No Liad: 2 Chainz Collaborates with Jamaican Producer

Words by Jesse Serwer—

2 of Everything 2 Chainz

Love him or hate him, you can’t avoid 2 Chainz. The G.O.O.D. Music rapper’s singles “I’m Different” and “No Lie” are inescapable as his features on “Problems’ by A$AP Rocky and Juicy J’s “Banda A Make Her Dance.” Yesterday, we came across a new song, ”2 of Everything” by Boy Wonder a.k.a. Eddy Souza that features Mr. Chainz and some yardie mic chatter. A quick internet investigation reveals that the song was co-produced by RiecesPiec.es, a producer from Tampa by way of Jamaica whose previous work includes an official remix of M.I.A. ft Jay Z – “XXXO” and an EP that saw him mash up recent dancehall tunes by Baby Cham with recent singles by Future and Lil Wayne and TI.

More ‘Culture’: Spragga Benz’s ‘Get that Dough’ Video

Words by Jesse Serwer—

Spragga Benz’s Shotta Culture album from 2010 was one of the best dancehall albums in recent memory, and it’s still bearing fruits. Nearly after two years after the Salaam Remi-produced LP dropped, we now have a video for the album’s “Get that Dough.” While “Get that Dough” might sound like just a shotta anthem, the Miami-shot video turns it into an anthem for all working people, as Spragga collects an assortment of (legal) hustlin’ vendors and brings them out on his private boat. Get that dough!

Dust A Video Bwoy: Watch Kanye West’s “Mercy” Visuals

Words by Jesse Serwer—

Yesterday, we brought you the story of Super Beagle, the unsung but greatly talented Jamaican singer known for the ’90s dancehall classic, “Dust A Sound Boy,” a tune itself known for having one of the greatest intros of all-time, courtesy of legendary dubplate figure Fuzzy Jones. Among other things, Beagle shared his high opinion of Kanye West’s latest single, “Mercy,” which samples and has brought new light to “Dust a Sound Boy.”: “As an artist from Jamaica, we always think or hope that one day an artist like Kanye would sample your work, take it another level to show that people are really listening to our work, not only everyday people, but people [from] far away,” Beagle told LargeUp’s Sherman Escoffery. “It’s a good feeling, and I recommend and endorse it.”
