Fashion Fridays: Lord Blakely’s Super Cat x Ninjaman Clogs

Words by Jesse Serwer—

Ninjaman Supercat Clogs 2

Dancehall is known for its bold fashions, but clog shoes are one piece of attire we have yet to see inna bashment. That didn’t stop graphic artist Blakely Dadson (or Lord Blakely, if you prefer) from making the connection in fine style, designing clogs bearing the likenesses of two of his (and our) favorite deejays, SuperCat and Ninjaman. He calls these “The Dons,” naturally.

New Audio: Ninjaman’s “Dawg Nyam Yuh Supper”

Words by Jesse Serwer—

Ninjaman Dawg Nyam Yuh Supper

With the backing of Downsound Records‘ Josef Bogdanovich (aka “The Last Don”), the always unpredictable Ninjaman has seemingly become more prolific and focused than ever. The Original Front Tooth Gold Tooth Gun Pon Tooth Don Gorgon has released a torrent of new music in the past few weeks through Downsound, including his best song in nearly two decades, and a brilliant video for his single “Dweet.” His latest leak, “Dawg Nyam Yuh Supper” keeps the string going with some biting social commentary tackling the current economic crisis in Jamaica, delivered over a minimalist riddim from Cordell “Skatta” Burrell. The tune has a more traditional feel than your typical Ninjaman track—at least until it ends with one of Ninja’s trademark rants.

Ninjamania! The Don Gorgon’s “Dweet” Video + “Ninja Mi Ninja” Audio

Ninjaman Dweet

After Sting 2012, Ninjaman linked with Downsound Records and so far dancehall fans have gotten a plethora of new singles from the Don Gorgon, as well as a music video for “Dweet” with Specialist which has the streets buzzing so much they ended up making two.

Impressions: Images From Rebel Salute

Marcia Griffiths at Rebel Salute

Rebel Salute is Jamaica’s most significant annual reggae festival. While Sting bottles all of its hype into a single night, Sumfest splits its focus between pop and dancehall and Jazz and Blues is something else entirely, Tony Rebel’s gathering sets the tone for the year in reggae and also dancehall. This year’s two-day edition of Rebel Salute (held Jan. 18 and 19 at Richmond Estate in St Ann) was one of the most diverse and star-powered editions yet with performances from Sizzla, Busy Signal, Beres Hammond, Tarrus Riley, Aswad, Chronixx, Richie Spice, I-Wayne, No-Maddz, Protoje, the return of Terror Fabulous and, of course, Tony Rebel and his wife, Queen Ifrika. Scroll through for Martei Korley’s photo series from Rebel Salute’s Day One, and stay tuned for Part Two.
