Busy Signal Takes On Smokey Robinson’s ‘Crusin” Plus More New Dancehall/Reggae Songs
As many Dancehall and Reggae fans gravitated to Shenseea’s debut album, Alpha, with a sigh of relief last week, other practitioners in the genre had a slew of new singles.
You can listen to our selections on this list on our Spotify playlist.
Busy Signal – Cruising
This smooth, reggae-fused, R&B song covers the timeless 43-year-old classic, Cruisin’, by the legendary great, Smokey Robinson. Busy Signal’s falsetto delivery paces perfectly on the Nuh Rush Records’ produced beat, and lives up to, without much effort, the mesmerizing and melodic intrigue of the original recording.
Lord Abstract, Beenie Man, Mr. Lexx – Body Hot
Body Hot will undoubtedly appeal to the dancehall lovers of the 90’s era. Not only because Lord Abstract recruited two hitmakers from that time, but because the rhythm is reminiscent of the heavy-bass, continuously flowing, drum-riddled beat from that time.
Usain Bolt, NJ – Motivated
NJ serves as an artist on this motivational track, while the former Olympian, Usain Bolt, is the executive producer on yet another production done as a duo. Motivated is designed to encourage listeners to live up to their best selves while providing a bouncy party beat to inspire that go and get it done mood.
Intence – Circle
True to his catalog, Intence is warning all trouble makers that he is insane and if you “circle” around by his square, things are likely to get bloody and mirky. From killing “the old scientist” to “washing the dirty money”, with a quick ‘Yankee-sounding’ accent; this trap hall single is a banging weekend plus for any Gen-Z playlist.
Chronic Law – Family
Chronic Law is serious about his family in this up to the minute Kushface Entertainment and LMR Pro Production released dancehall song, that softly delivers the message with firm assurance.
Vybz Kartel – Girl Next Door
Specially dedicated to the ladies with that firm grip, Kartel deejays about the inquisitive nature of his neighbors who suspect that he might be in a relationship with “the girl next door”.
Vershon – Sip & Live
It’s a melodic take on living your best life, regardless of what hurdles may come your way. It could be a cup of coffee, a shot of Hennessy, or a glass of wine, this new release is encouraging you to “just sip and live,” while doing it.
Nation Boss – Type Of Pain
It’s another side to Nation Boss who first came on the scene telling us that he hardly trusts humans. In this One Motion Records production, the singer bares his soul, painfully expressing his hurt. From heartbreak to the devastating loss of family, the Faith artist hits once again on a relatable note.
IWaata – Guard
IWaata is currently trending online with this fresh release that reminisces on the very harsh way of life that molded him to be a man on his guard. His lyrically quick style motions seamlessly on the track by Dynasty Records and Lightning Entertainment.
