Should include Soca in this thread as well. That season (as much as I dislike it) is upon us. Time for me to put on my soca screw face.

Did we mention Kranium - 'Nobody Has To Know' in the other thread? That one's heating up.

Isn't this K. Smith's thread?

He started last year's thread but doesn't mean we can't create this years thread,

I'm not the thread police either way, just (out of respect) I'm saying it was originally his and he'd done it the last couple of years. It's like someone other than R-Tistic star the Hip-Hop version.

Machael Montano - HMA (Happiest Man Alive) SOCA 2014

Yea my bad , was ment to include soca , if it can be changed I will be happy to do It , and as no thread was started I thought I would do it , don't wana step in anyone's shoes

I gotta look through my Serato crates.

I been laggin behind with the dancehall. Either that or the genre been quiet as of late.

^^^^ I would say quiet as of late.... Nothing (to me) that's really notable.

i have to say I'm not overly keen on this new image , Alkaline, Gage, Tommy lee and so on , Some good tracks and seem to be making a name for themselves just not really my thing, Might grow on me tho

+1

Alkaline, n Tommy Lee is hit or miss for me, Gage...idk just can't get into his material

Yea it's took a turn for the evil side to much for me, It's not about life and culture , Just to much hatred on the music, Love the Hard Dancehall but when there's something abit more about it, Alkaline has made some good tracks and tommy lee , Gage's First few tracks were good but since sting it's like there trying to make a point

I agree. I thought I was just getting old...lol

Nope. That demon crap needs to go.

On a more positive note for dancehall Ward 21's new album is pretty good. It's boom-bap dancehall which is the way I think most of us like it. Check out this album mix:

soundcloud.com


Not sure if these were mentioned in here. Both Konshens tunes:

Just Dance Yah Gal: soundcloud.com

Sumn Deh: soundcloud.com

Bunji - Truck on di road

Machel is getting hot now HMA, epic

Ashanti ft. Beenie - First Real Love

Sex Mate Riddim

Cutty Ranks - Dem a twerk

Creshendo - Perfect Girl

Kevani- Body Good

As the Trinidad & Tobago Carnival celebrations wind down (after so much wining up!), Bunji releases a brand new EP to vocalize his sentiments. According to Urban Dictionary, "Tabanca," is defined as "an extreme sadness and/or a depression following one's breakup or separation from one's significant other." Not one to dwell on the sadness, Bunji also includes "Red Light District," "Carnival Tabanca (Vikings remix)," and this year's Carnival anthem "Truck On D Road" on the EP. Full track list below:

1. Carnival Tabanca
2. Truck On D Road

Kartel - selfie Riddim

and finally we have a riddim named "Selfie"

OCHI QUEEN – REAAA

mad tune !!

soundcloud.com

a remix to alkaline - bruk out that i did

Can someone pleas explain to my why this Wayne J song is gaining so much steam?? Im lost...

This Yute go Haaaaard!..


Watchwww.youtube.com

It's actually catchy (the riddim that is) and he's a yute spitting positivity in a industry that glorify guns bitches and drugs... Sex and explicit shit.... While it does have its place, not every song has to portray it.

Alkaline (the guy he dissing) is the next young artist and while I did hear a few positive tracks from him, it's mostly raunchy... The whole dancehall scene is kinda tired of all that, hence why chronixx and the likes are gaining so much forwards.... It's a refreshing thing to see it go back positive. Don't get me wrong, slackness haffi gwan.... But time and place.

Catchy!!

Watchwww.youtube.com

Still harder

Agreed.

^^^ Yeah I can see that, N iv'e had the chance to work with Alkaline back in the Summer. Dude (at this point) is HARD to work with.

I was actually speaking of this one.... Watchwww.youtube.com Apparently it's the bun down in yard right now....

Can anyone confirm?

Four Seasons Riddim
Happy Hour Riddim

two i really like

also a big fav song of mine is Tessanne Chin Ft Assassin - Everything reminds me of you

The HARDEST!..lol
Watchwww.youtube.com

^^^^ LMAO Can't disagree tho...

Thread is like gold all the time. Does anyone play Dynasty? Thats my boy he makes good dancehall. Not sure if he's excepted in the islands much but his music rangs off everytime I play it.

Haven't heard of him as yet. Where is he from?

Brooklyn NYC give him some listens its not typical but its good dancehall. Let me link you he's a good friend of mine but hes actually talented so Im not just plugging him cause hes a friend. I actually play his music every weekend. He also does some Spanish and some reggaeton but he's dancehall4life mostly

www.reverbnation.com

sub'd

Did anyone mention Kartel - Pretty Face?

Don't thing so BIG tune.

not sure if it was mentioned but what are some good sites to get hq dancehall songs from. I use franchise but there missing allot of hot stuff that's out there.

Dancehallzone.net .... a lot of new stuff weekly.

thanks @dj jmac

Starting a gig where I can play some reggae (finally). Looking through charts for the last few years now.

Thanks for all the help in this thread!

Hey guys!
I have a really stupid question for you guys. I will feel retarded after this but i GOTTA know!

I heard this song a few times and I totally love it! It is like a dancehall party song. It sounds like they say something like 'bum sah, bigi bum sah, bigi bumsah'. Thats actually the only thing I can tell..
Is someone here a genius living shazam machine?
Aka is there someone out there who can help me?
I would be very gratefull!

LV guy or girl singing it? whats the bpm?

bpm is like 100-110 and its a guy singing (:

Biggie Bounce or Bumaye?

Watchwww.youtube.com
Watchwww.youtube.com

Bumaye is the most likely , Major Lazor Track

Nope, sorry :( I knew both songs before I ever heard the song I'm talking about :(

Old or new? Does it sound similar to anything or anyone else? Anymore of that beat? Lol

This maybe?

Watchwww.youtube.com

its pretty new i think because i never heard it before and now theyre playing it every time i go out.. the type of song reminds me of major lazers bubble but. i cant think of any other song with the same beat :( and matterhorn, thanks for the suggestion but thats not the one :(

LV Where are you based? That may help. Dancehall is played differently in different parts of the world with the US being the last to catch on to newer stuff (for the most part)

I live in the netherlands and in german its also played a lot in clubs :0

New-ish? Major laser style? Could it be tommy lee - kitty kat?

Gonna consult my EU fam. Hopefully we can figure this out

My bad I meant to say: Gage- Kitty Kat

youtu.be

thatsalso not the one :( sorry! but thanks for the suggestion. It also reminds me a little of 'bala' from tony montana... it really sounds like theyre saying something like 'bum sah, bigi bom suh, bigibumsuh' sth.. its so frustrating!!

Dude, gotta give us more !!! Lol

Last ditch effort:
Aresol can - major lazer & pharrell

youtu.be

i know right.. I'm so sorry thats not the one either :'( I think you gotta give up on this one :'(

LV-

Watchwww.youtube.com

Not dancehall, but worth a shot.

Theres that many tracks out weekly its hard to pinpoint with just a few halfed guest words lol , Any idea on the artist or if its straight dancehall or does it sound like a dance/dancehall Remix

Watchwww.youtube.com

lol

Hahaha lol dj dynamight xD I thought of that episode of married with children myself when I heard myself talking like that xD

But the good news is: I FOUND IT!!
I spoke to a dj last night and we were talking about dancehall. When I asked him he knew immediately what I was talking about!

The track is called 'bunx up' from deewunn and Marcy Chin :D
thanks everybody for all the help (:!

HAHAHAHAH. There is NO WAY we could have guessed that from the clues you gave us. That record is just getting hot over there now? It's over a year old but still a dope track. Ward 21 produced as well.

Yeah the more unknown numbers are getting here prettttty late lol! but the real hits that are high in the top 40 arrive pretty fast (: We often check out the USA itunes top 40 to keep up with you guys lol!

^^^^ Which is funny because we are way behind most European countries when it comes to Dancehall/Reggae unless you're embedded in the scene.

Glad you finally figured it out! I never figured out what song that was either. When I first heard it I asked someone and they didn't know. I figured I'd find it eventually. Thanks for asking!

i'm really digging the new take on this track: Watchwww.youtube.com

Pharrell - Happy (Cousin Cole's Reggae Mix)

Wul dem again riddim, and the Elastic Riddim. Can see both sticking around for a while!

What about Conjugal Visit - Kartel and Spice, you think it's another Romping shop or nah?
