Celine Dion rocks Jamaica Jazz & Blues Festival [Video]

Now, I’m not even sure if Celine Dion matches our mantra over here at SoulCulture, but I had to post this monumental occasion. Let me give a break down of how Celine Dion connects to the reggae specialist of SoulCulture; Celine Dion is worshipped in Jamaica. Read more

Shola Ama - Puppy Love

R&B singer Shola Ama was one of few women of colour representing on the UK charts in the nineties, alongside Des’ree, Gabrielle, Eternal, Jamelia and Shaznay from All Saints (all I recall at this moment). The north-west Londoner burst onto the scene with her top five charting cover of Randy Crawford‘s “You Might Need Somebody,” her 4x platinum-selling debut album Much Love, plus several other successful singles – namely garage anthem “Imagine” and featuring on UK dancehall artist Glamma Kid‘s “Taboo”.

We posted what now appears to have been a demo version with Ester Dean in place of Kelly Rowland. Wasn’t too hot on it before, grown on me a tad. Quite a sensual slow jam, from Sean’s latest album Tomahawk Technique, which is out on February 14th. Read more

Sean Paul – “Hold On” | New Music

A new leak from Sean Paul‘s forthcoming coming LP Tomahawk Technique. “Hold On” is one of the tracks he described as one of the deeper songs on the album in our recent interview. Following the same production theme of dancehall drums with mainstream pop melodies, the song is an anthem inspired by the Jamaican national team heading to the 2012 Olympics and also the victims of natural disasters such as those in Haiti.

Jamaica Party Tour feat. Mala, Shy FX, Coki, The Bug, Flowdan, RoxXxan, LadyLeshurr +more | UK Events

Jamaica Party is a celebration of Jamaica’s 50th year of independence and the influence Jamaica has had on the UK’s music scene. Since the 1950s, Jamaicans have brought the sound of their island directly to British dance floors. UK producers, DJs and musicians changed the sound of British music forever under the influence of Mento, Ska, Reggae and most recently the ever-changing Dancehall. Most brush it’s influence under the carpet, but real musical dons know. Read more

Marvin Sparks x Raekwon interview

Wu-Tang's in-house "Chef" better known as Raekwon proved he is still a force to be mentioned alongside the hottest rappers in the hip hop game with the release of Only Built For Cuban Linx... pt. II - sequel to his 1995 debut album. Marvin Sparks caught up with the hip hop legend to discuss rapping for drug dealers, people caring "more about stats than raps", his inclusion in MTV's Top 10 Hottest Rappers list, and converting to Islam. Marvin Sparks: It has been almost fifteen years since the first Only Built For Cuban Linx, an album that was a 5-mic classic when The Source magazine held weight. Why did you decide make a sequel?

Why Cheetah Woods, whhyyyy?!?!?!

We must all know about the predator nyamin woman (no bowcat reference intended - or am I lying? *shudders*). Anyone heard the voicemail he left for the girl he's been PARrin (there was a golf reference there) his wife with? Easy now my selekta as we rinse some tunes for di one name Tiger. Man like him doesn't know how to play. (By The Endz not Ruff Sqwad) How you gonna leave a voicemail for a girl with your real name at the beginning? Do you want to be held to ransom? Man from 'the ends' know (in the words of Kano) "That's slippin'!" And when isht hits the fan (like it has) he's buggered. Not something I deal in but surely the point of cheating is for an assortment of ladies. All his ones look the same; blonde, no breast nor batty.

Remember When Riddims Were King

Before you read, thank you for your interest and hope you enjoy. I actually fleshed it out into a book. You can get your copy from www.nolongstories.com   Now for what you came here for... When Riddims Were King 23rd May 2020 will be remembered in history for one of the most epic events in one of our universe's darkest times. We will never forget the night dancehall kings and former extremely heated rivals, Beenie Man and Bounty Killer, battled on the Verzuz platform built by hall-of-fame producers, Timbaland and Swizz Beatz. An unfiltered, 360-degree view on Jamaican dancehall events was showcased; DJ’s and dancing (Beenie Man’s daughter Desha Ravers) to deejay’s clashing on the same riddims. The latter elements provided the jewels in the night’s highlight reel, and undoubtedly the best thing to happen on the Verzuz series. Word spread like guava jelly within the dancehall community and Jamaican diaspora upon announcement. Not only was it a clash between the longest and fier
