Jamaican dancehall artist Jahvillani has got a recipe for catch phrases that takeoff! One Govament President Jahvillani teams up with Trinibad’s star Prince Swanny on the catchy new track ‘First Class Flight’. The single, produced by hitmaker YGF, is an ode to the benefits of hardwork. Whether riding in expensive cars or catching first -class- flights, its clear there are no parameters to where these self- proclaimed ghetto youths can go.
Other hit songs from Jahvilani include ‘Clarks Pon Foot’ which garnered over 5 million streams as well as the badman anthem ‘Nuh Reason’ which swept radio circuits and dancehall clubs throughout the Caribbean, U.S., and U.K.
Patrick & Wayne Marshall – Can’t Fly
Canât Fly is an electronic / reggae dancehall crossover track from UK-based producer Patrick (formerly D-DOTs), featuring legendary Jamaican reggae and dancehall singer Wayne Marshall. The song, produced on Patrickâs recent writing trip to the islandâs capital, Kingston, is a genre-bending, reality tune that brings forth a powerful, uplifting message for those struggling. It is a result of the two sharing their distinctly unique experiences living in the âconcrete junglesâ of London and Kingston, respectively.Â
Marshall melodically blesses the chorus with the type of positivity ever so needed during this critically challenging time in history, âWith every tick-and-a-tock of the time, Itâs a process to free your mind . . . Seek freedom of the mind, Cause you canât fly in a cage.âÂ
With album art by photographer Grayson Lauffenburger depicting a skateboarder flying high in the streets of Kingston, the song is also reflective of the budding skateboard culture rising out of the cityâs notoriously mean streets. An uplifting opportunity for children, teens, and young adults, skateboarding is increasingly becoming a positive alternative on the island for those who find themselves at a crossroads in life. With the opening of the Freedom Skatepark and Youth Centre in Kingston this year, the growth of this much needed, positive shift in culture and sport is quite clearly evident.Â
With Canât Fly, Patrick and Wayne Marshall are poised to create an anthem for the streets that helps the masses keep pushing, literally and figuratively.Â
