As titles go, Kingston Story is merely a case of key track graduating to title track because this slow-rolling and electro-flavored album qualifies as Vybz Kartel's least "Jamaican" release to date, including his collaboration with Major Lazer. Recorded with Mixpak Records owner and tasty house music producer Dre Skull, enjoyment of the album relies on adjusting expectations as Skull's beats aren't the usual clever and Kartel's performance is at half-speed, a pace that causes him to crack less jokes and reflect more, even if heavy issues like jail time and arrests are not what Vybz cares to address right here. In fact, "My Crew" is lightweight stuff lyrically, with Vybz toasting champagne and rattling off porno video titles at a Southern, syrup-sipping, hip-hop pace, but it's also a highlight as Skull bangs the timpani and drops quirky bits of Vybz in full ecstasy.

  • Narco-Narratives and Transnational Form: the Geopolitics of Citation in the Circum-Caribbean
    Narco-narratives and Transnational Form: The Geopolitics of Citation in the Circum-Caribbean Jason Frydman [email protected] Brooklyn College Abstract: This essay argues that narco-narratives--in film, television, literature, and music-- depend on structures of narrative doubles to map the racialized and spatialized construction of illegality and distribution of death in the circum-Caribbean narco-economy. Narco-narratives stage their own haunting by other geographies, other social classes, other media; these hauntings refract the asymmetries of geo-political and socio-cultural power undergirding both the transnational drug trade and its artistic representation. The circum-Caribbean cartography offers both a corrective to nation- or language-based approaches to narco-culture, as well as a vantage point on the recursive practices of citation that are constitutive of transnational narco-narrative production. A transnational field of narrative production responding to the violence of the transnational drug trade has emerged that encompasses music and film, television and journalism, pulp and literary fiction. Cutting across nations, languages, genres, and media, a dizzying narrative traffic in plotlines, character-types, images, rhythms, soundtracks, expressions, and gestures travels global media channels through appropriations, repetitions, allusions, shoutouts, ripoffs, and homages. While narco-cultural production extends around the world, this essay focuses on the transnational frame of the circum-Caribbean as a zone of particularly dense, if not foundational, narrative traffic. The circum-Caribbean cartography offers 2 both a corrective to nation- or language-based approaches to narco-culture, as well as a vantage point on incredibly recursive practices of citation that are constitutive of the whole array of narco-narrative production: textual, visual, and sonic.

  • With Ty Dolla $Ign Is Finally Starting to Catch on with American Audiences, the Singer Only Sees His New Recording Home As a Tool to Push His Movement Forward
    August 27, 2015 Kranium And Ty Dolla $ign Premiere The Video For "Nobody Has To Know" "This is not your typical dancehall video." Kranium's "Nobody Has To Know" is one of the most enduring dancehall songs this side of the aughts. Since it first dropped two years ago, it's been a bashment mainstay, perfect for dark corners and sweaty summer nights. The Atlantic signee recently recruited Ty Dolla $ign for a new version, and today he's dropping a video to go along with the DL-themed track. In the brightly hued video, Kranium skillfully evades paparazzi on a hoverboard before scooping his (presumably taken) woman and pulling up to a trailer for a middle-of- nowhere desert romp. Ty Dolla $ign is in the cut too, rolling through on a motorcycle with a fat blunt dangling from his lips. "Videos need to be creative and I think we pulled it off. This is not your typical dancehall video,” Kranium told The FADER over email. Accurate. Watch the video above, and hit the clip below for some behind-the-scenes views. June 15, 2015 Is Dancehall Going To Be Mainstream Again? 13 years after Dutty Rock, people in the music industry are ready to make dancehall pop again. Will they succeed? Once upon a time, Sean Paul was among the biggest pop stars in the world. His tour-de-force 2002 LP, Dutty Rock, charted in the Top 10 both in the US and in the UK. Singles like “Gimmie the Light” and “Get Busy” defined a slice of early aughts pop radio and earned the Jamaican singer a guest feature on Beyoncé’s debut album.
