This is another one that you may not know was a cover, Shaggy’s version of The Folkes Brother’s ‘Oh Carolina’. The original was released in 1960 and was a landmark single in the development of reggae and ska music. It was reworked by Shaggy in 1993 and became an international mega hit.
We thought we would put it up here, because we have the fantastic, romantic, boombastic lover Shaggy in the studio this Wednesday so we can celebrate his birthday with fairy bread and chocolate crackles, and ask him questions like ‘Why does he sound drunk on each one of his tracks?’
“alie, shes choong!! sho, fittest gal in britain an best female grime rapper innit”
Does anybody in England speak English anymore? That was one of the comments I noticed on a Mz Bratt interview. Look out for this very ‘choong’ rapper from East London. She first popped up doing her thing with big time grime producer Terror Danjah, since then she starred in Reality TV show Musicool, done some touring with Count & Sinden and got a bit of Radio 1 love, and recently has been dropping bomb after bomb. Yeah, she only has a few verses, but they are all good ones.

I think this one was 2007. That is my guess. Bliss N Eso swing by the studio for some titty fart bum bum rhymes. Later some of these verses were released as part of songs on albums. Check out Bliss N Eso’s new LP ‘Running On Air’. Whenever I hear the title of the new album Joey Scarbury’s ‘Believe It Or Not (I’m Walking On Air)’ plays in my head.

Woah! English Dancehall emcee, Lady Chann almost breaks our studio mic when she blows us away with a live in studio performance of ‘Lady Chann Runs England’. Working with producers like Sticky and Toddla T, she represents a new movement in UK dancehall which seems to draw influence from the sounds coming from the UK dance music scene. Oh and she has a killer show as we saw in Sydney.
