New Busy Signal Album Out July 13th!!!

Busy Signal is crazy.  He’s crazy talented, crazy versatile, and he’s crazy prolific.  Throughout the past year or so, Busy has dropped so many hot tracks that he could have probably put out a double album.  Instead, Busy’s third album, D.O.B., which drops on Wednesday, only has like three songs you’ve heard before and about a dozen all new tracks.  No doubt, he gets his name from being so damn busy, but shit.  He’s like the James Brown of dancehall or something.

Here are two new tracks that you probably haven’t heard before that will be featured on the album.  Di Genius kills the beat on this first track, “How U Bad Suh,” on some crazy techno dancehall madness.  I’m feelin it.

The next track

Busy Signal vs the Commodores and Phil Collins

Guess who wins. This is definitely the most unexpected reggae video of the year thus far. VP Records all-star Busy Signal gets his security guard sing-jay on and manages to come out on top while playing the humble. Hip-hop artists could learn a thing or two from this. Conversely, ladies could learn a thing or two from the video vixens that he selects.

Busy Signal – Blaze up di herbs (Joelito remix)

Of the various camps responsible for the global cumbia surge (no Iraq), none has been more at the forefront than the Emayo Cutz crew. Joelito, one third of the crew (along with El Hijo de la Cumbia and Rebenga), just shot this Busy Signal remix into the LxNxM inbox (lastnightsmixtape@gmail.com if you aren’t knowing), and it is fiery. It’s high paced, bassy, and not for the faint of heart. Download it, turn it up, and let it rip.

Sunday Morning Shout Music

It’s Sunday, and without trying to push spirituality on anybody, I know personally that I like a little praise and worship music on days like this. A little, jump up and shout music, if you will. Gospel does the trick sometimes, but since I’m Bahamian, I don’t mind something with a Caribbean sound to it as well. “I am Blessed” by Mr. Vegas does it for me every time. The fact that Busy Signal has a gospel track as well is interesting.
