This one Vybz Kartel’s “Mi Baby U” over Don Corleon’s new Summer Scheme Riddim. Dancehall and Reggae heavy hitters Sean Paul, Wayne Marshall and more jump on the tape too. Summer’s starting to heat up (but be careful not to get beach-sand in your Clarks)!
Wiley’s been making waves in Jamaica, with his latest ‘If I could’ with Ed Sheeran and his cut on the Showa Eski riddim a few months back, ‘It’s Wiley’. Now the second installment in the Showa Trilogy promised from Prodigal, the Showa Step riddim, is finally about to drop. This is a promo video for ‘Global Gangsta’ to give you an idea. It’s got Wayne Marshall, Einstein, Wiley and Joell Ortiz on it and need we say any more, it’s going to be huge. Prodigal describes the collab:
Three of the best spitters from across the world have their rhymes fused by an infectious chorus from one of dancehall’s hook-masters, and they are all declared global gangstas.
If you want to know more about the trilogy and Wiley, check the interview with Dylan Powe of Prodigal over at Seen.

The FOKN Bois are an Afropop and Dance group based in Accra, Ghana. This is a cut off the new DunaQuest tape out for free on Akwaaba Records. DunaQuest was recorded in Budapest, Hungry with the Reggae and Dance-hall group Irie Maffia on production. The result is a bashy mix of African beat and Hip-Hop with an East-Euro dance synthesizer throb. Listen up because FOKN is the Future!
