Mystic Marvin Sparks... again

Only kidding with the "again" (not really but I don't want to appear like I'm getting gassed). Anyone that follows me on Twitter will see that for the past few Thursday's, I have pointed out that I have featured all 5 of Robbo Ranx's top 5 on this very blog at least a month before it appearing on his chart.

You may remember this blog post where I predicted the hottest songs for the summer. The title say top 5, but I gave 6. Well when I say 6, I gave 4 single songs and 2 riddim mixes.

Anyway, I am pleased to say all of those have been on Robbo Ranx's chart. 5 of 6 have been playlisted by 1Xtra (all except for Jazzwad 'Your Place or Mine'), special shout out to Gyptian's song got remixed unofficially by hottest female rapper in the game Nicki Minaj, Clarks which has received national newspaper coverage over here in England, racked over a million hits on YouTube, stormed dancefloors and "Wha' gwaan Popcaan" (click to find out who Popcaan is as interviewed by I an' I) one of the phrases of 2010.

Oh and only 2 of those songs are currently on Robbo's chart at the moment. The other songs are Ricky Blaze 'Just You and I' (watch out for this track), Aidonia 'We A Tek It Off' which was knocked off by 'Straight Jeans and Fitted' and Wayne Marshall 'My Heart' (which features Grammy winner Estelle on the latest remix with other big ones to come).

But anyway, enough trumpet blowing, I'm here to tell you that Vybz Kartel will take the winter with 'Touch A Button', Better Can Wuk and Street Vybz riddim (the most slept on riddim in UK) will buss up dances (both the Kartel pieces and possibly the Popcaan on (Popcaan's is hard) ).

Remember who told you first. Mystic Marvin Sparks aka the opinion you can trust (is it me or is their a sly rhyme in there?

Oh yeah, and a bonus, you may remember me singing the praises of a rising dancehall talent called Chino (here for interview, here for me singing his praises oh and here). You most probably don't, but anyway, he won something like best newcomer at a prestigious reggae awards last year, but this year he had the #2 best selling album in Japan a few weeks ago. Anyway, this past weekend they have been performing in Japan

All I'll say is watch @ 3mins 49 secs

Bounty Killer vs Vybz Kartel - Father vs. Son

Unlike Ele vs Flippa this war actually has substance. If you don't know here's a brief: After being written a few songs by said artist, Bounty Killer (Killa) introduces and mentors (sons) Vybz Kartel Kartel appeared & performed at Beenie Man (Killer's arch-enemy since 190-long) wedding Kartel declares emancipation from Bounty Killer-led Alliance camp stressing the need to grow his own wings to fly Killer calls Kartel ungrateful Mavado and Kartel war begins, Killer makes a whole heap of subliminal songs directed at Kartel... Kartel has made a few songs directly dissin Killer, but Killer never really outright replied causing many and even Kartel ( Click for Vybz Kartel dissin Alliance "Suck pu**y Killer can't diss me" ) to suspect the once fearless Killer was running scared of the 'War Angel' aka Gaza yout' Vybz Kartel. Killer finally plucked up the courage to send shots at Kartel But most notably with Chatta Box Vybz Kartel allegedly missed a b...
