👑 EESAH ( @EesahMusic on X and IG ) 🇯🇲
While the whole ah Jamaican media on the web is arguing about which millionaire is badda than the next. There are many artists who have been and ARE making very good NEW music that is being totally ignored by many in Jamaica.
Go listen to his DEEP MEDZ album from 2024 if you haven't ....
Big Up to @backayardlive BACKAYARD MAGAZINE who never fail in their mission to promote and expose GOOD QUALITY Jamaican music

RIP to a General of Jamaican music culture Lt Stitchie. He used well his teaching background in his lyrics, he had style, he had humour and was a fierce competitor on the mic. Rest well Sir🙏🏽
Veteran deejay Lieutenant Stitchie is dead.
He died at hospital in Kingston on Monday, one day shy of his 61st birthday.
He has been ailing for some time.
Stitchie suffered a debilitating stroke in September 2024, and since then has been receiving care at a private medical facility.
He was born Cleveland Laing in Spanish Town, St Catherine in 1965.
He was a former athlete and school teacher.
Stitchie cut his musical teeth on the competitive sound system circuit during the early 1980s, alongside Papa San, Wickerman, and Major Worries.
He got his mainstream breakthrough with the hilarious Wear Yuh Size in 1986, followed by Natty Dread.

Who actually built di riddim? How much was Supa Hype paid for the riddim? What exactly was the contract between Supa and VP? Did Matterhorn sign a split sheet? How can Matterhorn have no direct earnings from a song he voiced?

There is a lot to be said but generally, ignorance will always cause mischief. So many people involved in the song got played because they either signed away their ownership & other rights to the song, or they didn’t seek out & secure payments for their contributions, that’s it.

🎵But I said
"Cool down the pace for me, little woman
You're dubbing it too fast for me, ah
Cool down the pace for me, little woman
That's not how it should be"
I told her to try
I don't know why
No use trying 'cause she can't
And so she do it how she want
