Every week resident FADER selector Eddie STATS runs through dancehall riddims and other artifacts from the ghetto archipelago.
So, there’s this new dude running dancehall called Busy Signal. Maybe you hearda him, he is on the cover of FADER and his record came out yesterday on VP and also I have mentioned him in this space x a billi. He’s been so consistently killing it this year that I’ve been contemplating an entire column dedicated to him pretty much since I started Ghetto Palms but now that MIA is on the remix and his moment has so clearly arrived, I almost didn’t do it. Considering that he is the one new artist in dancehall that people are actually excited to hear an album from—as in a long-player—as opposed to just collecting the various juggling riddims, it seemed kinda wrong to just put a whole mess of his music on the net for free. With that in mind what follows is a quick and dirty Busy Signal teaser mix designed to put you in a copping frame of mind.
Busy Signal blend:
“Step Out”
“Whine Pon di Edge”
“Mek She Stamma”
“Wine Up, Wine Up”
“Tic Toc”
