Brand new video for one of the biggest tunes of the year from Wayne Marshall featuring—here we go—Aidonia, Damian Marley, Assassin, Bounty Killer and Vybz Kartel. Now a lot of times these extra-stacked collabos can lead to an unorganized mess of verses with no real cohesion, but all of these heavy hitters in dancehall deliver their own razor sharp lyrics to this undeniable Jamaican anthem. Note the *scene missing* reel during Kartel’s phone verse…

As we get deeper into winter, Mixtape Mondays is bringing more fire to keep your home, office and iPod nice and warmed up. With a Showtime-heavy mix from JA, a “clean” one from London, some tropical bashy from the UK and icey vibes from the Northwest, here’s plenty of ammo to help you fire through your week.

Only occasionally heard from since a mid-aughts run that produced the unlikely crossover hit “Can’t Satisfy Her” and “Living in Love,” new roots movement leader I-Wayne returns next week–Oct. 11 to be exact–with his third album for VP Records and first in four years, Life Teachings. As you might expect, most of the album (the cover art to which was shot by our own Martei Korley) finds Wayne in his one-drop riddim comfort zone. One exception, and probably our favorite tune on the LP, is ‘The Fire Song,” an uptempo dancehall number featuring Agent Sasco (or Assassin, for you traditionalists). The tune, co-produced by Gareth Campbell for Boardhouse Records and co-written by Daseca, first turned up last year (check this behind-the-scenes video from the session) but still hasn’t seen the light it deserves. Stream below, and buy the album here when it drops next week.

You probably already heard the latest single “Rude Boy” from Bajan-gal-to-the-world Rihanna. It’s number 3 on the UK charts and the video is generating much twitter-beef over it’s distinctly M.I.A.ish look. (Less has been said about the ouch-girl inspired outfits and Rihanna’s interpretations of 90s throwback dances like the bogle and butterfly but we’re more inspired by those angles).
