Sleepy Wonder’s danchall hit “Bounce” – don’t sleep on it

Sleepy Wonder – “Bounce”

While Sleepy Wonder is a diversely talented singer, songwriter, DJ and popular live performer, this track “Bounce” is strictly dancehall. Playing from his core strength as a seamless, entertaining rapid fire MC, this could easily be the Sleepy Wonder theme song. Positive and fun, it also cuts with a genuine street edge and st8 of the art dancehall production. A perfect blend, add it up it’s gr8. Bounce wit me.

Collie Buddz gets smoke in the Eyez

Collie Buddz – “Eyez”

“Nowadays ya need eyez in the back of your head,” observes Collie Buddz. I usually h8 the auto-tuner effect on vocals, but like anything else, it can be used artfully and that is the case here. Icy cool song with an urban angst-y slickness and bluesy dancehall vibes. I dig it.
