“I’ve done rake and scrape songs before, so this new song is a bit of a reminder to the public. Her introduction to the Bahamian public was “Happy Hour”, a Junkanoo song that is still quite popular. This is not Wendi’s first rake and scrape or Junkanoo song. “He knows rake and scrape because he is a son of Cat Island, so I’m really happy with what he came up with, and then, of course, I put my sauce on it in terms of the delivery.” Wendi wanted a sexy song and is really happy with what Anwar McDonald came up with. I’m excited that it’s coming out now, this seems like a really ripe season, the harvest is ready,” she said. A few months after that he invited me to be on it. “Julien let me hear the riddim last year, when he had just finished recording it with Freddie and I thought it was amazing. It is written by Anwar McDonald and mixed and mastered by Freddie “Got Stykz” Seymour.
Wendi 242 recorded her song on the riddim, “Smart Boy”, back in August of 2022. I’m looking to forward to more Bahamian audiences hearing it, getting to know it and getting to know all of our songs on the riddim.” Kudos to Freddie ‘Got Stykz’, it is a well-produced track, it has a great ‘lick’ to it that makes you want to dance. The feedback has been that they get the message, they understand and love the message. The response has been incredible, as soon as people hear the song they definitely relate to it.
“I’m open to working with all Bahamian artists. Patrice said she is always looking forward to creating more music, and if the opportunity presents itself again for the four artists to collaborate on a rake and scrape song or a riddim, she is open to it. “You will have to wait and see what I come out with in terms of who will be on the remix, and I’m looking forward to performing the song on regional and international stages.” She revealed that there have already been discussions about collaborating on remixes of the songs with other local and regional acts, and there are already a few prospects out there. “I would love the song to go as far as it can go, I would love to see Bahamian music take the world by storm, it just requires us continuing to put out quality music,” Patrice pointed out. The song is resonating with a lot of people, as the phrase “Don’t Call My Name” is one that many Bahamians and Caribbean people use and can relate to.
“I worked with Julien before in the past and he has always created quality music, so when he reached out to me about the riddim, and it being specifically a rake and scrape riddim – a genre I’ve never written or produced music in – I was excited to take on the challenge,” Patrice added. “I knew I wanted to write a song that most people in The Bahamas and the Caribbean can relate to. “I automatically starting singing the chant ‘Don’t Call My Name’ when I initially heard the riddim,” she said. Patrice Murrell wrote her song “Don’t Say My Name” with Anwar McDonald and Dyson Knight. Their collaboration on the Push Back riddim is the shot in the arm Carnival and rake and scrape lovers needed – the party now start! Expect to work up a sweat to “Don’t Call My Name” by Patrice Murrell, “Shake That” by Dyson Knight, “Smart Boy” by Wendi 242, and “Push Back” by Julien Believe, who created the riddim with producer Freddie “Got Stykz” Seymour and brought the others onboard. They have carried the Bahamian flag across the region and the world, and because of them, everyone knows The Bahamas has a high caliber of talent. These artists have consistently put out high-quality music that dominates the local airwaves. Big things are always expected from Julien Believe, Patrice Murrell, Wendi 242 and Dyson Knight. Bahamas Carnival is back in a big way, and the big guns of Bahamas music were certainly not going to be left out.
