NO GAMES
by Matt Shadetek
This Serani song is really great, love the combination of reggae/dancehall vibes. Daseca strikes again on the riddim. Serani is actually a producer in the Daseca crew who has recently broken out as an artist. The vocal tone on the hook is beautiful. This song has already broken into the hiphop/r+b mix on Hot97 in NYC (where I heard Funk Flex playing it while I was washing the dishes) which suggest that you’ll all be hearing a lot more of it.

Matt, a lot of commercial hiphop/reggae radio DJs have been playing “No Games” along with/right after Movado’s “So Special” for quite a while now.
I developed the opinion that because the “So Special” hook can get tired, outside of the dancehall/party environment. It’s just too short so you have to add/tag another vocal piece to the riddim.
