Kanye West samples another Reggae song

Popular comedian/recording artiste Noel ‘Rozah Roze’ Ellis has been sampled by Kanye West in a new single called ‘All Day’, which sees him borrowing lines from Ellis’ single ‘Dance With Me’.


Rozah Roze is known for his acting cameos in the popular Ity & Fancy Cat show, however, before turning to acting, he was releasing original songs in Canada.


Speaking with Rozah Roze last night, he told The STAR that he did not expect that his music career could bear fruits after so many years.


“I am really surprised because I released my album which the sample came from in 1983. The label called me since that in the late 90s and told me that they were going to re-release it, and I gave them the go ahead, but I didn’t see this coming so many years later,” said Roze, who is the son legendary Rock Steady icon the late Alton Ellis.


music overseas


The artiste who left Canada to reside in Jamaica in 2008, after his father’s death, says he had a feeling something special was happening with his music overseas during his absent.


“Every time I go on the Internet fans of my music constantly tell me that they like the album. But Jamaicans don’t know much about it because it was released in Canada. I also saw that some white reggae bands were performing my songs in their sets and I thought, this mean something is going on overseas,” he said.


Roze was still uncertain how much money he would gain from the sample. However, he did reveal that he signed a contract with the record label based in Canada, permitting Kanye West to sample his work.


“The label called me and told me that I am going to get my percentage from the deal. I trust them to deal with me good because I have worked with them before and they gave me my advance and such,” he said.


With his current stroke of luck, Rozah Roze is now looking to give his musical career a rebirth.


“My songs are serious social commentaries, real reggae. I also worked with Sly and Robbie before so it is up to me to get back to the serious part of my music. Mi and Ity and Fancy Cat were speaking about that recently and they were saying that some attention should be placed into the music. So this year we will focus on that,” he said.


Rozah is also brother to veteran comedian Owen ‘Blakka’ Ellis. Kayne West is no stranger to dabbling in reggae music, the rapper sampled Super Bugle’s Dust A Sound Boy in 2012.


Listen To “ALL DAY”





Since the Rozah Roze sample, several persons have viewed Dance With Me on YouTube, some admitting that they only became aware of the song due to Kanye West’s sample.

Kanye West says Grammys "lack respect"

Kanye West has accused the Grammys of “disrespecting artistry” by handing Beck album of the year instead of Beyonce, after almost invading the stage during Beck’s acceptance speech.


West had seemed about to repeat his infamous Taylor Swift moment, when he stormed the VMAs stage in 2009.


However in a rant on E! afterwards he said he decided to smile and sit down out of consideration for his daughter.


The rapper also said he thought Beck “should’ve given his award to Beyonce.”


“I just know that the Grammys, if they want real artists to keep coming back, they need to stop playing with us. We ain’t gonna play with them no more,” he told E! After Party, as he was interviewed alongside wife Kim Kardashian.


“And Beck needs to respect artistry and he should’ve given his award to Beyonce.”


Many Grammys viewers commenting on social media seemed to think that West’s brief appearance on stage next to Beck had been a joke. However the rapper said it was out of consideration for his daughter, North and his wife that he had decided not to gatecrash the stage.


West went on to say that he and other artists were “tired” of being disrespected by the Grammys.


“Because when you keep on diminishing art and not respecting the craft and smacking people in their face after they deliver monumental feats of music, you’re disrespectful to inspiration.


“And we as musicians have to inspire people who go to work every day, and they listen to that Beyonce album and they feel like it takes them to another place.”


West’s stance echoed the 2009 VMAs, when he stormed on stage as Taylor Swift was accepting her award, to say he thought Beyonce should have won.


“I’m not going to do nothing to put my daughter at risk, but I am here to fight for creativity,” he said.


“That’s the reason why I didn’t say anything tonight, but you all know what it meant when Ye [referring to himself] walked out on that stage!”


West had performed his track Only One during the ceremony, as well as appearing with Sir Paul McCartney and Rihanna for a performance of their collaboration FourFiveSeconds.


Beck won two Grammys including album of the year for Morning Phase, beating Ed Sheeran, Pharrell Williams and Sam Smith as well as Beyonce in that category.


The win must have come as a shock to Beck too, as he revealed to Billboard at Saturday night’s pre-Grammys party that he was not expecting to win.


“It would be a surprise with this record, honestly. I’ve been in that category before, and it’s usually something that’s very definitive of the time.”





Beyonce won three awards, while Sam Smith was the evening’s big winner with four.
