Phyllisia – Money Clap (Song)

You may know Phyllisia's voice from such songs as Call on Me and Unconditional Love where she was featured along side Jah Cure.  But I was just shocked to find out she was not strictly a reggae artist.  It seems like she is a woman of many talents and here is a new track from her called Money Clap.  Give this a listen and leave your feedback.

Twin of Twins - Only God Knows (Video)

I recently heard this song featured on the Caribbean Hot 30 show with Nikki Z where she interviewed Twins of Twins.  She talked with Curley Loxx about the loss of his son Zion that happened in 2007 and then featured this song which was written in memory.  I took a moment to find the video and decided to post it up.  Its from back in 2007 but is one of those songs that will touch people years later as well.

 

If you don't know the story behind the song I recommend you listen to the interview and you will get the full story.

Dancehall DJs Urged to be Professionals

 

FOUNDER AND publisher of the Reggae Report magazine, Peggy Quattro, has taken leading dancehall performers to task, saying their violent lyrics and unprofessional conduct have alienated music industry heads in North America and Europe.

Quattro told The Gleaner that recent events involving dancehall acts Bounty Killer and Mavado, and Red Stripe's boycott of some live shows, have made it even more difficult to market the genre outside of Jamaica.

"They (record companies) are looking for professional artistes who will deliver a good product so they can sell records," Quattro said. "But these guys incite violence wherever they go, charge outrageous fees and don't show up on time. They are their own worst enemies."

Quattro did not name the record companies, but said their concerns are similar to Red Stripe's announcement in April that negatives associated with dancehall had forced it to withdraw financial support from major events.

Beenie Man and D'Angel Working Things Out?

It appears Moses "Beenie Man" Davis and Michelle "D'Angel" Downer are reconciling their differences and all indications appear that the former Jamaica power couple are being civil once more. Beenie Man has definitely been seeing their baby, Marco Dean very frequently as well. Beenie and D'Angel have also been spotted at Weddy Weddy.

Beenie Man - Wine Gal

 

Ninja Man in Canada after 21 years

Dressed in all white, Ninja Man took his seat at the front of the conference centre, appearing relaxed, and focused on discussing the One Umbrella Movement and its' organization, which promotes non-violence, especially amongst the youth.
"There is no one better than me to head this movement. Bounty can't do it; Beenie Man can't do it. Only a man like me who has lived the life I've lived can be a role model to these youths, and telling them that if they go the path of drugs, they will end up like this, or if they take up a gun, they will end up like that. I've been down that road, which everyone knows, and it's time for me to take up this cause to save the youths from a life that's not good. I know; I've been there as everybody knows. The only two other man who could do this is Josie Whales, or Super Cat. We know that violence will never be eliminated, but we can at least bring violence down, and I am going to do it"! So said Ninja Man when asked how his life's experience has prepared him for this role

It's been 21 years since Ninja Man has touched Canadian soil, but this past weekend put that two decade absence to an end as Ninja Man, escorted by his wife, held a press conference at York University promoting the One Umbrella Movement founded by the Don Gargon himself.

"The press conference is being held to let the people know that after 21 years, Ninja Man is able to travel to Canada and also to spread awareness for the One Umbrella Movement" said Fabian 'Fabo' Hanson of Vibes Entertainment, who is responsible for obtaining Ninja Man's travel documents to Canada, as well as the United States. Fabo, long time business man, promoter and immigration consultant, has been chosen by Ninja to head the Canadian chapter of the One Umbrella Movement. The One Umbrella Movement was officially launched in Jamaica December, of 2007.
