There are those who sing and then there is the one and only Sanchez. With hits like Frenzy, Loneliness, Stuck On You, One In A Million, Praise Him, and Brown Eyes he has set the standard not just for reggae singers, but all singers.Nicknamed by friends after Brazilian soccer player Hugo Sanchez for his advanced [...]

Today is also Mavado’s birthday, I’ve posted an article the Jamaica Star did on him directly from his MySpace page for those of you who aren’t familiar with the infamous “Real McKoy“.
“Mavado aka Real McKoy, stamped an indelible mark on the dancehall scene since his hit single, also called Real McKoy, took off.
Recorded on [...]

I ran across the Upliftment Jamaica Foundation about a year and a half ago while researching existing charities that focused on Jamaica. In 1999, five young men in White Horse, St. Thomas founded the charity in order to give back to the community and environment. The foundation currently provides food, books, health clinics, art programs [...]

“On a Saturday morning, before the shop opens, Starr catches Nigel at a cheque cashing place and the sparks fly when she accuses him of sending money to another girl back home. This time Nigel’s answer is serious and when Starr sees him helping Dre with his chores, she realizes she may have judged him [...]

I’d been reserving this post but I think with the death of Herb McKenley on yesterday it would be a befitting tribute to his legacy. McKenley, an accomplished sprinter, won three medals at the 1951 Pan American games, was a member of Jamaica’s 1952 Olympic winning mile relay team, and was even bestowed with the [...]

I used to leave one of the tabs open on my browser just so I could listen to this remix over and over again on my best friend’s MySpace page. I think this re-mix was slept on or maybe I was the only one sleeping , but I never heard it get major airplay [...]

It’s been a while since I did one of these, so here’s a new one for you…Congratulations to Alicia Keys for debuting No. 1 on Billboard with her new album, As I Am. Alicia sold almost 750,000 copies in the first week! Alicia Keys father, Craig Cook, is a Jamaican. (Craig was not a part [...]

I’ve seen some nasty public divorces but this is on a whole ‘nother level! I don’t understand why everything that happens between them, they take straight to the same media that’s “laughing off of them”. Here are the headlines from just this weekend:
Beenie Man takes DNA test to verify paternity of baby Marco Dean
D’Angel boo’ed [...]

Hey guys, I’m still worn out from spending the week at my parent’s house. You know how it goes when you stay with family during holiday time, you are nothing more than an indentured slave, and to think in less than a month I’ll be doing the same thing again for Christmas, hey at least [...]

Sean Kingston wore this necklace on the American Music Awards and I couldn’t tell exactly what it was at the time other than big and shiny. Well, he wore it again on the Today Show and I must admit I never had any crayons in my school box that looked like these. The things that [...]

Happy Thanksgiving to all my readers who celebrate it! I’m thankful for so many things and this site and the people who are supporting me on this journey are one of them! I’m going to keep it short today because it is a national holiday and I want to go eat and watch the Cowboys [...]
