Every so often in music we are afforded a rare blessing, an artist who possesses what I deem the musical trinity. First and foremost the artist can sing, the artist challenges our auditory mediocrity, and lastly heightens our consciousness of self and society. Meet reggae’s latest blessing: Etana.

I’m a self-admitted Beres Hammond groupie, I have a major crush on the man, not in a sexual way but, I just love the man’s voice and his style, and I know one day we’ll meet and when we do I just want him to sing a little bit of “Love From A Distance”, and [...]

Things are really, really heating up for Jamaican artists, and the country as a whole when it comes to homophobia. Gay rights activists are on the warpath and are taking no prisoners against reggae artists who have homophobic lyrics (past and present) and those who support them. Earlier this week, I reported that Red [...]

It’s Sunday night and I don’t normally post on the weekends, but I read this story and it just irked me to the point that I was drawn to my laptop to give my two cents. It just really ticks me off when corporations, or even people in general, try to insult the consumer’s or [...]

In honor of his latest joint venture with VP Records and Bad Boy, Let’s Get Physical, here’s Elephant Man’s latest video, Our World featuring Demarco.

The recent downfall of Audiomaxxx (not familiar with this scandalous site, then click here) brings to the forefront a common issue for all recording artists alike, but especially reggae artists.

I got my copy of Alaine’s CD, Sacrifice today and I’m excited. I really like her voice and the way she carries herself. I also think she’s slept on, I guess because she doesn’t have any controversy surrounding her. I wonder why she doesn’t perform at more concerts though…I don’t remember seeing her as a [...]

Happy Friday!

This weekend was in stark contrast to last weekend for me. Last weekend I was yelling and screaming while watching Hatton and Mayweather on pay-per-view! It was a great fight not to mention the hot wings, homemade nachos, and ice cream that I enjoyed while watching it! I must admit I thought Hatton was going [...]
