New song:Reggae hitmaker Capleton supports Obama with People Want Change!

Capleton is the latest reggae artist to show his support for Obama by penning a support song. On “People Want Change”, Capleton throws down the gauntlet on government and all sorts of “babylon” including war, Osama Bin Laden, and the lack of equal rights for all.

YawdFromAbroad has a new look!

It’s been a R-E-A-L-L-Y long month for me while working on the site. It’s taken a lot of blood, sweat, almost tears, and even some hard cold cash but I’ve gotten it done finally. I had to update the site mainly because I’m a perfectionist of sorts when it comes to this site, I [...]
