Mavado talks Vybz Kartel and more

Winford is Jamaica's King of Entertainment. His weekly show Entertainment Report is a must-see each Friday on CVM

I'll be honest I don't know what channel this show comes on, guessing it's the same channel but (The Rock voice) "It doesn't matter!"

First of two part;

In part 2 Mavado speaks

  • His charity in schools
  • Gully vs. Gaza fighting in schools
  • Names his favourite Vybz Kartel song
  • International collaborations with hip-hop and R&B A-list
  • Speaks to the youths

Anyone who knows me personally knows I always said Mavado will beome the biggest thing from dancehall since Sean Paul (I endorse Damian Marley but he isn't from the dancehall scene). I am proud to hear he is working with those big-name artists such as Drake and Alicia Keys and to a lesser extent Maino.

You may disagree with his controversial songs, but remember where he comes from; his mindstate reflects that. In recent times as his circumstances and experiences have changed, so has his subject matter. He deals with much more uplifting songs in comparison to when he first buss. Comes across genuine and even though he isn't the most eloquent he gets his point across well. Wish I could speak patois. He's also much more mature than Kartel. Notice Mavado addresses Kartel as Addi, whereas Kartel refuses to call Mavado anything other than "Di Barber". Shows who values the war ting more. Who remembers when Kartel used to call Mavado the singer? That all changed since he himself has become one don't?

Julian, link up the interview. Been promoting Mavado from day. Safe

White band win Reggae Grammy x Koffee x Skillibeng

So a white American reggae band called Soja won the Best Reggae album award at the Grammy's? And you care because? You feel Jamaicans are losing reggae because the Grammy's (a white institution) gave their white American man award to a white American reggae band? You blame the Jamaican government for not showing enough love and support to the music because this is the result? But you don't realise you are giving the Grammy's that much power and don't see where the problem lies? Well let me tell you; the problem is within you. I understand the outrage. Jamaicans built the music and are rarely compensated for all the hard graft. There have been countless examples of the music being used by someone else, often to better results because we live in an ignorant and racist Western world. Historically, white reggae artists like The Police or UB40 are able to achieve better results in the white man's world than reggae artists that are far superior to them. Bruno Mars , J...
