Thought I'd Update Ya

Christopher Martin - Paper Loving

This tune is big! Tearing down Caribbean and Kenya on next levels. One of the underrated singers in Jamaica. Good to see he lives outside.



Shaggy featuring Mavado - Girlz Dem Luv We

Shaggy's back with another video. He's going in this year. "Your Eyes Only" with Alaine, now this. Mavado's going hard with the visuals as well; Star Bwoy, this, Category 5 riddim medley, and the one I'll post after this one.

Check for the cameo of UK rapper/MC/pop star Chipmunk at 3:23



Chipmunk featuring Mavado - "Every Gyal"

Posted the audio before, said I didn't think it was great. Has grown on me, but I still don't think it's anything special. Still big up Chipmunk for doing this though. Don for that.



Gaza Slim - "One Man/Moving On"

Finally, we have a video for "One Man". Has been killing dancefloors for almost a year now. She is much better looking than Sheba. Kartel, work with her more. Thanks.



Beyoncé - "Move Your Body"

I watched the Beyonce vid waiting for the direct dancehall influence (whole thing was indirect). And yes, I buss a gun finger when it happened. What's going on with Beyoncé rehashing stuff? First, Major Lazer's "Pon Di Floor", now re-licking her own "Get Me Bodied".

EDIT: "Beyonce has teamed up with Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move! campaign which has been set up to help fight against childhood obesity in America."



Last but not... actually it is least. It isn't dancehall or dancehall inspired.

Tinchy Stryder featuring Dappy - "Spaceship"

Right so, everyone was hyping this on Sunday claiming "Tinchy's back!" after the failure of his last album (his words "Tinchy told BBC Newsbeat: "To be honest, how I wanted people to hear it, it might not have got to as many people.", not necessarily mine). Funny how none of them said he was gone (in public) though lol (whether I did can be found on my blog somewhere). Anyway, I listened to it. First thought "Why's his voice like that?" Second thought "This beat is a rip of Rihanna's 'What's My Name'". Listen to it, similar pattern, similar chord stabs just a different progression. Oh and it's faster. Oh yeah, last thing, second verse contains Vybz Kartel's "Oh" in the form of an "Ah". Still, I wish Tinchy all the best. He's a good guy.

Marvin Sparks x Raekwon interview

Wu-Tang's in-house "Chef" better known as Raekwon proved he is still a force to be mentioned alongside the hottest rappers in the hip hop game with the release of Only Built For Cuban Linx... pt. II - sequel to his 1995 debut album. Marvin Sparks caught up with the hip hop legend to discuss rapping for drug dealers, people caring "more about stats than raps", his inclusion in MTV's Top 10 Hottest Rappers list, and converting to Islam. Marvin Sparks: It has been almost fifteen years since the first Only Built For Cuban Linx, an album that was a 5-mic classic when The Source magazine held weight. Why did you decide make a sequel?

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

Bounty Killer vs Vybz Kartel - Father vs. Son

Unlike Ele vs Flippa this war actually has substance. If you don't know here's a brief: After being written a few songs by said artist, Bounty Killer (Killa) introduces and mentors (sons) Vybz Kartel Kartel appeared & performed at Beenie Man (Killer's arch-enemy since 190-long) wedding Kartel declares emancipation from Bounty Killer-led Alliance camp stressing the need to grow his own wings to fly Killer calls Kartel ungrateful Mavado and Kartel war begins, Killer makes a whole heap of subliminal songs directed at Kartel... Kartel has made a few songs directly dissin Killer, but Killer never really outright replied causing many and even Kartel ( Click for Vybz Kartel dissin Alliance "Suck pu**y Killer can't diss me" ) to suspect the once fearless Killer was running scared of the 'War Angel' aka Gaza yout' Vybz Kartel. Killer finally plucked up the courage to send shots at Kartel But most notably with Chatta Box Vybz Kartel allegedly missed a b
