Rising Dancehall sensation, Altiman Grason, more popularly known as Alty B has been enjoying a wave of mainstream success in 2013, in part thanks to his latest achievement: Releasing the official video for his hit single, Island Girl.

The single, which features fellow star singjay, Richie Loop has inundated airwaves across Jamaica, Canada and even Africa as it has launched Alty B to heights he has tried many years to climb. The Toronto-based entertainer has been featured in several publications, including the Jamaica Gleaner, Jamaica STAR and the Vision Newspaper in the United Kingdom and travelled to Jamaica in mid-April, doing media promotions for the track.

During his trip to Jamaica, Alty got the groundwork going on the video for Island Girl.

Gaza Slim admits the constant delays have frustrated all parties involved, telling IRIE FM that the legal process has been tiring. However, she is optimistic there will be a light at the end of the tunnel.
"Dem just constantly putting it off, putting it off but yuh done know, a God we put we trust inna enuh, not mankind so what is to be must be," she said. "Just waiting on the boss [Kartel] to just come out. Yuh done know everybody miss him but I miss him the most."

Syleena Johnson indulges in reggae alongside Musiq Soulchild for "Feel the Fire," the official single from their upcoming album, "9INE." The song, exclusively premiered here on The Juice, stemmed from a chance encounter during a recording of a duet for reggae producer Kemar McGregor's compilation album which then snowballed into a full-length LP.

"The music was so good, and [Musiq and I] both love Kemar's production so we're just like, 'Why don't we just do [an album] together?'" the soulful songstress tells Billboard.

According to Syleena, "9INE" is heavily influenced by numerology. The pair teamed up with McGregor to record nine tracks for the album in nine days. The two are also born in September, the ninth month of year, which she said added to the divinity of the project.

Allowing their voices to intertwine effortlessly over the steady pulse of McGregor's acoustic production, "Feel the Fire," arrives just in time to compliment the dawn of summer. Fans will have an opportunity to gain insight on the recording of the single as well as another titled "The Promise," during episodes seven and eight of TV One's "R&B Divas."

Jamaican reggae artist and dub poet virtuoso Yasus Afari brings his eclectic and celebrated brand of Caribbean music to the masses with his new album Public Secret, set for a worldwide release on June 11, 2013 from FOX FUSE. Afari is hailed as one of reggae music's leading lyricists and one of the world's most prolific dub poets, who consistently delivers with witty, creative and cleverly articulated content. Public Secret, his 8th studio effort, stays true to form and is destined to defy and redefine reggae dub poetry.

Exhibiting profound lyrical mastery, along with his integration of social-political issues facing mankind, Afari's works are thought provoking and audibly pleasing. His poetic justice continues with Public Secret, which exemplifies Afari's intelligence and firm stance at the helm of the dub poetry genre. The album offers 15 tracks, all written by Afari, and sees 10 original selections along with five (5) dub versions of selected songs. Penning prolific poems on singles such as "Wine Pon Paper," "Poetree Caan Nyam," "Do Good," "Ring Pon Comedy" and "Guidance," Afari seamlessly blends his provocative, educational missives with one-drop reggae and other rhythms, giving longtime and new fans a collector's item.

"In preparing Public Secret, my goal was to create original, inspirational, uplifting and empowering music of peace, love, hope and unity, which is relevant and accessible to all humanity," states Afari. "I hope to touch people's lives and souls in a personal and profound way, so that together we can move onward and upward in bringing awareness into the public space, and love and harmony into the secret, sacred space of our individual and collective souls."

The continent of South America is regarded as rich, fertile soil for the planting of reggae music, so it was with a "special joy" that singer, Duane Stephenson, packed his bags and journeyed with the Wailers to Brazil at the end of April.

An eight-city tour, which started in Curitibra and spanned through the capital Brasilia, Salvador, Porto Alegre, and on to Brazil’s famous Rio de Janiero, among other cities, was the perfect way for Duane to spend 12 musically exhilarating days. Duane had received his South American baptism on a previous sojourn to that continent, which had also included performances in parts of Central America, all of which helped to lay the foundation for his memorable return visit.

Despite putting in some hard work at building his career there, even Duane himself has confessed that he was surprised at the vibrant welcome he was given by his growing fan base in the Americas.
