International gospel singer Chevelle Franklyn, who made a successful transition from dancehall to gospel music in 1998, will headline the inaugural Ebenezer's 75th Anniversary Gospel Concert on Friday, March 14, 2008 at Lehman College, 250 Bedford Park Blvd in the Bronx. Other performers include Unconditional, the EPHN Temples of Praise Dancers and Choeur Magnificant.

Franklyn is no stranger to the limelight. She garnered major success in the early 90's with smash hits "Nice and Naughty" and "No Pushover" that were staples on reggae charts globally. This led to performances with some of the hottest reggae stars of the day and collaborations with Spragga Benz and dancehall icon Shabba Ranks. It was however her 1997 combination hit single Dancehall Queen with Beenie Man that had this singing sensation soared to musical heights. Over a hard driving drum and bass, disco-fueled rhythm, supplied by the creative genius of Sly and Robbie, Franklyn wailed a tribute to the queen.The song was featured on the "Dancehall Queen" soundtrack for Island Pictures and won her international acclaim. This eventually led to her signing to the Island Jamaica label.

OutAroad.com:
What was it like having sex for the first the time?

D’Angel:
There is no way I could forget that moment, I was really nervous, but curious at the same time.

OutAroad.com:
How often do you have sexual intercourse?

D’Angel:
It all depends on my mood and also if my partner is great in bed. So it can be as little as once a week or all day, (Everyday). But unfortunately I am not in a relationship at this time.

OutAroad.com:
Does the size of a man d*ck matters to you?

D’Angel:
It’s not about the size because there are some guys who are properly equipped with the right size but don’t know how to used it, so at the end of the day it’s not about the size of the gun but how effective the bullet hits the spot.

Rihanna was too sexy for Africa Unite show held at James Bond Beach St. Mary.

Virgo Don is one of the brightest and most creative new artist in the Dancehall arena today He was born in Birmingham, England. His family migrated back to Jamaica when he was still a toddler where he lived for a little while before migrating back to England. While Virgo Don is not yet established on the local music scene this super talented deejay has been very busy performing on many events both locally and abroad.

He has performed locally on events such as Pepsi Teen Splash, Old Harbour Star Jam and Mountain Dew Stunt Fest. He has also performed abroad in countries such as the USA, the UK, France, Germany, Spain (including the Balearics), Italy, Switzerland, Gambia and Senegal.

So far he is very pleased with the results and will be releasing two singles very soon "Please Credit Me" and "Fi Wi Place", on his Lyrical Sultan label. Virgo Don says he is very confident that his name will soon be on the lips of every Jamaican as soon as these two tunes hit the airwaves.

Music icon Buju Banton's Inna Heights 10th Anniversary Edition is even better the second time around! The follow up to Banton's classic 'Til Shiloh album, Inna Heights, originally released in 1997, furthered the artist's exploration of roots Reggae with such spiritually enriching tunes as "Destiny," "Hills & Valleys," "Give I Strength" "Love Sponge" and "Close One Yesterday."

The digitally remastered Inna Heights 10th Anniversary Edition boasts 3 previously unreleased tracks from the time period: "Bad Boy", "Politics Time Again" and "Situations" featuring Morgan Heritage. The 2 disc deluxe package also includes a bonus DVD containing 40 minutes of rare live footage from Reggae Sumfest, circa 1996.

WHAT THE PRESS IS SAYING:

"Whether crooning bible verses on 'Destiny' or rattling a cappella about social inequality ('Circumstances'), he doesn't so much vocalize as emote, radiating intensity with every syllable...This reissue features and a live-performance DVD showcasing Buju in his element: onstage in Jamaica, exhorting and electrifying." -- Blender Magazine

What more is there to be said about a production company that takes pride in getting paid so much so that a simple merger of two words becomes their titled moniker.
That was the vision Austin Yolando Green otherwise known as Kevin had for his Productions Label when he started it almost 2 years ago back in the summer of 2006 and till this day still believes strongly in its underline meaning.

The proud owner of PAYDAY MUSIC PRODUCTIONS Kevin is no stranger to the local Dancehall fraternity having been in the industry as a Producer / Engineer since 1998 when he started mixing tracks at Gargamel Records for the masterful DJ Buju Banton.

As a producer he has worked with some of the biggest local artists in the business including Bounty Killer, Mavado, Busy Signal, Bugle and Sizzla not to mention Beres Hammond. As for album projects he's done mixes for Buju on both "Too Bad" and "Magic City" and is currently taking on the task of fine tuning a few singles for Bounty Killer's upcoming album Extra Bullet.

A savvy entrepreneur Kevin spent sometime with OutAroad.com in this Q&A session to discuss the future of PayDay.

OutAroad.com:
What made you decide to start a Music Production Label?

Kevin:
Well I always wanted to be my own boss, I'm a very creative person who likes to use my energy, I don't like to wait on other people to sign off on or promote my thing. I like to manifest my own ideas without asking questions.

When Rihanna graced the stage at the Smile Jamaica-Africa Unite concert at James Bond Beach, St. Mary it was approximately 2:10 a.m. Sunday morning. Dressed in short colorful dress, laced with various beads, and golden frills attached around the edge, she was a remarkable sight - especially the dresses hugging breast cups.

However, it was not her attire or her sparkling performance that garnered the attention of the patrons. Rihanna was accompanied by R&B artiste Chris Brown, and the two immediately stole the spotlight at the Africa Unite Concert, which was staged in celebration of Bob Marley When the ‘good girl gone bad’ (Rihanna) entered the venue and was spotted by her adoring fans, it was like a pandemonium, which grew when they were made aware of the fact that Chris Brown was there with her. The backstage area, which was reserved for VIP guests, was flocked as soon as word of Chris Brown’s presence was made public.

Rumours have been circulating in recent weeks that the two are an item. These rumours were recently fuelled by their appearance in Barbados a few weeks ago, and one can now speculate that the sparks are going to be flying after their appearance together in Jamaica.

Look out for OutAroad.com continued review of the concert.

“It's really nice being back on air, because when your job is your hobby and your hobby is your job then you will miss it a lot,” ZJ Liquid outlined to OutAroad.com after being cleared to once again ‘liquefy the airwaves’.

The blazing hot radio disc jock is now back on air after he was slapped with a two-week suspension for accidentally playing a song that was not fit for airplay. According to reports, Liquid received a letter from the Broadcasting Commission last year November stating that he had played a song with expletives and sexually explicit content. After reviewing the situation, Liquid was given a two-week suspension in early February 2008.

“I just want to say that no one is perfect and I will continue to play with the vibes and energy that the listeners love to hear," a beaming Liquid outlined.

The bad gal of dancehall Spice having conquered the local scene will now be turning her attention on the European front where she will be on a one month tour with Cham and Pinchers.

With her biting lyrics and lethal performance Spice has really endeared herself to the dancehall massive.

Her quick wittiness and charming personality ensures she is a favourite with the massive.

But of course all this is not news to her many fans on the European side and certainly not to the man who discovered how sharp she could be on stage when he toured in 2002 with her in England. Baby Cham could not believe the DJ who was without a hit song at the time could mash up the show like a pro!

Now with some strong ammunition on her catalogue of songs including 'Up Inna Di Light' on the Gear Box rhythm which is rapidly climbing its way up on the Hype TV Top 20 Charts. The song is now sitting in the #8 position and seems to climb even higher.

"A lot of them applaud the artiste for his relentless effort, creativity, original sound and yaad vibe".

Junior Reid is known in the Industry as one out of many Reggae artiste who has for years single handedly distribute his music across the globe before becoming a popular figure in the International market, a trait that is similar to that of TAFARI a loner, who has withstand all negative criticism and kept his focus on his goal.

The sultry soul singer John Legend has been added to the star packed line up for the Smile Jamaica-Africa Unite concert on Saturday February 23 at James Bond Beach.

His follow up album spawned the chart topper Stay with You, a favourite of Jamaicans, Legend will have audiences singing along.

John Legend grew up in Ohio, surrounded by every musical influence from gospel to hip-hop. While attending university Legend found time to make his own music, whether it was recording his own albums, performing at talent shows and open mics, or directing the choir at a local church. In 1998, John got his first taste of success, playing piano on Everything is Everything off Lauryn's Hill's multiple-Grammy winning album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. In 2001, a college roommate introduced John to the then up-and-coming producer/artiste Kanye West. By 2002, Legend was part of West's creative team, appearing on albums by Talib Kweli, Common, Aleica Keys, Mary J Blige and on West's 2004 breakthrough The College Dropout.

Kingston Jamaica: This mix tape is so good; Kingston 6 Rekords may just have to host an album-style launch for it.

G Maffiah’s mix tape is already creating a buzz in the streets of Jamaica. Released first in France and Germany by DJ Weedim from Straight Up sound, the mix tape ignited the dancehall community with G Maffiah’s sick flows and crisp quick-tongue verses.

“I got the link to DJ Weedim and Bus Eye through Bonez, that is Panther’s son, and I got together my songs, choosing tracks that represent the essence of who G Maffiah is, my autobiographical experiences, my philosophies on how to survive in a hostile environment, and how to navigate life, and the feedback has been incredible, especially on my Myspace page,” he said.

The mix tape’s success inspired Kingston 6 head honchos Akil “Akiliboy” Smith and Lorenzo “Akono” Lewis to authorize the reproduction of almost 50,000 mix tapes for distribution in Jamaica. Free!!!!! Digital download of the mix tape is also available @ www.kingston6.com
