Chris and his mother talk about what took place between him and his then lover Rihanna -- Chris also said he was frighten when he saw the police report of the Rihanna assault.

Dear Mr. Proppa fix,

I met a girl I like in high school while I was still in Jamaica when we were teenagers. I could not come and visit her for a couple years, but I haven't stopped sending her money through western union. She told me that she’s being faithful to me and everything but once I called her on the phone one night and she answered and said "yes" "yes" "yesss" then she threw down the cell phone on the bed and thought it was turned off. All I heard was dirty talks along with sexual sounds it sounded like busy signals song "mi nah answa" in there.

I don't know what to do she takes all my plane fare why I cannot come and visit her. I can't say I’m mad -- but she is my complete equal in every way but it wasn't suppose to be like this my father had told me once that she was the one for me and I knew it the very moment our eyes meet. I even gotten into physical fistfights over her with my friends and loved it because it we were fighting for her loving eyes. I don't know what to do should I continue with this relationship I have waited a long time for her hand in marriage and need her in my life in my country.
-JR
-----------------------------------------------------

Dear JR,

From the tone of your letter, I can tell that you are truly in love with this girl, but on the other hand, you are far from reality.

You need to get a grip of yourself, as this girl is only using you…This is not high school days anymore, brother I know it's hard for you to believe, but she has moved on. If you really want to know, what kind of person she is then stop sending her money for a while and sees what happens.

Even though your dad gave you the thumbs-up about this girl that doesn't means he's right…from the moment you called her and she answered "yes, yes, yesss" in that aggressive tone along with the sexual sounds you heard - that's a clear indication that things are not the same anymore.

My brother "nuh put nuh woman pon yuh head."

While in Madrid, Usain Bolt would like you to know that he has switched his allegiance from Manchester United to Real Madrid, that he can outrun Cristiano Ronaldo even with a ball on his foot and he'll be checking out what the fuss over bull fighting is about.

Oh, and one other thing from the world's fastest man.

He can beat 9.58 in the 100 and 19.19 in the 200.

"I think I can go faster, but I leave that up to my coach," Bolt said Sunday. "We analyze each race. We try to go through the season without risking getting injured. We see what we can do to go further and achieve great things in sport."

NEW YORK, NY (RHONA FOX, INC.) - Reggae sensation Ras Penco has enjoyed a tremendous run this year, first hitting number one in Jamaica with his single "Thousand Miles," and will cap off the summer on an even higher note with exciting performances, a new hit single in hand and a video shoot in the works.

The culture crooner is preparing to return for his second bout at New York's reggae summer staple Irie Jamboree, put on by Irie Jam Radio 93.5 FM in the New York Tri-State region, on Sunday, September 6.

"It feels good to return to Irie Jamboree because I'm coming back on a different level," reveals the young star. "More people are familiar with my single now and know who Ras Penco is. It's going to be good to come to New York and perform for all the people who will come out for the big Labor Day celebration."

Several of Buju Banton's concerts have been canceled after the promoters came under pressure from the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center.

AEG Live/Goldenvoice the brainchild behind the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival was also forced to cancel his concerts that featured the Banton. The other shows that Buju was expected perform on are the House of Blues venues in Chicago (Oct. 2), Las Vegas (Oct. 15), Dallas (Oct. 20) and Houston (Oct. 22).

The problem started in 1992 when Buju Banton recorded a song titled Boom Bye Bye, which instantly became a hit amongst dancehall lovers around the world, until several gay and lesbian groups discovered the meaning of the slang Boom Bye Bye.

Rotting marijuana that Michael Jackson's family members mistook for heroin briefly caused detectives to look for further evidence of the illegal drug in the pop star's rented residence during the frenzied 48 hours after his death, according to sources close to the investigation.

Family members told coroner's officials that they found "tar heroin" in the Holmby Hills home's master bedroom. Only Jackson and his children had access to the room, according to court records unsealed Thursday. The discovery prompted authorities to obtain a search warrant for Jackson's house for heroin, hypodermic needles, cutting agents, scales, balloons, condoms, razor blades, buyer lists, and seller lists, among other items, documents show.

But within days, police had ruled out heroin as a factor in the singer's death, sources close to the investigation said. Lab tests showed that the purported heroin was actually moldy marijuana, sources said. And, according to court records, a lengthy police interview with Jackson's personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, placed another drug, the powerful anesthetic propofol, at the center of the investigation.

Top dancehall deejay Busy Signal can officially claim Europe as his own. Busy Signal recently returned from a two week tour where he gave performances in Sweden, Germany, Norway and Italy. Busy Signal was definitely a welcomed Jamaican act, based on the you tube hits and online posts of his performances almost immediately after each show, and the shocking colour graffiti signage bearing his name on the walls surrounding various cities.

The Uppsala festival in Sweden could be considered the highpoint of his trip to Europe - after giving an hour-long performance to the large crowd, it was clear that they could not get enough of the busy one - who returned to the stage to give an additional half hour.

Busy performed hit after hit including the hugely popular "One More Night" which had the ladies swooning, and the heart pounding hit, "Up in her Belly" and of course "Da style Deh".

Singjay Mr. Vegas will be one of the headliners at urban radio station HOT97's "On Da Reggae Tip" show on Friday September 4th at the Hammerstein Ballroom in Manhattan, New York.

The singjay's monster hit song, I Am Blessed, on the Liv Up Records imprint has been bombing the airwaves into submission in the United States over the Summer alongside other big songs on the same riddim
from fellow entertainers Vybz Kartel, Mavado and Serani.

"I am going to make a statement at the HOT 97 show, my single I Am Blessed is in heavy rotation on HOT 97 and other urban stations along the east coast so my fans are looking forward to the performance, and
I am going to give them a high energy set," Mr. Vegas, who just completed a highly successful European tour, said.

2008 winner of the MOBO Award for Best Reggae Act, Gully God Mavado, has once again been nominated for this year's award, reflecting his continued output of quality music and his dominance of the international market. 2009 has been another excellent year for Mavado, touring the world and appearing on the big stage many times over.

Also nominated is Alliance colleague Serani, who has made huge strides on the international scene in the past year with his breakout hit No Games. His nomination is a great achievement for such a new act and illustrates the Alliance's winning formula for international success.

Other nominees are conscious-music flag flier Taurus Riley, past winner Sean Paul and Vybz Kartel, who had his nomination withdrawn in the past for homophobic lyrics.

The Mobo nominations were announced in London last night and the ceremony itself will be held outside London for the first time, taking place in Glasgow, Scotland on September 30.

A slew of top reggae/dancehall artistes have been confirmed for Philly Summer Fest, to be held on September 7 at the Wall Street Courtyard in Philadelphia, USA.

Staged by the sizzling hot deejay, the King of Flossing, Flippa Mafia, in association with Flip Money Records, Summer Fest is the show to close the summer in fine, floss-as-you-never-flossed-before style.

"It's all about Summer Fest. We have the place locked and it will be pure fun and flossing," Flippa Mafia promised.
He added with a smile, "Don't watch the song-for-song thing with me and Ele. It's all about music and musical vibes. Elephant Man is scheduled to perform on Summer Fest and nothing has changed.”

Among the artistes on the lineup are Beenie Man, Elephant Man, Lady Saw, Assassin, Tony Matterhorn, Ding Dong and Flippa himself.

Kerrie Baylis, 20, who was crowned Miss Jamaica World 2009 in Saturday night's pageant stands 5'10" tall and weighs 120lbs with the vital statistics: 32-24-35. She is set to represent Jamaica at the Miss World 2009 competition in December in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Man Informa is the counteraction for Flippa's song tilted Talk Di Truth, which is also on the same riddim (Unstoppable).

Veronica Campbell has come forth to defend her reason for not running on the winning 4x100m relay team yesterday(August 22, 09) at the World Championships held in Berlin.

Veronica Campbell said that the staff and management team was unprofessional for requesting her to run the third leg couple of hours before the race. According to Veronica, it was impossible for her to run the third leg because that was not what she had practiced for.

The double Olympic 200 metres champion Veronica also mentioned that she would never turn her back on her country because whenever she attends or representing for Jamaica at these games her aim is to get the National anthem hammering through the speakers around the stadium.

According to a source from the Jamaican camp, "she made the right move because if she had ran the leg and did not pull through for Jamaica then everyone would also be blaming her for being selfish to run the third leg especially the fact that her toe was wrapped in Kinesio-tape because of a toe injury.

The source also added that this is not the time to be pointing fingers at anyone because even though she did not run - the other girls still went out there and represent for Jamaica, which shows there are multiple talents in the camp and if one person is sick then they should not be afraid to replace that person but make sure it's done way before the required time.

Jamaica's 200m silver medalist Veronica Campbell-Brown refused to help her country to capture the gold medal in 4x100m final in Berlin earlier today (August 22, 2009). Her decision could have denied Jamaica from taking home the gold medal in the 4x100m relay but things turned out to be in Jamaica's favor as Simone Facey, Shelly-Ann Fraser, Aleen Bailey and Kerron Stewart went ahead to win gold clocking 42.06 ahead of Bahamas (42.29).

Information reaching OutAroad.com is that Veronica had wanted to run the anchor leg but was denied of such wish by the coaching staff. The coach's decision then triggered her to walk off the field.

Multi-talented Alliance member Serani has scored his second successive Billboard hit with "She Loves Me," the second single from his upcoming album.

Debuting this week at number 82 on the Billboard Hot Hip Hop/R&B Chart, She Loves Me is in heavy rotation on the station that breaks Dancehall records in the US - New York's HOT 97, as well as at other urban and crossover formats across the country as it begins to pick up speed.

"Its a great time for Jamaica right now," said Serani. "Our athletes are on top the world and we're continuing to make huge strides like Usain with our music! 2009 has been a great year for me and for Jamaican music, now I am just readying up to drop the album and try to move some units!"

Mavado's quest for global domination is currently rolling through Japan, for his first-ever appearance in the Far East. After a phenomenal year that has seen him tour the UK, Europe, the Caribbean and the US, as well as appearing on BET's Rip the Runway and HOT 97's SUMMER JAM amongst a long list of accomplishments, Mavado's astonishing 4 year reign at the pinnacle of Dancehall shows no sign of easing. Just like the medal-winning athletes in Berlin, Mavado is carrying the flag for Jamaica globally.

After spending the day doing Japanese press, the 2009 Reggae Breeze Tour got off to a good start at Club Cita in Kawasaki last night as Mavado thrilled the audience with his catalogue of hits. An energy-packed show left everyone in attendance grinning from ear to ear as Mavado was called back for several encores. During his performance Mavado introduced Gully Squad members Flexxx and Chase Cross who both received a rapturous welcome from the Japanese crowd.

The tour moves on to Nagoya for a beach festival Saturday night, before moving on to the Kyushu Music Festival on Sunday.

The Sassa Step/Man ah Gallis video shoot has been postponed until next week Tuesday, August 25th. The dancers have been using the extra time to rehearse the choreographed moves for both videos. The video is being directed by celebrated video director Jason 'Jay Will' Williams who has hired two choreographers, one for each video.

"Jay Will is going to make a statement with this dance video because this is the first video he is doing since Wacky Dip and he is pulling out all the stops. I have been to some of the rehearsals and I can tell you that this video is going revolutionize how dance videos are done," one source said.

In the meantime, Shy N, the 2007 Dancehall King for Japan who won the Internet Sassa Step contest to appear in the video, has been popping up at Kingston's infamous dance sessions, learning new moves and finally experiencing some of the great vibes he'd only experienced before on dance DVDs.

"I am having good time, going to the sessions like Boasty Tuesday, Weddy Weddy, Passa Passa and finally seeing some of the places where the sessions keep for myself and not just on DVD, you know," Shy N said.

Most Internet voters will remember that Shy N, who hails from Japan, had compiled a pretty nifty video on youtube where he demonstrated the Sassa Step on a sidewalk which ran parallel to a graffiti-decorated wall, and incorporated his routine with break-dancing as well. He is expected to play a prominent role in the Sassa Step segment of the video.

Beloved reggae singer Half Pint demonstrated once again that he is one of the most enduring singers of all time in Reggae music. This he did as he blazed on the just concluded Blaze & Confused Tour recently.

Slightly Stoopid, Snoop Dogg and Stephen Marley also delivered entertaining sets.

Half Pint who performed with Slightly Stoopid could do no wrong. He entertained an appreciative audience who welcomed him when he was introduced by Slightly Stoopid's guitarist/vocalist, Miles.

Pint entered the stage with his up tempo reggae song "Level the Vibes." He received a thunderous applause as he danced and pranced to the music played by the Reggae rockers Slightly Stoopid. The band not only showed their versatility in playing Reggae music but also their love for the genre. "Freedom Fighter" with a rugged baseline struck a chord with the audience, when Pint sang the lines "To all my brothers in America and all my sisters in a Canada, we want freedom on the African border."

"Greetings" brought the house down as the members of Slightly Stoopid rocked the stage. This inflamed the audience as Pint took control and had them singing with him word for word.

Usain Bolt the fastest man on earth has forced American legend Michael Johnson's statement back down his throat after he stated that "Usain Bolt will not break his 200 metres world record later on Thursday (Today), he told Pirate Irwin (AFP).

Bolt who has already set a world record earlier this week in the 100 metres final added one record to his tally after he made a magnificent run to win gold in the 200 metres at the World Athletics Championship in a world record time of 19.19 seconds.

Johnson told AFP, "His exertions this week have taken a lot out of him," said Johnson, whose 200m world record was broken by Bolt in Beijing last year in the Olympic final when the Jamaican ran 19.30sec.

"He's also been very busy and he looks tired. It is certainly less possible than it was a few nights ago. Also he has said that his training this year hasn't been as good as last year."

Well Johnson you were wrong - "Usain Bolt To Di World"

New York, NY (Ms. RAINE INC): Mouthing "Gaza Mi Seh" to television cameras during his usual pre-race antics, Olympic gold medalist and world record holder Usain Bolt hailed his favorite Dancehall deejay moments before shattering another 100-meter world record in Berlin on Sunday. Today, ace lyricist and leader of the 'Gaza'-based Portmore Empire Vybz Kartel celebrates Bolt's victory with "Lightening Bolt' a clever tribute to Bolt's outstanding world championship triumph--crossing the finish line in a startling 9.58 seconds.

Tyson Gay seems to be embarrassed after he was beaten by Jamaican lightening Usain Bolt in the 100 metres final in Berlin on Sunday (August 16, 2009). Bolt clocked 9.58s to set a new world record while Tyson Gay came in second at 9.71s.

The world was anticipating a rematch between the two rivalries, however that will not happen as Tyson Gay backed out of the 200 metres complaining of a groin injury.

According to Tyson Gay's camp, he has been bothered by a groin injury in recent weeks, which now leaves experts and fans saying it's amazing that he ran 9.71s while suffering from a groin injury.

Question: Is Tyson Gay afraid of being beaten by Bolt in the 200 metres why he complains of a groin injury?

Does Rihanna want her face time with Chris Brown to be a little less coincidental?

The pop star's attorney tells E! News that his client is looking to do away with the order of protection that's been in place since Brown copped to beating on Rihanna in February, which requires the "Run It" singer to stay at least 50 yards away from his ex-girlfriend.

The court allowed some leeway in case the duo were both in attendance at a music industry event, meaning Brown wouldn't be hauled off to the clink if he and Rihanna happened to rub elbows at the Grammys.

But whether she wanted this all along or was moved by Brown's videotaped mea culpa (and the promise of yet another apology on Larry King Live Wednesday night), Rihanna, who declined the court's offer of a restraining order back in March, feels that a level-one protection order will be sufficient from now on.

Following his awesome performances at Reggae Sumfest and A St Mary Mi Come From, Flossing King Flippa Mafia made it three in a row as he rocked the massives at Champions In Action early Sunday morning and left them wanting more.

It was a performance worthy of a King as Flippa demonstrated why he is considered dancehall royalty. In a no-nonsense mood, the jovial entertainer swaggered on stage and got down to the real business of entertaining his ever-growing throng of fans. He was there to give - musically and otherwise - and they were more than eager to receive.

Known for his on-stage antics which earned him the moniker King of Flossing, Flippa went through his repertoire of dancehall hits, including his number one song, Unfinished House. "Mi vehicle cyan dearer than mi house, nor mi rims cyan dearer than mi couch," he deejayed the first line of the song and his fans totally took over.

Shelly-Ann Fraser Wins Gold For Jamaica - Kerron Stewart (Silver) - Berlin 2009 Women 100 metres Final IAAF World Championship

OutAroad.com has decided to remove two stories from the website titled Vybz Kartel & Beenie Man Got Booed Pon Di Gaza? - Champions in Action and Boos Were Aimed At Beenie Man While Performing With Kartel because of the difference in reports we have received from various contributors that are aligned with Gully and Gaza. OutAroad.com does not wish to be classed as a Gaza or Gully website like many others. Let us now turn our attention on the many records that our Track Field stars are creating in Berlin.

When Bolt created history last year in Beijing, commenters flooded the board with comments. However, this time around there are barely any comments.

OutAroad.com wishes to use this moment to say sorry for the confusion - it's time for all the Gully and Gaza fans to unite and celebrate the victory of our track and field stars.

Track & Field over Gully and Gaza...A dat mi seh

Below are videos of Usain Bolt record breaking race and Shelly-Ann Fraser sprinting to victory in the Women 100 metres final.

House Of Diggy recording artist Oje Ken Ollivierre aka Protoje recently returned from a promotional trip of England. The talented artist who can easily be listed as one of the break out artists of 2009, did several radio interviews while in England and performed along with his mother Lorna Bennett at the recently held Lovers Rock Awards Gala. Since the release of his debut single Arguments a few months ago Protoje has been making quite a name for himself, having peaked at the number ten position on the RETV top 20 Reggae singles chart with Arguments. Its accompanying music video topped the RETV MVP chart for five consecutive weeks and the TVJ FI WI Choice Top Ten Video chart for eight consecutive weeks. He has also delivered show stopping performances at events such as Jus Jugglin & Jamnesia.

Since his return to the island almost a week ago Protoje has been very busy as he continues to work on his soon to be released album, The Seven Year Itch. He has also dropped his second single from the album titled Wrong Side Of The Law. In this song Protoje challenges the validity of Jamaica's law books, as it pertains to marijuana. The song was inspired by an experience Protoje and his friend Dutty Bookman (formerly of News Talk 93 FM) had been through, while on their way home from a late night studio session. Hence their decision to collaborate and pen the song.

Sells Off Annual Extravaganza & Performs With John Legend On Main Stage

Jamaican music icon, Buju Banton, once again rocked the WaMu Theater at Madison Square Garden for his 3rd annual Buju Banton & Friends Caribbean Extravaganza on August 7th. Produced by veteran radio personality Dahved Levy's Devonish Promotions, this year's blockbuster event featured guest appearances by Reggae great Burning Spear, dancehall legend Shabba Ranks, lioness on the rise Queen Ifrica, Heritage siblings Gramps & Peter Morgan and the legendary Tony Rebel.

Fresh from touring Europe and the UK for two months, Banton and his Shiloh Band -- complete with two keyboard players and two bass players -- were in superb form. Buju delivered a flawless double set that spanned the breadth of his vast, hit-filled catalog, and included a well-received live debut of the song "Optimistic Soul" from his critically acclaimed new album Rasta Got Soul, plus a rousing Reggae rendition of Michael Jackson's classic "Heal The World."

Last Thursday night, Buju aka Gargamel, graduated to the world famous main stage at Madison Square Garden, where he performed with R&B superstar John Legend to a sold out crowd of 20,000 concert-goers who raised the roof in pandemonium when Legend announced his special surprise guest!

Between last week and this week, there have been a lot of musically feuds that started from Queen Ifrica's Mek Mi Grow to Bounty Killer's Chatter Box which is lyrically aimed at Vybz Kartel. With all that is said and done the Teacha has finally hit back at Bounty Killer counteracting his song Chatter Box with a single titled Bownty's Killa.

"NotNice di p*ssy duh three songs but mi aguh kill it with one," said Vybz Kartel in a jovial tone.

Vybz Kartel also boasts…"kick mi kick dung Ninja Man but yuh run when Lenard seh Howdy! Before delivering some scorching lyrics in the first verse, which teased Bounty Killer about his oral abilities'.

How yu fi say yu nuh waan gal weh freaky?

August 14, 2009 OutARoad Weekly Top Ten Reggae Singles

Negril was totally transformed into the party capital of the world, over the past weekend(August 5-9, 2009). The eastern city saw droves of party enthusiasts, either supporting their ATI or Dream Weekend events, utilising almost a seven-mile strip, at will to soak sun, sand, sea, liquor and music... The veteran weekend pulled out large numbers of partygoers, which saw patrons entering venues as early as 2pm and leaving as late as 5AM. Even though the weekend had Seven Top Events, our team only made it to five, two of which we had received what is known as the "The Experience".

After battling hours of bumper-to-bumper traffic back and forth, it was worth the frustration as Colours and Stages delivered. These two parties can definitely be dubbed as the weekend's best. Colours - with its difference in musical styling, and authentic beach feel, as well as Stages, an event which surpassed all levels of expectation, in terms of decor, physical settings, and numerous VIPs, upper level DJ VIP Area, Bar on the water, internal club with its own DJ, tremendous dance spaces and numerous bars and booths - not to mention one of the best DJ line ups for the weekend.

Which brings us to "The Experience"- what was it? (Dj Karyzma & Kruddy)... they blew all the patrons and us over the ATI weekend into another dimension. They absolutely took the weekend and their respective events by storm while juggling alongside much respected DJ's such as Kurt Riley, Renaissance, Tony Matterhorn and Black Chiney to name a few.

Bounty Killer is once again trodding the road of his War Lord ways as he lyrically disses Vybz Kartel in his latest single tilted Chatter Box.

The Killer also chanted that Vybz Kartel is pedophile and a lover of being freaky.

"Mi a listen to yuh song dem and a pree yuh style,
seh yuh a lodge and yuh wicked and yuh evil vile,
f**k pon di school bus yuh really tell di likkle child.
Next thing two spot a blood pon har frock,
tell me which big woman mother beat har fi dat,
yuh seh yuh a f**k gal when dem parents a watch,
so tell mi if a big people speech dat

Serani, who's current "She Loves Me" single is enjoying heavy rotation on HOT 97 and other stations, will appear on "Good Day New York" show which reaches an audience of over 10 million people.

"Doing TV shows like this is very important to my own development as an artist, as well as raising the profile of Dancehall in the mainstream," says Serani. "Its pretty rare for a Dancehall act to appear on this type of show so I'm very proud and I intend to represent Jamaica to the fullest."

Serani, who shot to crossover attention with his smash hit "No Games," is putting the finishing touches to his album which is now slated for an early November release.

Multi-platinum singer/rapper/musician/producer Wyclef Jean has now been confirmed for this Saturday's Champions in Action stage show, to be staged at Jamworld in Portmore.

"Wyclef was officially confirmed last night," said a Presidential Click spokesperson. "He sent an ad to us which we have rushed to radio already to let the people now its on and popping! Champions in Action is aiming high and we want to deliver the best product to our patrons. We have built the Champions brand into what it is with a lot of hard work and investment over the years and we always give back to the community. This represents another step up the ladder."

Wyclef will add a foreign flava to the prestigious line-up of Jamaican musical icons that include Bounty Killer, Beenie Man, Mavado, Vybz Kartel, Capleton, Sizzla, Elephant Man, Queen Ifrica, Anthony B and much more. The gate price remains at just $1000 for general and $1500 VIP. Proceeds go towards the annual West Kingston back-to-school treat. Clef has done a lot of work with Dancehall act including Bounty Killer, Beenie Man, Elephant Man and Mavado.

English based reggae artist Eric Hamilton AKA Tall Rich who hails from the parish of St. Thomas, has been steadily carving niche for himself on the UK reggae scene, since moving to live in Bristol, England a few years ago. He has made quite a reputation for himself as a good reggae singer, especially in Bristol as result of the hard work he puts into his career. He leaves nothing to chance therefore he is always busy rehearsing and writing new songs. The quality of his recordings is a testimony to his dedication to the perfection of his craft.

The lanky Rastafarian who hails from the parish of St. Thomas has made his presence felt on the British reggae scene in a serious way with hit singles such as Credit Crunch & What’s Going On, both songs have made it to the number one spot on the UJIMA 98 FM reggae chart in Bristol and have also registered on several other reggae charts in England. Tall Rich has also delivered crowd pleasing performances on several major events across England, sharing stage with the likes of Maxi Priest, Freddie McGregor, Sly & Robbie, Cherine Anderson & Chino.

Tall Rich is currently busy in the studios recording songs for several English based production houses such as Star Gate Productions, Imperial, Homegrown and Dada Ras Productions. He also plans to drop his debut album early next year. When the album is released Tall Rich plans to visit Jamaica to promote his album at home and perform on some of the major local reggae shows. His next live appearance will be at the Newport Carnival, in Wales on the 31st of August.

Dear Sir/Madam Editor,

I am hoping that you won't be bias by not publishing this letter. I am not a fan of Vybz Kartel but I am going to admit that I do dance to his songs when I am under the influence of alcohol. However, I am an avid fan of Queen Ifrica but I am going to disagree with her lyrics in Mek Mi Grow. Even though she might not have said Kartel's name in the song, but only a stupid person would not realise that it was geared at his song and lyrical construction "Virginity". Because the young man is only expressing his opinion then it's up to us the viewers or listeners to know what to digest or vomit out, in terms of good and bad.

Anyways, I am going to get to the point and expose the hypocrite that Queen Ifrica and many more of her fake friends are. I can remember dancing and singing to her then hit single "Below Di Waist" yes, that was sang by our same overnight virtuous woman Queen Ifrica who was sexually expressing that even if she's in an argument with her spouse "shi still affi get di thing below di waist". What is below the waist???

In Vybz Kartel's song he sang that he took her virginity, the lines, which came after, did not state that the girl got pregnant. However, in Queen Ifrica's Below Di Waist these are her exact words below.
"You know mi nah guh knock yuh dung baby,
no mi just waan hold yuh dung baby,
him seh gwaan guh put on yuh thong baby
and before you know it is another baby..

I guess the issue of unprotected sexual intercourse can be a cause for concern, if we were gonna get all "morally inclined" - or the simple fact that …she a go "hold him down" that might insight rape? Depending on who is holding down!!!! Therefore, we need to stop taking straws from people's eyes… when our very own eyes have rafter…

Leonie,
New York

Dancehall artiste/producer Alley Cat’s new MIX CD will be released this Friday, August 14, in Germany. The MIX CD was compiled by Upliftment International Sound out of Liepezeek in Germany, a sound system that, Alley Cat has been working with over the years.

The compilation is laced with hit songs from the 90s, along with songs from his Imperial Level album (released 2003), and songs from his current "Dancehall Knowledge-Vol. 1" album. The idea of releasing the mix CD is the thought of Upliftment and Germaica Records as they saw where it would be benefiting for all parties involved especially the fact that Alley Catsongs are well appreciated by the growing dancehall market.

Alley Cat is now waiting for the Mix CD along with his album Dancehall Knowledge to be circulated in the major cities and towns of Germany before he embarks on his European tour.

As the smoke clears, from the ATI & Dream Weekend in Negril, the focus move to this Saturday's staging of Champions in Action at Jamworld in Portmore. With a line-up that many are lauding as better than Sumfest, the inclusion of Sizzla, Capleton, Anthony B and others is a calculated move on behalf of the promoters.

"Our show is not just about who's hot and who's hype" said the Presidential Click spokesperson. "Champions in Action is a showcase of the best in Dancehall and Reggae talent over the years so we've included artists that have proved they can deliver a catalogue of hits for the patrons."

A lot of anticipation is also surrounding Bounty Killer's appearance, after his show-stealing performance at Sumfest. His musical son, Dancehall's superstar international flag-bearer Mavado, is sure to repeat his fiery set at last year's Champions in Action. The Doctor Beenie Man is a perennial crowd favourite and will have the crowd unmoved until he closes the show. Local high-riding DJ Vybz Kartel's legion of fans will have the opportunity to catch him live at Jamworld and he is sure to deliver. With the likes of Elephant Man, Etana, Assassin, I-Wayne, Queen Ifrika, Andrew & Wada Blood and much more also on the bill, Champions in Action is perhaps the most complete stage show of recent times.

As usual, a chunk of the proceeds will go towards the West Kingston Back-To-School Treat, for the children of the inner-city communities in that region, regardless of political persuasion, another positive reason to support this historic event. All this for just $1000!

After twenty years of entertaining patrons, the Renaissance Disco will celebrate in fine style this Saturday August 15 at the Palisadoes Go Kart Track in Kingston.

The event will see the Renaissance Disco's full roster of talented selectors, throwing down some of the hottest joints of yesterday and today. Joining the already impressive lineup, will be guest selectors from various sound systems, and specially invited entertainers and entertainment personalities.

Delano Thomas, frontman and spokesperson for Renaissance Disco, outlined that the 20th anniversary party will special for both patrons and members of the Renaissance outfit. 'We are going all out to ensure that this party will be the best, because its very personal and we want people to enjoy themselves, feel the vibes and appreciate the love'.

It was last Thursday morning August 6th 2009 when the King of Flossing, Flippa Mafia hit the stage at St Mary Mi Come From to perform for a crowd that was eager for him.

Flippa was called on stage by fast-rising deejay, Assassin, who had the crowd hyped up with a great performance. He announced Flippa, and St Mary erupted when the slim built, always smiling entertainer ran on stage. Flippa took the musical baton from Assassin and surged forward with a performance that really announced his arrival. It wasn't about the champagne-popping, because there was none and it was only after he received his well deserved forwards that he sprinkled a few $500 bills into the crowd.

But, honestly, his performance was all about his songs and his ability to engage his fans. With the ever popular Unfinished House now sitting comfortably at the number one spot on Richie B's prestigious Jamaica Countdown Chart, it was easy to see why the single is in this coveted position. As the band struck up the riddim, the massives at Gray's Inn shouted their approval with screams, lighters, by blowing horns, dancing and singing the words of the song.

Bonner Cornerstone Music recording artist Spanner Banner is very upbeat about his upcoming tour of the US West Coast. The tour which will also feature his brother Richie Spice, is scheduled to begin on the 27th of August and end on September 19th. The tour will see the two reggae stars making performing at various venues across the US West Coast such as the BMU auditorium in Chico, the Belly Up in San Diego, the Aruba Hotel in Las Vegas & the Dub Club in Los Angeles.

This will be Spanner Banner's first tour since releasing his latest album I'm A Winner in May. When contacted about the tour this is what he had to say. "I'm looking forward to getting back on the road and connecting with my fans old and new." "It's always a joy to be out there on the road spreading the word and the works to the people."

Spanner Banner has been making quite a comeback since the release of his album, with smashing singles such as Rolling Stones & I'm A Winner. Both songs are from the album and are receiving heavy rotation on radio stations locally and abroad. The music video for Rolling Stones is also enjoying good rotation on local television stations such as CVM TV, TVJ, HYPE TV, RETV, CVM Plus, NTV & Juice TV.

Dancehall artist Delly Ranx is now in the island after completing a seven week tour of Europe along with dancehall icon Buju Banton. Delly Ranx is looking forward to the release of his long awaited sophomore album Good Profile, which is being released by California based record label Itation Records. The album will feature eighteen tracks most of which are new songs except for a few songs such as Pleasure Pain, Murder, Wish Good, I'm Going Crazy and No Ice Cream Love featuring Johnny Osbourne, which were previously released as seven inch singles locally.

The album features production work not only from Itation Records in-house producers Matthew & Daniel but also from the likes of Buju Banton, Lloyd 'John John' James Jr., Mad Scientist, Jordan (Chimney Records), Quick Link Music & Delly Ranx himself. It was originally slated to be released in July but its release date was changed to mid September as Delly Ranx was away on tour and the company decided it would be best to release it when he is available to travel America promote the album. A tour of the US is also being planned as a part of the promotion for the album.

Portmore Empire's boss Vybz Kartel has responded to Queen Ifrica's lyrics in her latest single titled Mek Mi Grow in a statement that was sent to OutAroad.com by the Techa.

Lines in the song that got the Techa upset are "Yuh Caan Tek Mi Virginity" and "If it makes you feel good to sleep wid children in yuh rampin shop."

"They think they are the police force of morality when they're just hypocrites. If you Ifrica don't like my songs so what? The fans love it!!!!!!!! Queen Ifrica and others like her are all hypocrites and acting like they are paragons of virtue. When I create my art it is not for estranged fools posing as artiste to critique It is for my fans not for you Ifrica and guess what? The ladies love it bad bad and if yuh have a daughter I know she hides from her hypocrite mother and listens to it attentively.

Vybz Kartel also further stated that his virginity song is about he and his girl reminiscing about their teenage years.

"I couldn't take your virginity cause yuh" daddy first touch yuh there - "they wanna do songs and people should understand there perspective of the issue and ignore
everything else. But they don't offer the same to other artiste do whole a Dem badmind but Ifrica not puttin on portmore empire's pot.

Montego Bay is still buzzing from the incredible performance that the I Am Blessed artiste delivered at the UDC Old Hospital site on Independence Day August 6th 2009.

Mr. Vegas hit the stage at about 12:30 a.m. with his backing band, Thugz, and got an immediate ovation from the crowd with his number one hit, Taxi Fare. He then segued into the unapologetic Sucky Ducky, and another cheer went up from the crowd. He paused to speak to the audience a bit before doing Hands Up and the venue literally rocked as did Nike Air and Heads High back to back, the crowd cheering him on he turned up the tempo.

After revving up the audience to a high, Mr. Vegas changed pace and showed his versatility with the one-drop hit, Do You Know, which had lighters flickering quietly as he mesmerized them with his ice cube clear vocals.

Mr. Vegas then pumped up the adrenaline level in the venue with his dance segment, featuring some of the biggest dances to have emerged in dancehall in the past three years. Joined by his two female dancers, he immediately went into Tek Weh Yuself, and then Raging Bull. He then dropped his loner's anthem, Mi Nuh Waan No Friend From Dem with the crowd cheering his every move, before he closed strongly with his monster number one hit, I Am Blessed.

TINY IS NOT THAT CUTE

Tonight I caught up with BET's "Tiny & Toya"! For the most part, I'm enjoying the show. True, sometimes they are hard to understand when they speak. True, Toya needs to get over Wayne and doubly true Tiny is not that cute. But aside from that or maybe I'm just sentimental after watching Tiny say goodbye to T.I., "Tiny & Toya" are doing a good job at showing the world who they are and what's going on in their lives. Of course, that doesn't mean the world is going to like what they see. On the last few episodes Toya was been struggling with taking control of her life and getting back on the dating scene. Meanwhile, Tiny was preparing for T.I.'s departure and what the future will hold for her.

When it comes to Toya, I think she has a good heart, but she frustrates me. She told Tiny she was mad because a woman referred to her as Wayne's "baby mama" and said she just wanted to known for being herself. The problem is the only reason anyone knows who she is, is because she's Wayne's baby mama. Truth be told, I think she likes being linked to Wayne. She says she's not over him, but I think it has more to do with not wanting to let go of the fame and status. I hate that it's like she's only willing to date a man with a certain amount of money. I hope she has an ample amount of sessions booked with Dr. Ron because she needs it.

Demented one of the hottest upcoming producers known for his distinctive percussive style presents Arrhythmia, on his debut release featuring Vybz Kartel aka Addi di Teacha "How You Sexy So?" ….Kartel who has seen tremendous charted and awards success from 2008 into 2009, such as his Billboard hit single Ramping Shop in collaboration with Spice, Don't Run, Mind Pon Mi Money, Mama, With Out My Own, Get Wild, Million Dollar By A Morning and recently Completely and Virginity, has seemingly been dropping singles on every production, on the airwaves and underground, as new releases are out almost every week, rhyming on or about a wide range of varied topics, concepts and flows.

Kartel's 'Sexy So" enquires on the levels of a Gaza girl's sexiness, while he further states how much her 'whining and touches" which results in him having a strong hold on her. "Sexy So" is a fast paced pulsating track, which has again given lades another reason to gyrate and pulsate their "waist line". Sexy So is a commendable couple steps down from some of his recent explicit collaborations, such as with his high ridding protégé Lisa Hype and dancehall diva Spice, it does have some potential for future addictions, getting good rotations.

Demented although may seem to be a new name for most, he isn’t quite all that new, as he has laid down productions for Sizzla, Flex, Tosh, Nanko and Turbulance.

So ladies while you're partying, and the Dj or a guy you're really into or your significant other asks you "how you sexy so". What's the first thing that comes to mind? Hmmmm!! Maybe he is pre-empting you for this track.

Internationally renowned UK based ABood Jamdown Music, last night (August 5, 2009) played host to its members in the form of a customer appreciation Lyme, for its local based clientele. The event was held at the recently opened Jnr "One Blood" Reid's Roof Top & Bar on East Wood Park Rd. Such was the highly secretive yet intimate nature of the event, that upon the arrival of OutAroad.com and Pen2paper Creative Concepts, the well lit roof was graced with the "A" gamers and shakers of the entertainment Industry, from artistes, producers, publicists, engineers, disc jocks, artist managers, friends and family members.

The Lyme provided its recipients with an open bar experience, along with the provision of truly authentic Jamaican meals, which the chef earns kudos for a job well done. While the patrons were treated to a musical delight from Dj Passion who selected a fine selection of past, present and future hits. The night's vibe was excellent which had Junior Reid making several trips to the DJ's Turn-table in an attempt to spark his lighter, showing his approval for the selections, as well as showcasing his signature moves and a few of the latest dancing techniques, at his favourite songs. We also received an intense peak into, a few of the One Bloods among others, latest projects to be released soon, a notable spark was a Junior Reid collaboration with Lil Wayne- the prince of Hip Hop, which had everyone heads bopping.

The Lyme provided an avenue for new and established, industry players to introduced, and reacquaint themselves with Abood Jamdown Music & Publishing, as the C.E.O. greeted and meet all who were present, including some notable players on hand, such as Arif Cooper, Skatta Burrrell, Shady, Tiki, General B, Ward 21, and the famed Julian - Artiste Manager(Mavado), saw the Lyme through who engaged in talks, regard the existing and upcoming movers within the dancehall.

Christopher Martin has recently received an invitation from the Jamaican Consulate to perform at the upcoming "Loving Jamaica" concert, hosted by the Organization of American States (OAS) and the Jamaican Embassy in Washington DC on August 9th 2009. This will be the platform for introducing some new songs from Christopher, to the outer Jamaican community. The theme is focused on the Jamaican community both locally and abroad, Christopher will be one of our musical ambassadors present in a bid to endorse the theme "Loving Jamaica".

The invitation has appropriately arrived following the release of his latest singles, "MelodyTo My Song" produced by Baby G on the "Good Love" rhythm. Christopher Martin a member of Big Yard label engages in a couple collaborations for the summer featuring some new singles with high chart topping capabilities, such as the much buzzed 'Real Frenz' anthem featuring Agent Sasco (formally Assassin), and label mate D-major for TJ records, "Real Frenz" aims at sending out the positive message of celebrating life and love now, and not waiting until our friends pass on, to acknowledge their worth. The song exalts the meaning of real friends in both character and personality. Other singles to hit the summer and winter seasons are, "Listen" featuring Demarco, which expresses the reluctance of a past love to listen to advice, and "Watch me lord" on the 'Relationships' rhythm by Ariff Cooper.

Look out for those singles and more appearances from Christopher Martin, as he continues to fill us with the promise of his talent.

New reggae/dancehall artist Khago is rapidly emerging as the find of 2009 where new artists are concerned. The talented young man who is now under the guidance of artist manager extraordinaire Paul "Bankylus" Giscombe is no stranger to the local music scene. In 2006 he placed third in the Jamaica Cultural Development Commission's annual Popular Song Contest with his entry Only If You Know for which he also won best video prize in the competition. The following year saw his re-entry in the competition with a song titled Been There which won him the second place prize. This song received favorable rotation on radio stations island-wide, its accompanying music video also received a lot of attention. His performance on the JCDC road shows that year earned him a lot of admiration from the public.

Khago's next move was to take his career to the next level; therefore he focused on making the necessary steps to become a professional recording artist. Since then he has recorded songs for producers such as Sly & Robbie, Kemar "Flava" Mcgregor, Ewan Mcrae of Flava Squad Entertainment and radio DJs Marlon Young & ZJ Sparks.

Mr. Vegas will be bringing his own unique bit of excitement to Montego Bay this week as he promises a "great Sumfest performance" for his legion of fans at the UDC car park in the capital city.

"When I was on tour in Europe, mi have sleepless nights thinking about how I missed Reggae Sumfest and you know that Montego Bay is my town so mi plan to go all out on August 6th and give Mobay people my Sumfest performance," he said.

Mr. Vegas returned to Jamaica this week after completing a wildly successful 'I Am Blessed tour' in Europe. He had kicked off the tour on July 13th with a rousing performance on a show dubbed Summer Reggae Fest at Fort de Saint Pere in France. The tour lasted for about three weeks with several gigs in Germany, Italy, France, Belgium, Holland and Spain. Notable performances included closing the Dour Festival show in Belgium with a high-energy, rain-soaked performance that captivated the large 30,000 plus crowd which flocked to the site for the final day of the annual four-day music festival.

Can you please give me some advice on what to do?

Dear Mr. Proppafix,

I have the most loving relationship any girl could ask for. The sex is great, my man is very caring, I want for nothing, my 3 kids (for this same man) are very happy as he loves them and showers them with affection. From the outside looking in, it is the perfect relationship. My problem is this, Mr Proppafix, he has asked me to marry him and I am having serious doubts. A while back I saw him with some female garments and we had this huge argument as I thought he was having an affair and that is when he confessed to me that he is a cross dresser. He said that he is happy that I finally find out and that he can be himself around me. He assures me that he is not gay, that he is not bi-sexual that he just loves to wear female clothes and make-up. My problem is I don’t know if I should marry him. I need your advice.
-Confused

------------------------------------------------------
Dear Confused,
I think that you should look at the substance of your relationship over the matter. Women's intuition is very good and you can tell if your man is gay. If your intuition tells you that he is not (don't be in denial if it tells you that he is) then I think that you should go ahead and marry the man. You should discuss this openly though before you get married and tell him what you honestly feel about him dressing up as a woman.

Lady GaGa went out dressed in a nude body stocking blazer and a purple big hair wig.

Lady GaGa embraces the Paparazzi by wearing such outrageous outfits to entertain her fans. Lady GaGa loves to give the world a peek at her goodies by wearing sheer/nude body stockings. The skin toned leotard and white blazer made quite a hit with fans and Paps trailing her every move.

Lady GaGa isn't nude in any of the photos, but it's as close as she has ever been seen in the nude off stage. Not sure what the big purple beehive wig is all about. But that's GaGa, always keeping fans guessing.

NOT EVERY GOOD GIRL GONE BAD

By Krazy Katty
OutAroad.com Writer

Queen Ifrica's latest single Mek Mi Grow is now the most talk-about song in the streets as the Fyah Muma secretly blazed "some fire" on certain topics that are frequently used in songs by some of our top dancehall acts.

The Fyah Muma started off the song by telling a story of a girl who is forcing her friend "fi guh a man yard afta school" - the other girl then said "mi a go home to my mother, yuh can stay deh…
Nuh bowy can't draw mi round nuh coner,
Fi guh show mi no iguana, so low mi mek mi grow

After chanting, those positive lines the Fyah Muma then get a bit controversial when she spits lines such as:
"Yuh can't tek my virginity, cause that a God precious gift to me,
If it makes you feel good to sleep wid children in yuh rampin shop well don't bather worry when di lighten clap.

After a blazing second verse Queen Ifrica steps on a few more corns with lines such as "Whe di big bredda dem deh fi di likkle sista dem,
Why every song whe uhnu sing a fi dig out under dem,
Why yuh nuh teach dem fi be like some more Etana dem,
weh di mercy weh u have fi likle Ananda dem,
So be a betta bredda to yuh likkle sista,
Not every Good Girl Gone Bad some a dem trust inna God

On a scale of five, I give this song (Mek Mi Grow) 5 out of 5.

Right now Queen Ifrica can be classed as the leading female artiste in music industry who is well equipped dozens of hit under her belt, such as Daddy Don't Touch Mi, Lioness on The Rise, Keep It To Yuh Self, Far Away, Below The Waist, No Love Again just to name a few.

Things did not work in favour of international recording artiste DåVille, as he would have wanted to, but he still went on to give an excellent performance at Reggae Sumfest International II on Saturday, July 25, despite a minor furor on stage.

The singer, known for several popular songs including his most recent chart topping hit single 'Missing You Right Now' and the promising 'Never Gonna Cry' single, performed for 20 minutes, but was not pleased as he didn't get the chance to give fans the additional treat he promised.

Apologising for losing his cool, DáVille said he had planned a special performance paying tribute to two special persons - the 'king of pop' Michael Jackson and his former road manager Robert Bogle (who died last year from sickle cell), but when he saw that the props he had invested in was not to be, he said he felt ‘dissed’ as no one told him that his elaborate presentation would not have been possible.

It was DáVille's second time performing at the annual Reggae Sumfest. The first was in 2007 when he delivered well among the impressive lineup.

On the day of the event, Sojah performed after veteran reggae star Freddy McGregor along with the big ship family Laden and Chino.

Sojah rocked the crowd from start to finish, having the crowd yearning for more, performing a number of songs that were already hits in Europe along with various tracks from their released album 'Modern Revolution'.

Delus Rocks The Audience

However, Delus' biggest encores came from songs such as Gangsta Remix originally mixed with Mavado & Vybz Kartel and TI's Anything U Want remixes.

Angel Lola Luv Print and Video Diva is Embarking on Something Fresh

Washington, DC (PRWEB) July 29, 2009 -- What would we do without the modern day 'blogging' phenomenon? Blogs render such entertainment. Good, bad or indifferent, gossip sites are spewing with some facts, some fiction, and everything in between. It seems the rumor mills are all in love with the highly desired model and former video-vixen, Ms. Angel Lola Luv aka Lola Monroe. In the beginning of her career, Ms. Luv graced countless magazine covers, and featured in music videos with some of the top Hip Hop artists in the industry. But now she is embarking on a new career, from former video/print diva to sexy, sharp and sassy, rap diva. Teaming up with the undisputed mixtape giant Dj Fletch, Ms. Luv debuted a new mixtape this month, lyrically airing out the rumors and smacking the haters.

Speaking of rumors, it was reported by several media shops including mediatakeout.com and Hip Hop Weekly that Ms. Lola Luv was in a heavy romance, a deep love affair with hip hop's swagger-man Souljaboy Tell Em. Well, sorry to disappoint our fellow bloggers, however Souljaboy Tell Em and Ms. Angel Lola are simply friends. Angel explains, "Souljaboy and I are not dating. We recorded a song together for our mixtape projects and have a mutual artist to artist respect for each other. He's a cool guy, but right now I'm more focused on upcoming films and my new album." Angel is currently working in the studio with several top named producers preparing for her debut album release in 2010. Luckily for all the fellas, Ms. Luv aka Lola Monroe is still single while making major moves. Did we mention Ms. Luv is making her big screen appearance starring alongside 50 Cent in the highly anticipated movie "Before I Self Destruct"? Um huh!

Revolutionary Entertainment recording artist Junior X is aiming to cement his place in the Jamaican music industry, now that he has a new management team. It was in 2005 that he stormed on to the local music scene with hits such as Plead My Cause, Freedom & Seek Your Goal while working with Herbs House Entertainment. However, his relationship with Herbs House Entertainment was very brief because of irreconcilable differences between him and the company. Since then he has been handling his career by himself.

However, Junior X recently signed a three-year management deal with Revolutionary Entertainment. His association with this US based company came about after he was introduced by Roy Francis of Mixing Lab recording studio to the CEO of Revolutionary Entertainment Dennis Livingston a few months ago.
