Chris Brown has a new single called "I Can Transform Ya," featuring Lil Wayne and Swizz Beatz, streaming right now on his official website. Two decent verses from Weezy make this one a somewhat easier listen than "Twitter," the grating track Brown leaked earlier this month. One thing hasn't changed since then, though: I'm still not ready to hear this kind of music from Chris Brown.

The singer also recently announced a headlining concert date on Oct. 27, his first since becoming a convicted felon. I can't decide whether to feel baffled or outraged by his apparent decision to charge forward with a comeback before even finishing his court-mandated trash-pickup hours. Brown was sentenced to that community service just one month ago after pleading guilty to assaulting his former girlfriend Rihanna in February. Does he think we've already forgotten what happened? As EW's Michael Slezak noted when "Twitter" leaked on Sept. 10, Brown needs to take some serious time off from promoting his career to think about why he committed such an awful crime and make sure it never happens again. Many of you agreed at the time, as did I. Call me crazy, but I don't think a 19-day break was what any of us had in mind.

It's really a shame - "I Can Transform Ya" isn't a terrible song at all. (Stream it after the jump if you want.) Unfortunately, I just can't hear this guy sing Auto-Tuned come-ons right now without cringing. Can you? When, if ever, do you think it will be appropriate for Brown to hawk new music?

Dear Editor,
Please allow me to respond to a letter that appeared in the Thursday, 10th September 2009 edition of the Stabroek News, titled "Mavado should not be allowed to perform in Guyana" and written by Norman Brown.

Despite all the bad that is said, it takes one (1) Norman Brown to incur far more danger than 10 Mavados to any society. This is clearly demonstrated when he stated "the government's decision to lift the ban has not been properly spelled out. However, I looked forward to Eric Phillips' contribution on the lifting of the ban. It is the Afro-Caribbean youth that is targeted here. This sort of music is given to them as their music. The government seems to be saying it is okay to tell our young men and women that "deh don't know da meanin, when meh seh marrow paste on da ceiling", obviously inferring to what he perceives as an attempt by the government to use the 'negatives' in Mavado's music in a disadvantageous way to Afro-Guyanese.

But then again, it is the same government that allows "Rum till I die' 'Mo rum fuh me' 'Yuh cud bring it in a bottle, yuh cud bring it in a flask' to be delivered to their Indo-Guyanese supporters and we all know the spin-offs from this.

Below is a letter that was sent to stabroeknews complaining that Mavado should have not been allowed back in Guyana after he was removed from the country's list of banned artistes.

Dear Editor,
I have said all there is to be said, in previous letters, on the subject of Mavado performing in Guyana. However, I have noted with concern, Jason Abdulla's letter, which seeks to justify why the 'gully god' should be allowed to perform within the boundaries of our eighty-three thousand square miles ('There has been a shift in Mavado's lyrics and he is now accepted around the world' SN, September 10).

Mr Abdulla makes a comparison between Adijah Palmer (Vybz Kartel) and David Brooks (Mavado). It is important to note that the two above-mentioned artistes are viewed as the Tupac and the Notorious BIG of the Caribbean. There is an ongoing feud between them which influences youths to be divided on either side of the violent fence. Within the realm of this genre of music, it is unfortunate that the influence impacts negatively on the black youth.

There has not been a shift in Mavado's lyrics; there has been an increase in his global popularity. He is a money-spinner in the music world. He is signed by top international labels and has done a feat with hardcore rapperJay Z.

Stevie Face has come along way since scoring his first big hit song I'm In Love, which was released on the Arrows imprint in 2001. Eight years later the honeycombed voice singer seems poised to take over the top spot in the lover's rock category of popular Jamaican music, since reviving his career last year. After suffering serious injuries in a car accident and a change of management due to reasons beyond his control Stevie's singing career was on the back burner for a while. However as faith would have it in 2007 he decided to work and album project with top flight record producer/musician Computer Paul. He and Computer had worked on a few singles before and had built up a good working relationship over the years, so making the decision to resume his career under the guidance of the highly reputed producer was an easy choice.

"I have been through a lot in my career so far having started out in the music biz while still in high school." "My first hit was a song called Teach The Children in the late 90s and then I found the big number one tune I'm In Love in 01." "Things were looking bright at that point but the accident along the death of my former manager slowed me down badly." "Now things are looking even better for me, two number one singles in a year is very good and I know my album have a lot more hits on it and the people are gonna love it", stated Stevie Face.

The Gully Vs Gaza issue has been the most talked about and publicized topic since the start of the year. This new dancehall fever of Gully Vs Gaza has already become more popular than both political parties (JLP & PNP). However, the big question is what would be your reaction if you were to hear Bruce Golding shouting "A Gaza Mi Seh," publicly? Would it be just as shocking if the world's fastest man Usain Bolt shout it as well?

"A Gaza mi seh, and who nuh like dat jump inna gully." shouted Usain Bolt at a party that was recently held at the Quad Nightclub in respect of his achievements at this year's meets in Berlin.

OutAroad.com went out a road and conducted a vox-pop asking the public: Should Usain Bolt take sides in the Gully, Gaza feud? Especially he's about to get Government honors.

Below are the public opinions.

Stacey Bell, 27 - Secretary:
First of all everyone is entitled to his/her opinion but with success and role-model-ship, you are expecting one's opinion to not being bias even when that is their intended choice. Bolt has to understand that being the world fastest man on earth comes with a price and that is maturity, respect and adjusting your lifestyle and personality to fit the innocent admiration he gets from the public.

Nicholas, 25 - Vendor:
Mi nuh agree wid wha bolt a gwaan wid mi not going to be ignorant like some people and put negative over positive. Mi have youths and dem look up to Bolt so dat means seh whatever him like a dat them a guh like to and even though I am lover of Mavado's music mi wouldn't want fi guh home one day and hear mi likkle son a seh Gully. Bolt mi respect yuh and di I only want fi si the best for yuh but yuh need fi know dat the gully people dem love you as well so please no segregation.

Gary aka Biggie, 20 - Unemployed:
Yow a Gaza mi seh and if the big man a seh Gaza to what's wrong wid dat, don't Asafa a seh Gully? Mi personally nuh have a problem wid it because mi know that it's just for entertainment. Mek mi repeat whe di dads seh "A Gaza mi seh, and who nuh like dat jump inna gully…Gaza.

Heineken Green Synergy finalist DJ Shine recently made his debut at the popular retro old school party, Footloose.

During his near two hour stint DJ Shine easily impressed patrons inside the venue, with hits from the 1970's and late 1980's. Tunes from the likes of Regina, Madonna, Hues Corporation, Jimmy Cliff, Donna Summer and the Miami Sound Machine among others, kept patrons busy for an extended period.

Prior to handing over the wheels of steel to heavyweights such as ZJ Liquid and Jazzy T, Shine whipped up a frenzy with R&B delicacies which saw couples grooving to hits from Boyz II Men, Brian McKnight and Michael Jackson.

Prolific reggae hit maker Richie Spice who is currently on the final leg of his one month US west coast tour, is currently sitting in the number one position on the RETV reggae top twenty singles chart with his single Street Life. The single which appears on the Sons Of Spoon label is also in the number four position on both the Jamaica Music Countdown reggae singles chart and the Outaroad.com Top Ten Reggae Singles Chart.

The accompanying music video for the Street Life also topped the TVJ's Fi Wi Choice chart and RETV's MVP chart recently.

The music video for Richie's single King & Queen with Bajan soca queen Allison Hinds is also doing very well, it is currently in the number four spot on the reggae chart CVM TV's Hit List TV show, after holding down the number one position for two weeks, it's also number six on TVJS' FI Wi Choice Top Ten Show and number nine on Suzie Q's Video Alley Top Ten Show which is also aired on TVJ.

After his tour wraps up next week Richie Spice will return to island for a short time before heading off for a series of one off shows across the Caribbean.

Multi-talented singjay Paul Davis aka Don Sniper is a versatile artist, songwriter and producer who is determined to make it in the music biz. His involvement with music began at the age of ten while he was a student Alpha Boys primary school, where he learned to play the saxophone and sang on the school choir. After leaving that institution, he attended the Papine High School. During his high school years, he was also a member of the Tavanaires marching band. After completing his high school education in the late 1990s, he spent most of his time visiting various recording studios in Kingston. Eventually he made friends with other artists such as Danny English, Singer J, Egg Nog & New Kids all of whom were a part of the Q45 Records camp at the time. He spent a lot of time traveling to the studios and events with these artists, while doing so he learnt as much as he could about the music business.

Don Sniper recorded his first single titled Hello Good Looking, which was collaboration with Heather Cummings for the Big Star label in 2000. Since then there has been no turning back for him as he has recorded several other singles and performed on major events such as Sting 2004, he also performed Unity Splash that same year, Hype 2k9, he recently performed on Beenie Sizzle.

Chris Brown won't be crooning "I'll Be There" in honor of Michael Jackson.

The "Forever" singer has put the kibosh on any plans to perform at the M.J. tribute concert in Vienna, hours after Jermaine Jackson announced Brown would be among the headliners at the Sept. 26 show.

"Chris is not confirmed to perform or participate in any capacity for this show," the publicist for Brown's label tells E! News.

While we expect Brown to commence his comeback after racking up five years' probation for beating Rihanna, we were surprised to hear his name listed with Mary J. Blige, Natalie Cole, Akon and Sister Sledge for the event. He would need court approval to head overseas and get a break from his 180 hours of community labor. Brown, 20, attended Jackson's funeral and has cited the King of Pop as a major influence.

KINGSTON, Jamaica -- Legislators in Jamaica have approved a bill that makes possession, production and distribution of child pornography a specific crime.

Those found guilty could face up to 20 years in prison and nearly $6,000 in fines.

Suspects previously linked to child pornography would be prosecuted under charges such as carnal abuse.

Prime Minister Bruce Golding said in a statement released Wednesday that the government will aggressively pursue those who profit from child pornography.

Jamaica also created its first sex-offender registry earlier this year and strengthened laws dealing with other sexual offenses.

Queen Ifrica takes her second #1 on the OutARoad Weekly Top Ten Reggae Singles Chart by ending Delus' two-week reign with his "mega love" single True Love.

While Jah Cure ft. Phyllisia's Call On Me descended three places from #3 to six his hit single You'll Never Find is doing the opposite by ascending two places up the chart from #6 to four which also makes it become the Greatest Gainer.

Stevie Face's I Wanna Wake Up has maintained its #5 position while Richie Spice's Street Life moves one notch closer to the #1 position.

New York, NY (Ms. RAINE INC): Trevor Rhone will go down in history as one of the driving forces behind pop-culture fascination with Jamaican music and language. As a co-writer of the groundbreaking 1972 film The Harder They Come, he introduced the American mainstream to the real Jamaica--focusing on the everyday lives of ordinary Jamaicans in their native language, and creating a platform to internationally showcase a then unknown sound called Reggae. The renowned playwright, author, actor and director, whose legendary works also include the book "Old Time Story," the play Two Can Play, and the screen gems Smile Orange and One Love, passed away on September 15th at the age of 69.

The Caribbean Cultural Theatre, and a host of other Caribbean-American cultural partners, under the patronage of the Honorable Geneive Brown Metzger, Consul General of Jamaica, New York, will be hosting a Tribute & Remembrance for the Life and Work of Playwright and Filmmaker Trevor D. Rhone, CD on Saturday, September 26th at St. Francis College-Founders Hall. The event will feature excerpts of Rhone's stage and screen gems, and culminate in a traditional Jamaican 'Nine Night' celebration or wake.

Renaissance and Expoze Entertainment have teamed up to stage a weekly series Bizarre Fridays at the Plush Nightclub in New Kingston.

Bizarre Fridays is set to get underway this Friday September 25, and according to Delano Thomas from Renaissance, 'Bizarre Fridays will provide something new, exciting and consistent to Friday night club life'.

Thomas pointed out that the hippest and newest nightclub on the block, Plush was chosen as the location for the weekly series, based on the target market and the fresh appeal that Bizarre Fridays will offer.

Cherine Anderson may be the first Jamaican female artist in recent times to hit not one but five Billboard charts simultaneously. The feat brings about another first in Anderson's short career, as she might also be the first Jamaican female singer to register a song on the Billboard Rock Charts.

The Dancehall Soulstress is featured with Michael Franti & Spearhead on the Sly & Robbie produced smash hit "Say Hey (I Love You)", which has been added to many US top 40 radio and AAA radio stations in the past three weeks. The song peaked at #1 on Billboard Heatseekers charts 6 weeks ago and has been steadily climbing other charts. Currently "Say Hey (I Love You)" is #21 on the Billboard Hot 100, #48 on the Billboard Rock chart, #14 on the Digital Songs chart, #22 on the Pop Songs chart and #43 on The Radio Songs chart.

The previous Champion failed to hold her grounds, as the Challenger defeated her by three points (15-12).

Will the new Champion make it win #2 in order to walk away with the prize?

The term, "Trouble comes in twos and threes," has become the latest plague in the life of Alliance selector Foota Hype. First, he was accused of being involved in an attack on Mavado's Range Rover - secondly he was arrested for assaulting a young man from the Cassava Piece community…days after his released from the Constant Spring lock-up Foota was slapped with another charge during his court appearance at the Corporate Area Criminal Court.

According to police reports on September 9, the complainant was strolling along Manor View Drive, St. Andrew when he was approached by Foota Hype and several men who pulled up beside him in a white Nissan motor car. The men then alighted from the vehicle who ordered him to be stilled while they pointed a gun at him.

The complainant immediately went to the Constant Spring Police Station to report the matter when he pounced upon Foota Hype who was there requesting help from the police to move his mother from the volatile Cassava Piece Area. The man then pointed out Foota to the officer as one of the men who attacked him.

OutAroad.com gets to understand that during Foota's court session on Monday he explains to the Judge that even though he was present on the scene the day the incident took place he did not attempt to search the complainant. Foota Hype however reveals that the police officer who he was traveling with carried out the search.

Detectives have seized the police officer service pistol for ballistics testing. It’s possible he might be slapped with criminal charges.

Gully God Mavado will be celebrating his Birthday in several cities this year, to satisfy his fans' demands to be a part of the celebration. Kingston, Montego Mobay and New York will all get their own chance to be a part of the festivities and it all kicks off in Miami at the swanky Opium, Hard Rock Cafe on Sunday October 25th.

With Mavado's international crossover appeal continuing to rise, it's fitting that HOT97's Jabba and 99 Jamz' superstar DJ Khaled will be the hosts of this event that promises a "gullyfull" of surprises as Mavado and friends celebrate in style. Stellar sound systems such as Innocent, Black Chiney, Massive B, 1-800-Bungie, Bashment Kid and more have all been confirmed for October 25th inside Opium, Hard Rock Cafe.

Mavado is currently putting together his third album, due for release early next year, as well as continuing to collaborate with the world's hottest names in music. Having just voiced with Alicia Keys, Mavado also recently voiced a recording in collaboration with new sensation Drake that is sure to set the game on fire when it drops.

Mr. Vegas will be celebrating his birthday swag style with a champagne-swilling soiree/video launch at the Stone Love HQ on September 30th.

The event, which will be sponsored by Magnum Tonic Wine, will see the highly anticipated launch of his Jay Will-directed video, Gallis/Sassa Step starting at 8pm - 10pm followed by an after party that will see Vegas partying with his superstar friends.

"The event is going to be great. Vegas really knows how to throw a party and this party will go on right into Weddy Weddy at Stone Love HQ. Plus, a lot of industry people are looking forward to seeing Jay Will's latest project, especially since it is a dance video, something he has not done for a while," manager Ray Alexander of Khool International, said in a release.

With the recent feud between Mavado and Foota Hype, many persons thought Foota would have part ways with the Alliance, which was formed by dancehall heavy weight Bounty Killer.

According to Foota Hype, Bounty Killer is the leader of the Alliance so the feud between him and the Gully Gad does not decide his future with the Alliance.

Foota Hype has no more connections with Cassava Piece.

Days ago, when Foota Hype went to the Constant Spring Police Station requesting their help to move his mother out of Cassava Piece he was arrested for allegedly assaulting someone from the said community. However, the moment Foota Hype was released he continues his quest of getting his mother out of the community which he did.

OutAroad.com gets to understand that Foota Hype has not only moves out of the community but he also painted out an image that was spray painted on a wall in the community by friends. Foota however believed that the painting of his face on the wall has created a bad image for him, as most persons who saw the photo tends to believe that he's one of the Dons for Cassava Piece.

In recent news, there have been reports of Foota Hype mother's house being fired on by thugs aligned to Mavado. Within days after Mavado's Range Rover was sprayed with bullets, which left persons questioning if it's a reprisal shooting. However, Mavado denies the allegations while Foota Hype stated that he has nothing to do with the shooting of Mavado's Range Rover.

Out A Road recording artiste Tiki has wrapped up another video shoot over the weekend making it her second video since she won the prestigious Magnum Kings & Queens competition.

Fans will definitely love the outcome of the video for "Tiki Wine" as the script tells of Tiki being an Indian girl who demonstrates Tiki's Wine along with several other Indian dancers.

Jamdown & Abood Music publishing UK producer/artiste Deewaan also flew in all the way from the UK, to make a guest appearance in the video, as he's the one who sings the Indian part in "Tiki Wine".

Rick directed Tiki's "Tiki Wine" video along with members of his RXTA Video Production Crew while the potential hit single was co-produced by Deewaan alongside Skatta and Shady on the Hindu Riddim.

Catholic school officials at the New York school Lady Gaga went to are following anti-suicide groups by reportedly blasting her gory performance at the MTV Video Music Awards last weekend.

The singer stunned the star-studded audience at the Big Apple ceremony with her most bizarre stage act to date with a shocking rendition of her hit Paparazzi.

Gaga danced with crutches alongside a wheelchair-bound performer while blood poured down her bare mid-riff.

She was then surrounded by her dancers, who acted as if to mourn her death, before her lifeless and blood-spattered body was pulled up from the stage on a winch as the curtain came down.

Click here to see a full-size Reuters image of Lady Gaga during the controversial performance.

After another stellar performance recently at the HOT97 On Da Reggae Tip show, alongside fellow Alliance members Bounty Killer and Serani, Mavado shunned the after party scene for more important business...a studio session with multi-platinum superstar Alicia Keys.

"Last year we left the Reggae Tip show and recorded a track with Lil Kim and Wyclef, this year it was straight into the studio with Alicia Keys," said the Gully Gad. "I am very focused on my career right now and I'm just trying to elevate myself and Jamaica on a whole through music. Working with Alicia is an honour and a pleasure."

Recording artist Collin Llewellyn aka Dubkore is fully aware that music is a great influence on people all over the world. Therefore, he has chosen to sing songs that will have a positive influence on the world. The versatile singer, songwriter and musician who hails from the Duhaney Park area of Kingston, is a trained musician. His introduction to music came at an early age by way of the piano, from the age of seven he was sent to study music at the viva studio in the Cassia Park area of Kingston. His ability to play the piano earned him a silver medal in the 1979 JCDC Festival Of The Arts Competition, while he was a student at the Dunrobin Primary School.

"Music has always been a part of my life ever since I was a child, from an early age I was sent to music classes". "I used to rebel against going to my piano classes but in the end I am happy I did them because this knowledge and experience has helped me a lot since I decided to pursue music as a career", Dubcore said.

Jay-Z doesn't think Kanye West is a "jackass" - just "super-passionate."

The rapper defended his protégé on BBC Radio for ambushing Taylor Swift at Sunday's Video Music Awards and says the whole situation has been blown out of proportion.

Top Moments: Kanye interrupts, Serena curses and True Blood licks the egg

"Of course it was rude, because it was her moment, but that's the way he really felt," Jay-Z said. "I think it was rude, but the way they're treating him... He's on the cover of every paper. He didn't kill anybody. No one got harmed."

Kanye calls Taylor Swift to apologize

West has since personally apologized to Swift, who accepted his apology, meaning it's time for everyone to move on, Jay-Z said.

"I don't think he should lay low," he said, referring to West's announcement on The Jay Leno Show to take a break. "I think he should move on and have a brilliant career."

NEW ALBUM FROM VYBZ KARTEL HITS ITUNES SEPTEMBER 22ND

Vybz Kartel is perhaps the most talked about man in Dancehall--a captivating figure noted just as much for his supposed rivalries and alleged personal controversy as he is for his suave but brazen delivery, racy content, and sharp lyrical agility. His latest album Pon Di Gaza, slated for release on iTunes on Tuesday, September 22nd, gives listeners a totally different perspective; an in-depth look at the man behind the myth.

Released on the Adidjahiem Records/NotNice Records label, Pon Di Gaza is a complete portrayal of the life and times of Adidja 'Vybz Kartel' Palmer. Tunes like the Billboard-charting single "Ramping Shop" featuring Spice, "Virginity" featuring Indu, and "Like a Movie" give audiences the flashy "vybz", while new singles like "Teardrops," "What You Won't Do for Love," "Can't Frame Me," and "Yea Though I Walk" gives personal testament of the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of Adidja.

While Tiki and her management team (Out A Road records) are busy making preparations for her video shoot this weekend her fans have been "dying" to know if the young Diva is pregnant for internationally acclaimed producer Skatta Burrell.

According to Tiki the rumor began days after she returned from Canada -- From then her phone been ringing off the hook as if she has just won the Magnum Kings & Queens competition. "Tiki a true seh yuh pregnant," everyone kept asking.

Several other local websites have also posted inaccurate information of Tiki being pregnant, but when OutAroad.com linked up with Tiki yesterday, there were no evidence her carrying a child.

"I also heard of the rumor - I got so many phone calls that makes me myself wanting to believe that I am pregnant…just kidding, said Tiki who poked a little fun at the rumor. She then added, "I just don't understand how a rumor like dis gets started in the first place."

Tiki Wine

This weekend it's all about Bollywood meets Dancehall as Tiki will be the star on set for the shooting of her video for the fast rising hit single "Tiki Wine".

Jamdown Music & Abood Music publishing UK producer/artiste Deewaan will be in the island sometime this week, to make a guest appearance in the video, as he's the one who sings the Indian part in "Tiki Wine".

Deejay Flippa Mafia boasts that he has the flossing title and this could very well be true. However, in his new single, Foundation Over Hype the deejay lists out all the other titles he owns - including house, van, Rolex and land - and really gives it to his detractors.

This song could be titled Unfinished House Part 2 as the deejay again emphasises the importance of owning assets and not simply focusing on the hype. "A foundation over hype, tell dem di Mafia alright, dash way money when me feel like/No badda watch mi clothes and mi hype," advises the Flossing King who declares that he "mek money more than how the bees mek honey".

Flippa Mafia burst on the scene late last year with money-throwing gimmicks which helped to propel him in the dancehall, but which at the same time brought him some amount of criticism. He has since made it clear in his lyrics the importance of setting a foundation:

By the grace of God, Sotto Bless is destined to explode in the competitive music industry.

His true inspiration came from his mother, Ms. Elaine and his four sisters who were aware of the talent he possessed. However, it took a greater 'Influence' than what he had in himself and this 'Influence' was "Frass Records" who foreshadowed Sotto Bless' career where it's at right now.

Sotto Bless was more popularly known as "Di Writer" before he became a performer. He wrote for other artist with the intent of one day fulfilling his dream of performing his own creations. Refuse to be known as the "area artist" he ventured out of the security of his community Correville Gardens, determined to see what kind of impact his music would have on other individuals.

Sean Paul might be in Switzerland, but that won't stop his fourth studio album, Imperial Blaze from continuing to blaze fire on the Billboard charts in the US. The album, his first in four years, has debuted at #1 on the Billboard Rap Album charts, toppling the likes of Eminem, Fabolous and Twista to top the charts.

Sean Paul is also sitting comfortably atop the Billboard Reggae Album Charts, ahead of a Bob Marley compilation, Ziggy Marley's Family Time, and VP Record's Reggae Gold.

This is his first time atop the rap album charts, and his second time on the Billboard Rap Album charts overall as his third studio album, The Trinity, peaked at #3 on the rap charts in 2005. It is also the first time a Jamaican artiste is topping that chart.

"From him was a tiny tot", Dj Neil realized that being in the music industry is where his passion lies. A passion which is not determined by nurture, but by nature, a passion not determined by want, but by need…a passion determined by purity, genuine love and desire…... the love of the most powerful force on earth "Music".

In the heart of Cooreville Gardens -Bob Marley Circle ironically is where you will find a fast growing music empire that is equipped with not only a pro-tools home studio, but an internet radio studio as well. Neil's dad the legendary 'Father P' who is a musician, and a producer, serves as his chief source of musical inspiration. "He is my mentor and the person responsible for guiding me through my musical journey to where I am today."

Dj Neil started his journey as a hobby in the year 2001, by flooding the streets with a the Famous mix tape called Unleashed for his sound Cash Flow Family, the mix was compiled and co-produced by his younger brother Dj X and his neighbour "Mexican". Adding Dj Hize to the family, Dj Neil went on to do several mix tapes as years goes by, including several volumes of Culture mixes, which created a buzz in countries like Japan, Canada and numerous parts of the world.

OutAroad.com gets to understand that a letter has been circulating stating that five men, who according to hospital and police reports, gang raped a young woman, who they took to the Zen nightclub in Trinidad on a Saturday night.

Tests later confirmed repeat rapes and along with traces of Rohypnol in her blood and Progesterex, which is essentially a small sterilization pill.

The drug is now being used by rapists at parties to rape and sterilize their victims. Progesterex is available to vets to sterilize large animals. Rumour has it that Progesterex is being used together with Rohypnol, the date rape drug. As with Rohypnol, all they have to do is drop it into the girl's drink. The girl can’t remember a thing the next morning, of all that had taken place the night before.

Progesterex, which dissolves in drinks just as easily, is such that the victim doesn't conceive from the rape and the rapist need not worry about having a paternity test identifying him months later. The drug's effects ARE NOT TEMPORARY-They are P*E*R*M*A*N*E*N*T! Progesterex was designed to sterilize horses. Any female who takes it WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO CONCEIVE. The weasels can get this drug from anyone who is in vet school or any university. It's that easy, and Progesterex is about to break out big everywhere.

Believe it or not, there are even sites on the Internet telling people how to. Please SEND this STORY to everyone you know, especially girls! Be careful when you're out and don't leave your drink unattended. Please make the effort to PASS this on to all you know!! Guys, please inform all your female friends and relatives.

Is it a Hoax?

However, according en.wikipedia.org Progesterex is a fictitious date rape drug. It is part of a hoax that began to circulate in 1999 via e-mail on the internet. No actual drug by this name or even with these properties exists, and no such incident has ever been documented or confirmed.

Ladies even if the Date Rape story is not true please use this as a reminder to not be stupid when out drinking up with people - male or female you know or don't know"

Hit making dancehall artist and producer Delly Ranx is aiming to take his career to new heights with his latest album Good Profile. Delly Ranx says that the album features some of his best works ever and he expects big things to happen for it. The album, which was produced by the California based record label Itation Records, is now available for digital download on Itunes and Amazom.com. It will also be available on CD on Tuesday the 15th of September.

"I am looking forward to higher levels of success with this album". "It's a very good album and it has some of the best songs I have ever recorded". "So mi expect big things to happen with it," said Delly Ranx.

The 18 track Good Profile is mainly a one-drop roots and culture flavored album that shows a different side of Delly, who is known for scoring hits that feature up-tempo dancehall beats. The album signals the coming of age of a very talented artist who despite, having enjoyed a successful career as a deejay; has gained more prominence as producer. However, Delly Ranx is confident that this album will cement his status as an artist of repute.

I Am Blessed singjay Vegas and the Warlord Bounty Killer hung out together backstage at the HOT 97's 'On Da Reggae Tip' concert, talking, vibing and even taking pictures for the press and fans.

Dear Mr. Proppafix,

I am a Muslim girl. I am 18. I am having sex regularly since January with my boyfriend. However, my parents are against our marriage. I don't want to hurt them and I want to leave my boyfriend but the thought that am not a virgin anymore makes me restless.

I am writing to you to find a solution to my problem. I can't sleep at night and I don't feel hungry anymore. Apart from surgery, is there any way to regain my virginity??? If not, how can I convince my husband I'm a virgin when I’m not? In our culture, it's really essential for a girl to be a virgin when she gets married else she will be returned to her mother's place the next day. I am very scared about it.

What if I don't have sex for a longtime? Will my vagina be tight?? If so, will my future husband able to tell if am a virgin or not? How about the blood? How can I make him believe am a virgin? plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz help me out!!! AM worried!!!

Thank u v v v v v v v much in advance. Waiting for your reply impatiently.

-NB

-------------------------------------------

Dear NB,

It is quite a sticky situation that you have gotten yourself in. No, there are no other ways to regain your virginity except for surgery as once the hymen is broken it's impossible to regain your virginity even if you stop having sexual intercourse.

The only solution I see to the problem is to tell your parents that you have been sexually involved with your present boyfriend and tell them about both your plans to get married. Let them know that you realize that they are against you getting married to this man but unfortunately, in your culture you are now "tainted" and cannot be married off to someone as a virgin. Put it this way, better to deal with their wrath now before getting someone else involved and bringing shame to them when you are returned to them because you are not a virgin. All the best and I do hope it works out for you!

According to reports, Foota Hype went to the Constant Spring Police station requesting their help to move his mother from out of Cassava Piece. However, it so happens that the victim he allegedly assaulted turned up at police station where the victim saw Foota Hype and pointed him out as one of the men who attacked him.

Up until late last night, no charges were laid against Foota Hype who spent the night behind bar.

Keeping logging on today for Mavado's exclusive interview about Foota Hype and Mother's house being attacked by gunmen.

The I Am Blessed singjay Mr. Vegas expressed surprise when contacted this morning about a rumoured ban instituted against him by organisers of the Irie Jamboree concert in Queens, New York after it emerged that he had lambasted their poor organisation of the show on the social networking site, Twitter.

Vegas said that he was upset that he had not been allowed to perform even though he had arrived at the venue hours before his scheduled performance time. He reacted with anger to allegations by the promoters that he had walked out of the venue after being asked to perform during a different time slot.

"I did not walk out, I waited until the show ended, when Tarrus Riley went up to perform on Freddie McGregor's band and then I left. If they want to ban me, it is what it is," Vegas said.

No official word has come from the promoters yet, however, insiders say that they are peeved at Vegas' statements, especially in light of the fact that he performed on the Irie Jamboree float during the annual Labour Day parade. Mr. Vegas took the opportunity to apologise to his fans who wanted to see him perform at Irie Jamboree.

There may be a new guy in Rihanna's life! She's been spotted out with Travis London, who was previously linked to Mary-Kate Olsen. According to NY Daily News, Rihanna and Travis have been seen in numerous places in LA since last Saturday.

They apparently dined at Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, hung with Katy Perry, and canoodled at the Chateau Marmont.

A source says, "They were very silly and touchy-feely. She looked like she was having a really good time."

Well, Rihanna definitely deserves to have a good time! She's been through a lot this year! What do you think about her latest choice in a man?

Since the rebirth of Bounty Killer's warring ways fans have been curious wanting to know who's been putting Pen 2 Paper to create the harsh lyrics that Bounty Killer has been spitting at Vybz Kartel since of late.

Is it Flexxx, Chass Cross or maybe it's the then Alliance member Aidonia? So far, all fingers have been pointing at Aidonia especially the fact that he went on stage at this summer's Fully Loaded and said "Big Up Bounty Killer." According to Aidonia even though he had a few fall outs with the Five Star General Bounty Killer he still has to show his respect to the Grung Gad.

Alliance or Not
Earlier today OutAroad.com received a press release stating that Aidonia has not rejoin forces with the alliance nor is he a member of the Vybz Kartel led Gaza gang. The release also stated that he's not Killer's ghost writer.

"Mi nuh know weh people get it fi say mi write song fi Killer fi diss Kartel ... mi even see it pon a site seh mi attack Kartel, I have nothing against Bounty nor Kartel, if the two ah dem feuding that is not my concern, a mi co-workers dem and I wish dem nothing but the best, right now a just music mi seh and J.O.P a that a my focus".

Dancehall super group has officially been honored for their contribution to the Reggae and Dancehall community. Held in Florida at the prestigious Nova University.

The group was only informed that they would participate in a motivational forum for the students and a welcoming concert for those returning from their summer holidays but to their obvious surprise, there was more to the night than just that. At the end of their speech and question/answer interaction with the students, the group was presented with a plaque for their "Outstanding contribution to the Reggae/Dancehall industry and the Jamaican culture" which was cheered on by the entire auditorium (students and professors alike). All four members were pleasantly surprised, "This is a testament to the hard work that we and others like us put in and we are extremely humbled by this accomplishment. Give thanks to all our supporters over the years...it's all of you who keep us solid as a rock!” stated Roshaun 'Bay-C' Clarke.

NEW YORK, NY (RHONA FOX, INC.) - The 9th Annual New Jersey International Music Festival is back with a new name and a lineup to prove its new promise. With a dream team of international superstars that include Fabolous, Rick Ross, Buju Banton, Machel Montano, Beenie Man and rising crossover dancehall star Magazeen, the festival sets the stage to be the biggest show of the year when it goes down on Sunday, September 20, 2009 at the Bears & Eagles Riverfront Stadium in Newark, New Jersey.

Originally showcasing the best acts in Caribbean music, promoters G. City, RoadBlockRadio.com, RACE Entertainment and CCB International have revamped the now nine-year old New Jersey Reggae Fest in more than just name; they've added international flair with two of the ultimate names in music with Rick Ross and Fabolous, and the very top Caribbean entertainers with Machel Montano, Beenie Man and Buju Banton.

Keeping in-tune with its new international claim, the headliners all bring a massive fan base in their respective genres. From Fabolous, whose newest album Loso's Way topped the Billboard albums chart when it dropped in July, to Ross' Deeper Than Rap that also debuted at #1 on Billboard's albums chart in April, earning him his third straight #1 album debut, to the 'king of dancehall' in Beenie Man, the 'king of soca' in Machel Montano, and the versatile reggae dancehall megastar Buju Banton, whose recent album Rasta Got Soul also hit Billboard, debuting at #2 on the reggae albums chart back in May.

Jah Cure ft. Phyllisia's Call On Me has been dominating the #1 spot on the OutARoad Weekly Top Ten Reggae Singles chart for three consecutive weeks.

Delus' True Love, which has been making steady progress up the chart, seems to be the only threat to Jah Cure's Call On Me.

This week Greatest Gainer title goes to the Fyah Muma Queen Ifrica for the hit single Lioness On The Rise jumping two places from #6 to five.

September 04, 2009 OutARoad Weekly Top Ten Reggae Singles

After rocking a club show in Hollywood, Los Angeles last night, red hot singjay Mr. Vegas is now in New York where he has a number of appearances and live shows scheduled for the hectic Labour Day weekend. First up, he 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 alongside Beenie Man, Bounty Killer, Elephant Man, Serani and Mavado. The singjay's monster hit song, I Am Blessed, on the Liv Up Records imprint has been blowing up the airwaves 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 on that show," Vegas, who just completed a highly successful European tour, said.

Mr. Vegas will make guest appearance at the soca party dubbed Hypnosis at the CPAC, in Brooklyn alongside Krossfire among others on September 5th.

The 'Big Clock' Brings 'the General' to Lock Down Brooklyn on Labor Day

After delivery a powerful musical punch at this year's Brooklyn Music Festival in June, the '5 Star General' Bounty Killer returns to Brooklyn for round two this Labor Day. In celebration of the West Indian-American Carnival weekend, the General and his Alliance lieutenants will storm Brooklyn's Caribbean City nightclub on Monday, September 7th. After dominating Sumfest and Champions in Action, two of Jamaica's biggest summer stagings, the Warlord's return to Brooklyn is highly anticipated.

Billed as the 'After Parkway Jam,' the event--taking place immediately after the day-long carnival parade on Eastern Parkway--is a fitting close to the West Indian-American Day Carnival celebrations and the City's summer concert season.

Outaroad Records, the entertainment outfit that pledges to bring forward the next generation of Dancehall stars has recently signed the ultra-talented Ikaya to their roster. The artiste who at a very young age already has a wealth of experience in the music industry is poised to be dancehall's next big thing.

For those who don't know Ikaya debuted on Capelton's Fire on Skatta Burrell's Martial Arts Riddim in the early 2000's. Since then the artiste has slowly been making a name for herself in the music industry and recently collaborated with Merciless on his hit single Amber Alert.

With Skatta at the helm of Outaroad Record's production house, Ikaya has at her disposal one of the most acclaimed producer's in the industry today.

Now Ikaya is set to debut her own video for her fast rising single Good Up on the Bad Intentions Riddim also produced by Skatta. The song is about girl power and pulls Ikaya out of her shell and places her on a bad dancehall Riddim.

Gargamel Music is pleased to confirm that four-time Grammy nominated Reggae artist and icon, Buju Banton will kick off his hotly anticipated Rasta Got Soul US Tour on September 12th in Philadelphia. We are disappointed by the hasty cancellation of a few shows by Live Nation/House of Blues and Goldenvoice/AEG, but fans will be happy to know we have over 30 confirmed shows that are definitely playing and we are working to replace the canceled dates. Now our team is primarily concerned with setting the record straight on the grossly inaccurate portrait of Buju being painted by certain organizations and systematically relayed to the masses and the media.

Buju Banton was all of 15-years-old when he wrote "Boom Bye Bye" in response to a widely publicized man/boy rape case in Jamaica. It was not a call to violence. The song was re-released on a popular dancehall rhythm in 1992 and caused a huge uproar after receiving commercial radio play in the States. Following much public debate back then, prominent gay rights leaders - and Buju decidedly moved on. For the record, it is the only song he ever made on the subject - and he does not perform it today.

Those who have followed Buju Banton's musical journey and have actually listened to his extensive catalog, know of his development into a world-class singer, songwriter and performer who can quietly sell out such prestigious venues as the Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York and Brixton Academy in London. He does not advocate violence. There has never been a shred of violence at any of his live shows. In fact, he commonly preaches against violence - against all people.

Since of late, all eyes are now placed on Bounty Killer and Vybz Kartel because of the newly developed lyrical clash between both deejays.

This lyrical warfare started off with Bounty Killer taking the first "punch" at Vybz Kartel in a song called Chatter Box. A few days later Vybz Kartel released a counteraction titled Bownty's Killa - Bounty then replied suggesting that Vybz Kartel's counteraction is a Wata Chune.

With the released of Chatter Box, Bownty's Killer and Wata Chune, both Gaza and Alliance fans got excited - now anxiously awaiting for the big clash between Bounty Killer and Vybz Kartel at the world’s greatest one night dancehall/reggae show Sting. However, those thoughts will have to be erased as Vybz Kartel has announced that he will not be clashing with any outdated artiste, as the last outdated artiste he faced off with was Ninja Man.

The Teacha also suggested that back then, it was Bounty and Beenie's time now it's time for Gaza and Gully as Alliance era has come to an end. Vybz Kartel also requested that Bounty should go and ride Bling Dawg and get off his back.

According to few industry insiders, they believed that this is what dancehall is all about lyrical clash that's how it has been from day one and so shall it be in the end. They also mentioned that without the lyrical feud dancehall is no fun.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Wycliffe 'Steely' Johnson. His passing is a tremendous loss to the Dancehall industry, and a tremendous loss to me personally -- Steely is the man who sparked my love of music and inspired me to be a selector.

Talk to anyone who grew up with me, and they'll tell you that I idolized Steely from Silver Hawk Sound. When I struggling to establish myself as a selector in the early days, I adopted the name 'Steelie' with the goal to one day have my own sound and be at the top of the game -- like Steely.

As part of the legendary production team Steely & Clevie, Steely gave us those signature sounds like the Punanny Rhythm, the Street Sweeper Rhythm, Skettel...Nine Night...Sniper...Sleepy Dog...I could go on and on and on. He was part of the genius behind Dancehall classics like Shabba's "Ting-A-Ling," and "Twice My Age;" "Sorry" by Foxy Brown; "Double Trouble" by Beres Hammond; "Boops" by Supercat; "Murder Dem" by Ninja Man; "Ram Dancehall" by Tiger; "Hot Gyal Today" by Sean Paul & Vegas...and that's not even the half.

KINGSTON, JAM - (Pen2Paper Creative Concept.) -Damian Codlin 'aka' D-Major has been obsessed by musical sounds since birth. The term D-Major, comes from the musical key of "D", which is a major scale based on the note "D" and is a key signature consisting of two sharps. Many classical composers, by individuals such as Mozart, used D-Major as the Key is regarded as "the key of glory" and is often "represented in gold".

His first endeavor in the field of music was a member of a quintet called Q-T (Quality and Togetherness), however Damian didn't choose his name because of all the accolades, but the name came shortly after his split with Q-T. It was at the practice for performance, that a member of the band, inquired what note the song was in, and a member replied "D-MAJOR", seeing that his name is Damian, he adopted the D and added Major, hence D-Major.

He cites his musical influences from icons such as Sam Cooke, Beres Hammond, Stevie Wonder and R-Kelly, all whom have produced a passion that has driven him to pursue music as his lifestyle. This was satisfying and again his thirst drove him to want more. He recorded singles such as 'People Make The World Go Round,' Among The Angels,' 'Sunshine,' and 'Won't Separate.'

Determined not to fall into the iron balloon category of the local music industry, Clive Buchanan aka Iyador formerly known as Pitiless, has taken a new direction with his music and his image. The talented Rastafarian deejay who hails from the hills of Clarendon, has been trying to make a name for him self in the music biz since the mid 90s. Iyador recorded his first single Sing Song in 1995 under the stage name Pitiless for the Brown Brothers label. He also recorded several other songs for the label.

A few years later in 2007 he formed a group with two other artists Cuban & Yanky P, the group was called Unity. Together they recorded several singles before breaking up a year later. Most notable of these singles was Hot Girl which featured Alibra. Iyador has also performed on several major stage shows such as Reggae Resurrection and Dancehall Rock.

G Whizz is definitely loving his new lifestyle after he cried "Mi Life Soon Sort Out," in his breakout single Life which is still the #1 song on the prestigious OutAroad Top 20 Hot Singles Chart.

Vybz Kartel is still holding strong in the #2 spot with the controversial single Completely (Kartel Come Breed Mi) ft. Indu while the newest entry into the top ten is "From Mawning" done by Chino, which is also the Greatest Gainer for this week jump three places from #12 to nine.

The recently crowned King of The Dancehall Beenie Man's new single Ever Clean is the only to be added to the chart making its debut at #20

Reggae songstress, Etana, is in preparation mode as she works out her set for Irie Jamboree, North America's premier reggae festival.

One of the top female acts billed for this annual, highly-anticipated event, Etana excited fans at the New York launch of the festival earlier this month when she gave them a hint of what she would unleash at the Labour Day event. Scheduled to take place on Sunday, September 6 at York College Outdoor Complex in Queens, NY, Irie Jamboree will feature a galaxy of stars, all of whom are expected to shine brightly. But, for Etana, who has distinguished herself on many local and international stages, the focus will remain constant - pleasing her ever-growing number of fans.

"At the end of the day, it is really all about making the fans happy and giving them value for money," she explains. "We must remember that we are in a recession and when people spend their hard-earned dollar to come and see you perform we have to appreciate that and give thans. It is therefore my duty to give them my best … always," she emphasizes.

Once again, Quez the Champion has defeated her opponent to make it week #3. Quez will now face off with Simone (Challenger). Will Quez be able to make it week #4?
