The song which throws lyrical punches at Vybz Kartel is a counteraction to the previously released Gal A Whe Mi Do Yuh? (Do Mi Dat) by Vybz Kartel featuring Sheba.
In the latter song, the character Sheba plays a fed-up girlfriend who adamantly says she will be seeking revenge on Kartel's cheating character. Sheba's character also throws Spice in the mix, singing: "Mi have a strong feeling say yuh touch Spice", to which Kartel responds, "Me and Spice ting, ah fren sum'n."
In her counteraction, Spice has a lot to say on the matter. She deejays, "Everyting yuh do me, mi ah go chattie back. Yuh did a look mi yuh cyaan say a lie dat." The feisty rendition also has the lines: "Yuh a beg mi fi lef mi baby fadah an mek mi an yuh married and ting..."; she goes on to highlight a text she has on her phone as proof.

Reggae Star Buju Banton Wraps Historic Rasta Got Soul Us Tour In The Sun Shine Statetag:www.outaroad.com,2009://1.22492009-11-06T18:53:23Z2009-11-06T19:03:14Z Gargamel Music, Inc. is proud to announce that four-time Grammy nominated Reggae icon Buju Banton successfully wrapped the final leg of his Rasta Got Soul US Tour with a string of successful dates in the Sunshine State last week....outAroadGargamel Music, Inc. is proud to announce that four-time Grammy nominated Reggae icon Buju Banton successfully wrapped the final leg of his Rasta Got Soul US Tour with a string of successful dates in the Sunshine State last week. The roots rocking revue, which featured opening acts Gramps Morgan of Morgan Heritage, vocalists Nikki Burt and Angel Shalome, plus special guest Wayne Wonder, steered its way into Florida for five stellar performances in Melbourne, Jacksonville, Tampa, Miami and Orlando.
In just seven short but eventful weeks, Banton, backed by his Shiloh Band, played jam packed venues in Philadelphia, Bladensburg, Providence, New Haven, Portland, Boston, Rochester, Newark, Charlotte, Norfolk, Ann Arbor, Cincinnati, Columbus, Denver, Aspen, Berkeley, San Francisco, Santa Rosa, Los Angeles, San Diego, Albuquerque, Dallas, Austin, Houston and Atlanta. Despite the misguided efforts to derail his musical movement, Buju Banton's Rasta Got Soul US Tour proved unstoppable with nearly 30,000 fans attending 32 shows across the country, making it the biggest-selling Reggae tour of the year.
]]>
Rasta Got Soul US Tour also served as the perfect backdrop to lens an accompanying video clip for Buju's rousing new single "Optimistic Soul" and a special behind-the- scenes documentary short entitled This Is Buju Banton. Gargamel Music partnered with esteemed Atlanta-based photographer/videographer Zach Wolfe (www.zachwolfe.com), who simultaneously shot and directed both projects guerrilla style.
Meanwhile, the Florida chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) publicly chided the gay community for trying to silence Buju Banton for "Boom Bye Bye," a twenty-year-old song that he does not promote, perform or profit from today. "It is disheartening that some of our colleagues in the gay and lesbian equality movement have embraced censorship as a tactic," begins the official statement recently printed in the Op Ed section of the Miami Herald. "This is terribly short-sighted: Giving the government the power to censor messages it thinks are dangerous never advances the cause of equality and freedom."
The Rasta Got Soul US Tour was sponsored by The Fader (www.thefader.com). Buju's critically acclaimed new album, Rasta Got Soul (Gargamel Music), is available in stores and online.]]>

"It's tough out there but we are remaining positive and focused on developing Serani as an artist and a brand," said Julian Jones-Griffith, Serani's manager, in the aftermath of shifting a little over 1100 units first week of his debut album, No Games. "We are lucky that we have venture partners who believe in Serani, will stay the course and roll out a third single. They share our vision of artist development and breaking him in new markets. When you think, how far Serani has come in terms of profile and mainstream airplay in under 2 years as an artist it's a phenomenal achievement and hes out-paced many acts who have been on the scene for years. We're closing in on 100,000 single downloads overall since we rolled out, which is huge, and I'm confident we will get where we want to go."
In a climate where album sales have been culled dramatically in the space of a few short years, everybody has felt the brunt of the decline. Sean Paul came off the back of 4 million sold and did 28k first week. Sony rolled out 225,000 units first week for Sean Kingston on the strength of a huge Billboard hit and he shifted less than 15,000.
]]>
Jones-Griffith. "Radio is a problem but it’s compounded at retail where it’s almost impossible to get product in stores. We bought ourselves out of the Universal Republic deal about 2 months ago and did a straight distribution deal with Razor & Tie, who went through Sony. Sony of course just got burnt from the 200,000 Sean Kingston returned CDs so we ended up getting calls from all over our strong markets that the CD just wasn’t in stores for people to buy. We're presently addressing that and hope to re-solicit the product to retail early next year. We will build another radio story to help facilitate that and we are, as ever, working on that."
Serani signed a 4-album deal with Universal Republic earlier this year but quickly became unhappy with the way things were playing out. Trusting in label partner Phase One Communications Serani and his management agreed that the best route would be to buy themselves out of the Uni-Republic deal and move forward as an indie. No Games was released October 27 on Phase One Communications/Rockstone Media Group, a company jointly owned by Serani and his manager.
"In some ways we cut too good a deal for ourselves with Universal Republic," remarked Jones-Griffith. "They offered us a 360 deal with a healthy advance but knew the back- end would be minimal so we passed on that and cut a unique distribution-with-creative-services deal. I think Republic soon regretted that they would not be seeing the lion's share of profit that a major is used to so we found that we were still coming out of pocket to cover a lot of things going forward and quickly fell off their priority list. Phase One said let’s give back Universal what they've laid out and we won’t have to give up those points to them, which made sense in the bigger picture. So we took the brave decision to go it alone, drop the album in the 4th quarter and keep the forward movement going. We're going with Take Me Higher as the third single with which we will be going after Top 40."Serani is continuing to promote No Games across the country, rounding out his North East promotion this week with release parties in Jersey and different demographics in New York, before heading out to the Mid West, Atlanta, Florida and Canada. Trips to the UK and Haiti will round out a landmark year for Serani, who will undoubtedly carry this momentum into 2010.]]>

By Jessica Herndon
Nine months after her fight with Chris Brown, Rihanna finally opens up about the night that left her bruised and bloody.
"This happened to me. … It can happen to anyone," the singer, 21, tells Diane Sawyer in an interview airing Thursday on Good Morning America and on 20/20 on Friday.
Rihanna says it was particularly difficult because of the special place Brown held in her heart: "He was definitely my first big love."
Both singers have worked to move on. Brown is serving his sentence and working on new music, his album Graffiti will drop Dec. 15; and Rihanna is shaking things up with her edgy fashion and releasing her fourth album Rated R on Nov. 23. The album's first single "Russian Roulette" debuted last week.

Sizzla Kalonji and The Fire House Band recently embarked on a ten-week European Tour promoting album, Ghetto Youth-Ology. Already one week into the tour, Sizzla and the crew have performed excellent shows in Rotterdam, Geneva, and Groningen with over thirty more shows to go in Germany, Sweden, Holland, Denmark, Norway, Switzerland, Italy, and France.
Rave reviews have come in from the press in those areas amazed at how great Sizzla performed. The venues were packed to capacity representing all nationalities, genders, and religions sharing the music and love of this prolific Reggae artist. The rich sounds from The Fire House Band have the crowds excited and enjoying the music. The atmosphere is one of joy, peace, love, and unity. The messages in Sizzla Kalonji's music are uplifting, motivating, peaceful, yet urge the youth to strive and work hard for a better tomorrow.
]]>
Sizzla sings represent the cries from the Ghetto youth that continued to be marginalized and ignored by many. He focuses on many hot tracks off the new album including these favorites of former editor of Vibe Magazine Rob Kenner; "Stop It Right Now" is one of Sizzla's toughest tunes since his 2002 classic Da Real Ting. "Why are you fighting, my brothers?" he sings in a pained voice. "Why are you fighting, my sisters? Conspiring against one another, Babylon is a trickster." The song's chorus is an urgent, unambiguous rebuke of the gunplay: "War, crime, stop it right now…. The SLR, nine, go lock it right now."Sizzla takes the time to cater to the needs of his hungry fans by pulling from his catalogue of over 50 albums to include songs like Black Woman & Child, Thank You Mama, Woman I Need You and others. He even sings Beautiful, a song described by Chris Blackwell as brilliant and a masterpiece. Sizzla Kalonji gives the people a special treat, which includes the newest European favorite Crucial Times, featured on his upcoming album to be released later this year.]]>

Screams, teary eyes, and chorus like chants, greeted the lineup of musical ambassadors as they made their exit from the tour bus as it came to a halt on the compound of the Mannings High in Westmoreland recently.
It was week four of the RE School Tour, and it was the first time that the tour had travelled to the West.
With the threat of rain hugging the outskirts of the venue, the entertainers which included beat boxer Mixing Lab, dancehall's newest bad girl Stacious, gospel artistes Goddy Goddy and DJ Nicholas, Timberlee, Tifa, D Angel, I Octane, Konshens, Chino, G Whizz, Etana, Queen Ifrica and Alaine, all delivered exciting sets, spliced with the abstinence message.
]]>
Coke Zero, Claro, Mothers, and the National Family Planning Board enticed the more than 500 strong students with giveaways and promotional material, while Ministry of Education representative Matthew Mothersill utilized the latest dancehall rhythms in his presentation to the students.
Midway throughout the proceedings, the roar of thunder exploded and the rains came tumbling down. The students stood still and continued to absorb the messages being delivered by the entertainers.
Fourth form student Romario Melwood was so caught up in Etana's performance that he shed his shirt and pranced around the stage, making catcalls to the singer, as she gave in to his boyish antics and invited him to join her on stage. Melwood and another male student would repeat similar antics during Queen Ifrica's performance, much to the delight of the crowd.
'I love Etana, she is going to be my future wife. Queen Ifrica sell off. Mi want to come on the other school tours with RETV', Melwood shouted enthusiastically.
The female students were not left out of the fun, as just the mere mention of their names and their subsequent appearances, Konshens, G Whizz, Chino, I Octane, Goddy Goddy and DJ Nicholas drove the girls wild.
Queen Ifrica, who was making her first appearance on the tour, utilized her star power to administer a near five minute speech to the students about abstinence, the importance of getting a sound education and staying in school, and to leave matters reserved for adults, until they are older.
'This is the best of the RE School Tour this season and I am just loving it. The country schools have received us very well and I can't wait for the next season. Anywhere the tour is going, it could be Timbuktu, I will be there', Etana commented.
Tifa also concurred with Etana's comment. 'The country schools dem a di bomb. Seriously, the kids have really absorbed the message and they show us a lot of love. I'm loving every minute of it, because it gives us as entertainers a chance to see how our fans react to our work outside of Kingston'.
In between presentations, Jerry D's Vibes Machine provided momentary musical relief for the students who displayed the latest dance moves, while RETV host Snoop Roc engaged the students and kept them on a high with sponsor goodies.
The RE School Tour is a presentation of RETV and Three Sixty Promotions and Marketing. The tour airs on RETV Saturdays at 2:30 PM with a repeat at 7 PM. It also airs on TVJ Saturdays at 4:30 PM with a repeat on Thursdays at 5:30 PM.]]>

Both singers have worked to move on. Brown is serving his sentence and working on new music, his album Graffiti will drop Dec. 15; and Rihanna is shaking things up with her edgy fashion and releasing her fourth album Rated R on Nov. 23. The album's first single "Russian Roulette" debuted last week.

Midway throughout the proceedings, the roar of thunder exploded and the rains came tumbling down. The students stood still and continued to absorb the messages being delivered by the entertainers.
Fourth form student Romario Melwood was so caught up in Etana's performance that he shed his shirt and pranced around the stage, making catcalls to the singer, as she gave in to his boyish antics and invited him to join her on stage. Melwood and another male student would repeat similar antics during Queen Ifrica's performance, much to the delight of the crowd.
'I love Etana, she is going to be my future wife. Queen Ifrica sell off. Mi want to come on the other school tours with RETV', Melwood shouted enthusiastically.
The female students were not left out of the fun, as just the mere mention of their names and their subsequent appearances, Konshens, G Whizz, Chino, I Octane, Goddy Goddy and DJ Nicholas drove the girls wild.
Queen Ifrica, who was making her first appearance on the tour, utilized her star power to administer a near five minute speech to the students about abstinence, the importance of getting a sound education and staying in school, and to leave matters reserved for adults, until they are older.
'This is the best of the RE School Tour this season and I am just loving it. The country schools have received us very well and I can't wait for the next season. Anywhere the tour is going, it could be Timbuktu, I will be there', Etana commented.
Tifa also concurred with Etana's comment. 'The country schools dem a di bomb. Seriously, the kids have really absorbed the message and they show us a lot of love. I'm loving every minute of it, because it gives us as entertainers a chance to see how our fans react to our work outside of Kingston'.
In between presentations, Jerry D's Vibes Machine provided momentary musical relief for the students who displayed the latest dance moves, while RETV host Snoop Roc engaged the students and kept them on a high with sponsor goodies.
The RE School Tour is a presentation of RETV and Three Sixty Promotions and Marketing. The tour airs on RETV Saturdays at 2:30 PM with a repeat at 7 PM. It also airs on TVJ Saturdays at 4:30 PM with a repeat on Thursdays at 5:30 PM.]]>
