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.

Dancehall artiste Chino and Alaine have released a new sultry single, which is sure to raise more than a few eyebrows. The new single, Secret Lovers, pays homage to the love Chino and Alaine's two characters share, but more so keeping it a secret in the rough-and-tumble world of entertainment. Should we believe what we hear? According to Chino whose correct name is Daniel McGregor: "Me and Alaine mad cool. We have mutual respect and love for each other. She is extremely talented and the feeling is mutual on her part ;hence us doing this song was very easy and natural."

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. ]]> http://www.outaroad.com/2009/11/reggae_star_buju_banton_wraps.html http://www.outaroad.com/2009/11/reggae_star_buju_banton_wraps.html Buju Banton Buju Banton Fri, 06 Nov 2009 13:53:23 -0500 "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. ]]> http://www.outaroad.com/2009/11/no_games_sold_1100_units_relea.html http://www.outaroad.com/2009/11/no_games_sold_1100_units_relea.html Serani Serani Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:03:38 -0500 Mavado's Birthday Bash "Jagra - Real McKoy," will have an international flavour this year with the addition of crooner Bobby Valentino, who is sure to bring the females out in their droves.

"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.
