Gramps Morgan is stepping out of the box of what is expected of a reggae artist to do the unthinkable- an album with a COUNTRY music twist.  Actually its not so bizarre, music is music, and there might be someone out there whose two favorite genre’s are reggae and country and so this is heaven to them, like BLAKROC is to me.

Okay, so what’s really going on with Tanbad, Ms Thing and Director (at Terminal 4 Media with Psycho), Jay Jay?  Looks like both of them are Psycho’s women and ah jus so it go.

I dont see whats the big deal about them being topless- they are on a topless beach in St Maarten. I done pree that a lot of us women that are hating are doing so because we dont have the guts to make this move. Now posting them to facebook (they are on Psycho and Ms Thing’s pages), obviously they were awaiting exactly this- the media and blogosphere creating a frenzy around it.

A few of the pics disappeared from Tanbad’s facebook page since yesterday, lucky for us, they were already circulating. Check out the last two photos!!!!

MULTIPLE Grammy winning artiste Ziggy Marley, is so passionate about showing respect to the musical trailblazers and ensuring that their legacy is cherished and passed on to the next generation, that he has produced the first in a series called Dancehall Originators Vol 1.

“These youngsters today don’t know enough about the music, where it originated, the who’s who … the veterans who made it happen and the riddims that played such an integral role in the success of the whole thing. It’s important that we understand the past … the legacy, so that we can build and shape the present and the future,” the eldest son of icon Bob Marley declared.

It was out of this realisation that the Dancehall Originators project was born. Ziggy says he threw out the idea to his sister Cedella and VP Records’ Christy Barber and they were both sold and put their all into seeing the project come to life.

The album, a compilation of original dancehall mixes and which also features the ground-breaking Hot This Year riddim, was released last month. Dancehall Originators Vol 1 consists of tracks by Dirtsman, Peter Metro featuring Tanto Metro, Coco Tea, U-Roy and George Nooks, Charlie Chaplin, Chaka Demus, Yellow Man, Pinchers, General Trees and Buju Banton. There is also a Taking You Back Mega Mix, by DJ Roy of Road International.

“It’s all about showing gratitude,” he reiterated, while adding that in other cultures this is the norm.

“Reggae music is very valuable to us and we need to treat it with the respect that it deserves,” he said.

Regarding his recent Grammy win — his fifth — for the album, Family Time, a compilation of children’s songs and which features heavy hitters such as Paul Simon, Jamie Lee Curtis, Rita Marley and Laurie Berkner, Ziggy said he was “very happy”.

“I feel good about this Grammy, especially since it’s in a different category from what we are used to. I give thanks for the recognition and realise that this means more hard work as we show the world the versatility that lies within us as reggae musicians and singers,” he said.

Family Time won in the category, Best Musical Album for Children.

*After four false starts, Lil Wayne was finally taken away in handcuffs to begin his year-long jail term for attempted criminal possession of a weapon.

The rapper was sentenced in Manhattan Monday, where he’ll serve his sentence in city jails, not a state prison. He could be released in about eight months with good behavior.

The Grammy Award-winning rapper, born Dwayne Carter, pleaded guilty in October to having a loaded .40-caliber semiautomatic gun on his tour bus in 2007.

Before Monday’s court appearance, it had proved difficult to actually begin Weezy’s agreed-upon sentence.

His first sentencing was postponed in February so he could undergo surgery on his jewel-encrusted teeth. Then, a fire shut down Manhattan’s main criminal courthouse while he was on his way there last week – causing two more delays.

City jail officials haven’t said where the multiplatinum-selling artist will be housed among their roughly 13,000 inmates. His lawyer has said she plans to ask for protective custody out of concern for his safety and health following his extended oral surgeries.

The family of Cedric Im Brooks would like to take the time to thank all his fans and well wishers for their out pouring of love and tremendous support in these real trying times. We would also like to take this time to keep all concerned abreast of his situation.
