Thought I'd Update Ya

Christopher Martin - Paper Loving

This tune is big! Tearing down Caribbean and Kenya on next levels. One of the underrated singers in Jamaica. Good to see he lives outside.



Shaggy featuring Mavado - Girlz Dem Luv We

Shaggy's back with another video. He's going in this year. "Your Eyes Only" with Alaine, now this. Mavado's going hard with the visuals as well; Star Bwoy, this, Category 5 riddim medley, and the one I'll post after this one.

Check for the cameo of UK rapper/MC/pop star Chipmunk at 3:23



Chipmunk featuring Mavado - "Every Gyal"

Posted the audio before, said I didn't think it was great. Has grown on me, but I still don't think it's anything special. Still big up Chipmunk for doing this though. Don for that.



Gaza Slim - "One Man/Moving On"

Finally, we have a video for "One Man". Has been killing dancefloors for almost a year now. She is much better looking than Sheba. Kartel, work with her more. Thanks.



Beyoncé - "Move Your Body"

I watched the Beyonce vid waiting for the direct dancehall influence (whole thing was indirect). And yes, I buss a gun finger when it happened. What's going on with Beyoncé rehashing stuff? First, Major Lazer's "Pon Di Floor", now re-licking her own "Get Me Bodied".

EDIT: "Beyonce has teamed up with Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move! campaign which has been set up to help fight against childhood obesity in America."



Last but not... actually it is least. It isn't dancehall or dancehall inspired.

Tinchy Stryder featuring Dappy - "Spaceship"

Right so, everyone was hyping this on Sunday claiming "Tinchy's back!" after the failure of his last album (his words "Tinchy told BBC Newsbeat: "To be honest, how I wanted people to hear it, it might not have got to as many people.", not necessarily mine). Funny how none of them said he was gone (in public) though lol (whether I did can be found on my blog somewhere). Anyway, I listened to it. First thought "Why's his voice like that?" Second thought "This beat is a rip of Rihanna's 'What's My Name'". Listen to it, similar pattern, similar chord stabs just a different progression. Oh and it's faster. Oh yeah, last thing, second verse contains Vybz Kartel's "Oh" in the form of an "Ah". Still, I wish Tinchy all the best. He's a good guy.

Marvin Sparks x Raekwon interview

Wu-Tang's in-house "Chef" better known as Raekwon proved he is still a force to be mentioned alongside the hottest rappers in the hip hop game with the release of Only Built For Cuban Linx... pt. II - sequel to his 1995 debut album. Marvin Sparks caught up with the hip hop legend to discuss rapping for drug dealers, people caring "more about stats than raps", his inclusion in MTV's Top 10 Hottest Rappers list, and converting to Islam. Marvin Sparks: It has been almost fifteen years since the first Only Built For Cuban Linx, an album that was a 5-mic classic when The Source magazine held weight. Why did you decide make a sequel?

Why Cheetah Woods, whhyyyy?!?!?!

We must all know about the predator nyamin woman (no bowcat reference intended - or am I lying? *shudders*). Anyone heard the voicemail he left for the girl he's been PARrin (there was a golf reference there) his wife with? Easy now my selekta as we rinse some tunes for di one name Tiger. Man like him doesn't know how to play. (By The Endz not Ruff Sqwad) How you gonna leave a voicemail for a girl with your real name at the beginning? Do you want to be held to ransom? Man from 'the ends' know (in the words of Kano) "That's slippin'!" And when isht hits the fan (like it has) he's buggered. Not something I deal in but surely the point of cheating is for an assortment of ladies. All his ones look the same; blonde, no breast nor batty. Rachel Uchitel bawlin at the scene of 9/11 where her man (fiancee/boyfriend/husband) died The chick whose sold his voicemail on and can be heard above The wifey (why cheat on her with the ones above I'll never kno

Remember When Riddims Were King

Before you read, thank you for your interest and hope you enjoy. I actually fleshed it out into a book. You can get your copy from www.nolongstories.com   Now for what you came here for... When Riddims Were King 23rd May 2020 will be remembered in history for one of the most epic events in one of our universe's darkest times. We will never forget the night dancehall kings and former extremely heated rivals, Beenie Man and Bounty Killer, battled on the Verzuz platform built by hall-of-fame producers, Timbaland and Swizz Beatz. An unfiltered, 360-degree view on Jamaican dancehall events was showcased; DJ’s and dancing (Beenie Man’s daughter Desha Ravers) to deejay’s clashing on the same riddims. The latter elements provided the jewels in the night’s highlight reel, and undoubtedly the best thing to happen on the Verzuz series. Word spread like guava jelly within the dancehall community and Jamaican diaspora upon announcement. Not only was it a clash between the longest and fier
