World Boss Vybz Kartel to return to Court Thursday

KINGSTON (Observer): The second murder case against caged deejay Vybz Kartel, was stood down this morning in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court because a co-accused was not brought to court by the police. Resident Magistrate Georgianna Fraser put off the matter until Calvin Haye, who is charged along with Kartel for the murder of Clive Williams also called 'Lizard', is taken to court by police. Haye was brought to shortly after. Dressed in white shirt, purple tie and black pants, Kartel was brought into court shackled to another inmate. He sat watching this morning's proceedings from inside a holding area and was seen conversing with other prisoners. VYBZ Kartel and his co-accused Calvin Haye were remanded into custody until Thursday when they appeared in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court this morning.

Kartels 'Wife' Mum..and Fans still support Vybz Kartel

KINGSTON (Star): There was more drama outside the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's court yesterday as Vybz Kartel's family and followers streamed out yet again to show their support for the incarcerated entertainer. The comments that some of the fans had to say about the self proclaimed World Boss were very interesting. Vybz Kartel's common law wife, Tanesha 'Shorty' Johnson turned up at the court house along with her relatives and members of Vybz Kartel's entourage. She told the news paper that she was advised not to give any more comments to the media, however, she did mention that she was okay and that the children were doing well. "I can't do anymore interview until I understand fully what is going on but I am fine," she said. Her cousin Kesha also intervened saying, "The lawyer sey she nuffi give no comment, the kids are okay and she is okay and that's that, no further comment," she said. Shorty had recently told the media in an interview on DRAP, that the children were traumatised about the situation. Shorty also said that Vybz Kartel's mother had collapsed as a result of her son's imprisonment. "Based upon all this lock up thing, the kids dem traumatised bad because di morning when dem come them carry him from the hotel come a di house, and ma big son Adijah Palmer him start cry and run up and dung and all a dat. Akeel (Kartel's other son) guh to school, mi get a call from him teacher sey mi muss come fi him because him just keep on crying. Wey dem have him (Vybz Kartel) suh long fah, him need fi come home now to him children dem, cuz him children worried bout him an him is a loving father," she said in the interview. Some of the persons who stood in the sun, hoping to get a glimpse of Kartel, and not surprisingly they all pleaded his innocence. "Gaza mi sey, leggo offa mi artiste, Vybz Kartel a my man a him put mi to sleep, if my man nuh sey Gaza mi nuh want him, him haffi come out a mi house," said one female fan. Another Gaza supporter who wished to have her name withheld told THE STAR that Vybz Kartel was a victim of the system. "The system corrupt, him innocent, them have some man inna jail fi all three, six years straight and dem cyaah find nutting, why dem hate him we don't know, a spite dem a spite him," the obviously upset female said. Despite all the drama on the outskirts, Vybz Kartel was remanded in custody, and is slated to appear again at the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's court on Monday, October 31, to be tried on charges of Marijuana possession.

Vybz Kartel Book Still to Be Published

KINGSTON (RJR): Although dancehall artiste Vybz Kartel is behind bars, his team is hard at work. The publishers of Kartel’s book have decided that they are going ahead with the release of the book Voice of the Jamaican Ghetto in time for the Christmas holidays. In a statement the publishers said there was never doubt on their part as to whether they were going to complete production of the book as they believe it has a very powerful message that Jamaica must be aware of. According to the publicist, they originally planned for the book to be launched next year but Kartel had tried to advance the release date for this summer as his writing was complete. "The book has been in editors’ hands before the summer holidays and we have been waiting to block some promotional time with the ace deejay. However, (that) was not (possible) as a result of Kartel’s busy schedule with several performances and his reality television show ‘Teacher’s Pet’ and now (his) current legal situation derailed those plans," the publishers statement said. In the Voice of the Jamaican Ghetto, Vybz Kartel, whose given name is Adidjah Palmer, speaks of poverty and a number of other social issues and according to the publishers release “readers will be surprised to read the things Kartel would have changed in his career and his true feelings about many other Reggae/Dancehall artistes; but most importantly, Kartel elaborates on the Jamaica he ‘visions’."

According to reports from UrbanIslandz, Mavado and the Young Money rapper will shortly be releasing a joint album; combining dancehall and hip-hop. The collaborative album bears similarities to Distant Relatives, the joint effort by reggae superstar, Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley and American hip-hop veteran Nas that was released in May 2010. A source within Mavado’s Gullyside camp revealed the news to the online source intimating that the new album will be done through the conduit of DJ Khaled’s label, We The Best Music Group. It was also revealed that since Mavado returned to the United States and signed with DJ Khaled, there are a number of collaboration requests coming in from several rappers.

I-Wayne has a New Album 'Life Teachings'

(AP) I-Wayne, "Life Teachings" (VP Records) "Life Teachings" is the long overdue third album from reggae star I-Wayne, and the singer is back with a display of real roots, continuing to mix the political with the romantic. The 14-track album, mostly produced by Patrick Z. Henry, takes you on a journey of love and righteousness, and is filled with rhythms and bass lines that blend perfectly with his incredible voice. Album opener "Burn Down Sodom" is bold and self-explanatory, and the powerful title track touches on common roots matters such as taking down Babylon, and "Herb Fi Legalize" does the same praising marijuana. In comparison, tracks such as "Life Joy," a collaboration with Etana, gives the record an element of R&B, and "Empress Divine" adores the "perfect woman," showcasing I-Wayne's romantic side. The album wouldn't be complete without an infusion of dancehall and that comes courtesy of "The Fire Song," featuring special guest Assassin, whose rough tone compliments I-Wayne's softness. Overall, "Life Teachings" is one of the better contemporary reggae albums to be heard in a while, and out of his trio of records, this one is by far the strongest, with its fearless songwriting and neat production. Comparisons to reggae greats are certain, but not premature. Old and new listeners alike should be excited.

October 26 Vybz Kartel..court date

KINGSTON (Star): Controversial deejay Vybz Kartel, whose real name is Adidja Palmer, is expected to return to court on Wednesday, October 26. The deejay, who was recently charged with two other men, was remanded in the Gun Court section of the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court on Friday, October 15. Nigel Thompson and Linberg McDonald have been jointly charged with the artiste for the July murder of Barrington Burton in Gregory Park, St Catherine. The Portmore Star understands that a bail application was not made by his attorneys because of the failure to serve them with a particular statement that was allegedly given to the public defender by one of the witnesses in the case. The controversial artiste was charged with murder, conspiracy to murder and illegal possession of a firearm on October 3. It is alleged that on July 11, Kartel along with other men conspired to murder Barrington 'Bossie' Burton, a 27-year-old businessman/promoter of a Gregory Park address in St Catherine. Burton was murdered while he was standing with friends along Walkers Avenue in Gregory Park.

Lady Saw Non Appearance pissed off Switz Fans

Switzerland (Reggae Reuters, Lyss):It would appear that, in another brazen show of indifference to the people that put money in her pocket, “Lady” Saw has once again “dissed” her fans by cancelling a concert at the eleventh hour. The concert in question, planned for tonight in Lyss, Switzerland will not now go ahead. “Cultural Events”, the concert organizers, pleaded that they only found out from Marion “Lady Saw” Hall late on Wednesday that she was not going to be turning up at the event which was organized over a month ago. In what is increasingly becoming the Dancehall Diva’s version of the “the dog ate my homework” Lady Saw apparently had “problems with the visa”. Soundbwais “Lion Powa Soundsystem” who were scheduled to support, were left disappointed with the event now not proceeding. While bearing no animosity, they were quick to lay the blame at Ms. Hall’s door. “Lady Saw didn’t get the visa!” was all they were prepared to say on the record. They remain upbeat, however, looking forward to supporting the arrival of the reliable Chuck Fenda in November. One disappointed fan we contacted, no stranger to being disappointed by Jamaican artists in the past, laid out his case as follows: “These dancehall ‘stars’ let the fame go to their heads. I was looking forward to Lady Saw on Friday, never having seen her live before. Now all I have is the bill for a hotel room in Lyss that I won’t even be sleeping in. It was too late to get a refund, once I heard the concert was cancelled.” And what did the Lady herself have say to her hordes of disappointed fans? She declined to comment. “Quelle surpise?” as they will no doubt be saying in Switzerland tonight. She did however find time to comment are far weightier issues on her twitter feed: “Listening to my new song love sick over N over while cooking rice and peas and fish sweet” – 19 Oct. “About to clean my bathroom now just now then watch some tv .” – 20 Oct. And of course: “Mi tune dem harder than any man dick yah now trust mi” - Oct. 20. Classy. It’s seems that this is yet another dancehall star who, in Buju’s sage words, “neva did a check fi lay di foundation”. Let us hope, for her sake, that she learns her lesson, before “things change”.

Popcaan Black Ryno Beef Analysis

Black Ryno and a Girl
Dancehall artistes Black Ryno and Popcaan have been at odds since Ryno left the Portmore Empire camp and recorded the Gaza diss song Mi Lef in 2010. Popcaan counteracted the song with Dem Sell Wi Out and the two have been silent on the subject since. However, Ryno has recently recorded a song called Gaza Beating Stick, where he challenges Popcaan to a lyrical battle. In the song, Ryno sings, 'When yu si mi yu run like three likkle pig ... how badman fi name Popcaan ... him a country man from him born, put yu pon a country bus, guh back dung a St Thomas fi guh back guh plant pak choi ... when yu si di clang and the click if yu think yu bad flip.' The WEEKEND STAR contacted Black Ryno and according to the artiste Popcaan threw lyrical jabs at him in a recent song called Nuh Box Pon Jaw where he says, 'Badman nuh tek box pon jaw ... all now some bwoy sey dem bad and cyaah defeat wi doe ... mi have a thing wey mi walk wid, tek wey yu three points mek some bwoy haffi play zero.' According to Ryno, he knows that Popcaan is dissing him because certain things happened in Gaza that Popcaan knows about. "When I heard the song, mi know sey a me him a talk because a whole heap a thing happen inna Gaza," he said. According to Ryno, he heard that people were looking forward to seeing a face-off at Sting and he was not ruling that out. "If a artiste a style mi, mi wi run een an deal wid it ... but mi jus a gwaan watch dem now," he said. Ryno says he only answered the song to show that he was no weak fence, because Jamaicans would assume that he was a coward if he didn't. The artiste says that at Sting persons can expect the same Black Ryno and if it's war, then it's war. "Wi nuh tek long fi sic, suh if a war a war," he said. The WEEKEND STAR made several attempts to get a comment from Popcaan on the matter, but his phones went unanswered. However, sources close to the deejay said that he was busy at a video shoot. Black Ryno's song Gaza Beating Stick has not yet been officially released, and was was produced by Mark Myrie, Not Buju Banton...LOL but the son of reggae/dancehall icon Buju Banton.

Son of Peter Tosh Roots for Embattled Vybz Kartel

CROSS ROAD (Observer): EMBATTLED dancehall artiste Vybz Kartel has got much empathy from what could be deemed rather unusual quarters — Dave McIntosh, the son of reggae great Peter Tosh. Taking a philosophical approach, the young Tosh, speaking at his father's birthday symposium on Wednesday, at the Undercroft, UWI, drew on his father's lyrics — "You cyann blame di youths," to contextualise his feelings for Kartel. What makes it even more profoundly interesting, was Dave Tosh, told the well-attended forum that he was contemplating doing some remakes of his father's work, including You Cyaan Blame Di Youths, which he announced, would feature Vybz Kartel. "I hear a lot of people come up and they talk about the song, You Cyaan Blame Di Youths, and it kinda touch mi, because is a song weh mi love mi self. And it means a lot to mi. In recent times, our business manager planning on doing some remasters with Peter's music. So one of the ting we did plan to do, was to remaster some songs such as Legalise It, You Cyaan Blame Di Youths, and in talking to them me make a suggestion. Mi look pon dem and seh, you know sey me have the top artiste of Jamaica fi put pon You Cyaan Blame Di Youths right now. And dem sey which artiste dat? — Mi sey Vybz Kartel." The response was mixed. A flag-waving Rastaman shouted "fire", while, for the most part, people found it amusing and chuckled for awhile. And there were those with expressions of deep contemplation. After everyone regained their composure, Dave continued. "It kinda sad that it never really happened. You see whe mi a deal wid. Because we hear everybody talk about a Peter Tosh or a Bob Marley as being icons, however, me can remember as a child growing up, they weren't much. Because they were old 'dutty-head' Rastas. You see it's the same way dem treat the youths even of today." He continued, "so if we cannot blame the youths for what is going wrong, or the wrongs or the ills that they are doing, then who can we blame? That is the question." With the theme of the function in honour of his father being -- Peter Tosh: Activist, Protagonist and Musical Genius: One of Jamaica's Unsung Heroes, in the spirit of Peter, Dave truly represented the 'Tosh' family. "So my job is really just to keep the family together, keep the estate together so that we can move forward together, seen. So on that note, really I am not the most liked person in the family. And the reason being, one of the ting I think, you see when Peter passed, we all (his children) had to go through what was known as a kinship hearing to prove that we were, in fact, his children. " But when they checked my DNA, they realised I was Peter himself. So dem nuh like mi," added Dave to uncontrollable laughter. The young Tosh also touched on the business of reggae. "Reggae music makes trillions of dollars annually globally. Is enough money fi have everybody in Jamaica living above the poverty line. Yet still, Jamaica don't own no part of reggae music. I think these things need to query. Because I see the MPs come together and they created all these enquires over time, and I think they need to enquire why Jamaica is not benefiting from reggae music... I don't see where Jamaica a benefit from reggae music. You go globally, and you hear dem sey Jamaica, reggae, reggae. Jamaica, Jamaica, but I don't see it here. Dave Tosh later revealed to Splash that he was planning a show dubbed: Tribute to Peter Tosh: You Cyaan Blame Di Youths, for which Vybz Kartel would have been the headliner. "If we had gone through with that, it wouldn't work out because we already know the position whe him inna right. Even me ask myself right now, why would a man like him put himself inna di position whe him inna. Comes right back to the Peter Tosh song — You Can't Blame Di Youth. Maybe you need fi go check him teacher, so is all dem little ting deh mi look pon,"

NUFFY 'I don't know Kartel as a bad person'

Nuffy
Kingston (Star): Controversial MC Nuffy has recorded a single dedicated to the incarcerated self- proclaimed dancehall hero Vybz Kartel. According to Nuffy, Vybz Kartel is innocent until proven otherwise. The song is called Muss Come A Road, and is produced by Feather Weight Records on the Gripe Water rhythm, which is soon to be released. The MC/artiste says that he is a loyal Gaza fan, and he won't switch like many have done since his incarceration. "Some people are wagonists, I'm a loyal person and Vybz Kartel is a good artiste, and I wouldn't want to see a good talent wasted. Some people just act like they are with you and when trouble tek yuh they disappear," he said. In the song, which is sure to cause some amount of controversy, Nuffy sings, 'Muss come a road Teacha, mi a duh deh one ya fi Adidja, to all a di gangsta wey nuh love informa, push up uno han because uno still sey Gaza. Mi si sey dem a try sell out di Empire, charge him fi diss, charge him fi dat ... mi si di 'Teacher's Pet' reigning, him lawyer big suh more crime them claiming, mi swear pon mi heart a frame dem a frame him.' According to Nuffy, he does not know Vybz Kartel as a badman. "I don't know Kartel as a bad person, and so I will support him all the way so that he can come out because his fans are waiting," he said. Nuffy claims that most persons who are rejoicing at Vybz Kartel's demise are plain jealous of his success. "He is my mentor in music and he came and changed music in Jamaica and a dat dem hate him fah, he is just a man like other people. Some people just hate the man because they can't be him," he said. According to Nuffy, Vybz Kartel is a boss and so he makes stern decisions like bosses do, and nothing is wrong with having rules. "If you don't want to have a boss, you leave, it's simple. Vybz Kartel is not a brutal person, but as a boss you have to be bossy, it's the same thing with politicians, you vote for them but they have to make stern decisions," he concluded. The song is slated to be released in early November and will be accessible on Facebook, YouTube and other media outlets. Nuffy is currently gearing up for Sting, where he is expected to perform the song

Ninja Man sets Man Free..after Dowsing the TV

KINGSTON (Star): The assault charge slapped on a man who was accused of hitting deejay Ninja Man with a stone was dropped in court yesterday. The man, Kevin 'Nashy' Maitland, was acquitted of the charge in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court. The allegation was that the deejay, whose real name is Desmond Ballentine, was knocked unconscious by the accused at the Horizon Adult Remand Centre in Kingston. It is alleged that on August 3, the deejay was walking to his cell when he was attacked. It is reported that Ninja Man was hit in the head with a stone that the accused had concealed in a sock. However, the deejay recently told the court he did not want to pursue the matter any further. He said he wasn't sure that it was Maitland who directly threw the stone and he had blamed him because he was the closest to him. The deejay said that he did not directly see the accused man throw the stone. The accused man had also denied the allegation and stated: "Your Honour, is a section with 48 man, an altercation was on the block, war between the whole block. Ninja Man dem throw water ina the TV and that cause the whole war." Ninja Man, 45, has been in custody since 2009, and is awaiting trial for murder.

Justin Bieber enters Reggae World?

KINGSTON (Observer): Teenage pop music sensation Justin Bieber seems to be working at capturing a few more hearts musically, with the release of his latest single, the reggae-inspired Christmas jam, Mistletoe. The catchy track is set to a one-drop rhythm, which features a heavy acoustic guitar influence. Bieber reportedly said he wanted to do "something that people haven't heard before." Partial sales from Under the Mistletoe, his Christmas album that is out November 1, will go to various charities, including Pencils of Promise and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. "Universal never actually allowed money from the album to go to charity, so it's kind of a unique thing and I'm very happy and proud of what we've done," the 17-year-old said in an interview from Lima, Peru, on Monday. Universal Music Group is the parent company to labels like Interscope Records and Island Def Jam Music Group. Its roster includes Eminem, Rihanna, Kanye West and Lady Gaga. Bieber said he isn't sure how much of the sales will go to charity, but thanks his team for helping him achieve his goal of wanting to help others during the holiday season. "I tell them basically what I want and they kind of go and help me get it done," said Bieber, who will also donate money to various food banks. Under the Mistletoe features collaborations with Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men, among others. He said he wanted to "work with people who had great experiences with Christmas albums." "They were all great people and fun to be around," said the Canadian-born entertainer, who appears on a "super festive" version of Carey's classic song All I Want for Christmas. Chris Brown co-wrote and co-produced the song Christmas Eve, which Bieber says "all the ladies will like." And there are also tunes featuring Usher and the country trio the Band Perry. They've been really successful and great in the country world, so I wanted to get them on my Christmas album and cross some barriers and try to get some different audience members to listen to my music," he said. Bieber, who also raps on the Busta Rhymes-assisted Drummer Boy, said he enjoys performing different styles of music. "I guess I can be pretty versatile — being able to do country music and put out a record of me rapping on the Internet," he said. "I just think that with the Internet, not a lot of artistes can be taken seriously if they try to change lanes and so I made it kind of apparent at first that I love to do everything and people kind of take me seriously when I switch over, so I'm really lucky to be able to have that."

Williams was one of three persons who were taken into custody along with the entertainer earlier this month after cops from the Flying Squad raided a hotel room in New Kingston where they were staying. A search of the room turned up a small quantity of ganja and the four were subsequently arrested and charged. Kartel has since been charged with murder, conspiracy to murder and illegal possession of a firearm in relation to the death of 27-year-old Barrington Burton o/c 'Bossie', a businessman/promoter of a Gregory Park address in St Catherine. Burton was murdered while he was standing with friends along Walkers Avenue in Gregory Park.

Andrew Blood upset About Rumour





Andrew Blood

Andrew Blood is quite upset ..that people are spreading rumour that he is dead. He is very much alive and well, no accident or nothing of the sort. Its not a good feeling for people to be doing this to him according to the Dj in a recent report. The DJ who is one of the sons of Junior Reid is indicating that people should refrain from spreading rumour about people in this fashion on the these social media devices, the twitter, facebook and bbm.
Andrew and Wadda Blood are known for taking swipes at top DJs in the business with little or no impact. Both seem to be on a low profile due to touring and studio work.

Elephant Man Escapes

Reports are that Elephant Man has escaped, perhaps by the skin of his teeth.., a law suit for items of designer clothing that he took from some fashion designer but some how forgot to pay for them. Indications are that Elaphant has turned over some of the money.. and therefore only just escapes the consequences of a law suit.
In recent times it would appear that elephant man has hit hard times, it was only this year the DJ was harassed by the Tax Man and there was some rumour swirling about the some bridge electricity situation.
It must be noted that the volume of tracks that Elephant man was putting over last 10-12 years has dramatically slowed down, im not sure if its because the dancers are now singing about their own dances depriving Elephant Man of that niche.

According to reports "A popular designer is planning to drag Elephant Man through the courts after claiming the Energy God owes him over one million dollars for designer clothing. The designer’s lawyer is already dealing with the matter. Ele who was reportedly served documents about the overdue bills has a few days to pay up or face legal action."

Kiprich - The Next Ninja Man

KINGSTON, Jamaica (Star): After destroying the Monster Empire at Sting on two occasions, Marlon Plunkett has been hailed as one of the most formidable clash deejays today. So revered has KipRich become, that Isaiah Laing, promoter of Sting, regards him as the new 'Don Gorgon'. According to Laing who spoke to THE STAR in a recent interview, KipRich is the new Ninja Man of Sting because of the artiste's ability to clash. "You can expect KipRich to war with anybody. He has lyrics and he is willing to go up against any artiste," the Sting promoter said. Kiprich indicated that..."A jus di work mi a duh, if Laing si dat inna fi him sight, mi accept it, but mi is a youth wey nuh inna self praise, mi jus a work fi di fans dem," While he says he is not one to praise himself, KipRich who came on the scene in the late 1990s, believes he can live up to the expectations that come with the lofty comparison. "As long as the work is here to be done, I will be here to keep working for the fans, mi a pree longevity, a music mi duh," he said. Despite the view that being compared to a dancehall icon is a compliment, the artiste explained that he did not want to be put in a bracket as a 'war-season artiste'. I am not a war-season artiste. I am always relevant. I have a lot to offer whether summer, winter or whenever. I just need the producers dem to send me di hot riddim dem right through the year, and mi can guarantee seh a hit song mi a put pon dem," he said. cording to KipRich, if he is to be seen as the new Don Gorgon of Sting, it must be the new and improved version. "Mi naah guh duh like Ninja Man, a must the new and improved version, mi a go be relevant right through the year, a nuh just the latter part," he told THE STAR. As it relates to his upcoming matchup against veteran deejay, Merciless, at this year's staging of Sting, KipRich says he is not nervous. "Mi nuh nervous a di war wid Merciless, mi nuh fraid a cow voice dat nuh move mi," he said confidently. The artiste also said that patrons can expect the unexpected at Sting. "Warfare is all about the element of surprise, mi nuh know what a guh through some man head, but mi nuh fear nuhbody," he said. KipRich recently released two new singles, Nuh Chatting produced by Good Productions and Hear Mi A Seh produced by Romeich Records. The artiste leaves the island next week for a European tour, where he will set foot in England, Sweden and Germany.

KINGSTON, Jamaica(Star): A week after the arrest of Gaza strong man Adidja 'Vybz Kartel' Palmer, rumours have already begun to surface in the music fraternity that the Gaza prefect 'Popcaan', has signed to Shocking Vibes. However, the dancehall artiste denies such allegations. "I work with Young Vibes Records' Jamie Roberts, that is Patrick Robert's son, but my management remains the same with Portmore Empire," he said. According to Popcaan, since the arrest of Vybz Kartel he has been conducting business through Patrick Roberts of Shocking Vibes, but it's not a contract agreement. "Patrick Roberts naah manage mi, a mi fren dem but a nuh no management ting, a Gaza mi sey," he said. The artiste says that Patrick Roberts will and can take phone calls on his behalf for bookings, but Gaza fans must not be quick to be judgmental. "I want the people to know this, don't get it twisted, I am not managed by Shocking Vibes, yu know seh Teacha nuh deh a road, and business still haffi gwaan but mi nuh lef Gaza, those are just silly rumours," he said.

Vybz Kartel Pleads Not Guilty

KINGSTON, Jamaica (Observer): VYBZ Kartel pleaded not guilty to a charge of possession of marijuana when his case was called up in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court today. His female companion Alicia Jackson, pleaded guilty to the charge and was fined $500 or thirty days for the offence. Kartel's attorney, Michael Deans, requested that the court drop the drug possession charge against his client. The request was flatly rejected by Senior Magistrate who ordered that the prosecution and defence should discuss the matter and come to a decision when the case is next mentioned on October 11, when a bail application is expected to made on his behalf. The artiste, who is known for his avid defense of skin bleaching, appeared to be regaining his original dark skin colour after a week in custody. He sat quietly inside the holding area for defendants on remand and listened intently to the cases that came before the court. He smiled broadly when a woman, who complained of being physically abused by her male spouse, begged the court to give the man a chance. Dressed in a grey suit with matching tie, the smile which was adorned the face of the deejay was missing as he was being pleaded and he maintained a stoic demeanor. Vybz Kartel is tentatively set to be brought back to court October 13 for the preliminary hearing into the charges of murder, conspiracy and illegal firearm possession which were laid against him earlier this week.

Ninja Man want charges dropped for Man that Busted his Head

KINGSTON, Jamaica (Observer) CONTROVERSIAL dancehall deejay Ninjaman, who in August reported that a fellow inmate had used a stone “to knock him out cold”, has asked the court to dismiss the case against his alleged attacker. The 48-year-old entertainer, whose real name is Desmond Ballentine, told Senior Corporate Area Magistrate Judith Pusey Tuesday that he wanted the assault charge against Kevin Maitland dropped, but the request was flatly denied. “...Unfortunately that is not your decision to make. I have to see the medical first,” Pusey told Ballentine. The artiste was attacked on August 3, allegedly by Maitland after returning to his cell at the Horizon Remand Centre in Kingston after taking a morning shower. Maitland, it is being alleged, used a stone that was in a sock to hit Ballentine on the forehead, rendering him unconscious. The case will again be mentioned on October 19.

Sting 2011

Its about .. let me see..roughly three months away... it is early October now..and Sting is late the December..the 26th to be exact. So we are looking at roughly 82 days from now before the anual stage show begins. Now because Sting is one of the biggest one night reggae and dancehall show on earth, it  was a clash show in its days of origin and more less so these days however the artiste these days still begs for clash show where they would compete and kill lyrically other artiste and their career at times.
Apart from the thrill of that... money is paid to hottest dancehall act to appear on the show by its promoter Mr Laing..and i suppose the artiste will get money for clashing.. if they meet the criteria. To meet this criteria for clashing of course you must be in a lyrical fued with some other artise ..such artiste should be recognizable...someone who is more or less prominent in the danchall ..like Bounty Killer.
Bounty Killer likes clashing, he is a dinosaur yes and so is the art of clashing. Its obvious that Matterhorn, Kiprich and now Fire Links (the selecta) not only want to be on the Sting 2011 show but they are making sure that they get clash money as well.

The entertainer was arrested on Friday morning at a small hotel in Kingston for illegal possession of marijuana. Three other persons who were in the company of the artiste were also arrested. However, the police have since widened the probe involving Kartel. Several houses owned and frequented by the artiste were searched by a strong joint police-military team on Friday. It follows the discovery of a partially burnt decomposing body at one of Kartel’s St. Andrew premises. The police said Kartel is to be questioned in relation to the discovery.

Bounty Killer "Concerned" about Vybz Kartel arrest

Bounty in the Vicinity of Hennessey
Bounty Killer appeared to a bit concerned about the fact that Vybz Kartel could be charged in relation to the body found on his property recently by the police...this I say because Bounty Killer recently tweeted that Kartel situation with his arrest and apparent evidence against him is "Not a good look yow a doh know hya". The is implying that the situation for Vybz Kartel is not looking to good and that police might have him like how they have Ninjaman. Its very rear that Bounty Killer express any favourable interest or concern for the Vybz Kartel who he refers to these days as Lady Gaza. We are more use to him bashing the bleacher... bashing the queer... bashing the tri-vestite..at some wax war with em at some point. Well he was back to his old ways at sugar man beach over the weekend, Bashing the likes of Beenie Man, Angel and Lady Gaza.
