Bounty Killer and Mr Peppa New Tune Oppertunity

Im not sure If this is the first combo between Mr Pepper and Bounty Killa but this is a nice little tune. Some critics are already predicting that this song will only last 10 days. If Mr. Pepper is kinda smart he should make sure that he gets a number 1 position with this tune like Samantha J.... a regular member on the charts, like Kalado. How can he do it?,,, I will suggest that he ask Samantha J and Kalado.. they are relatively new artiste and have somewhat made their mark on the music scene already. Pepper been around a long time to the point where he no longer burns, so he should take this Bounty Killer opportunity and run with it.

The tune is called "Have it Lock" and appears to be a PayDay production

Part of Vybz Kartel Group Freed Moonie

According to gleaner report today One of the co-accused involved in the murder trial of entertainer Vybz Kartel was this morning set free as all 12 members of the jury were selected allowing for arguments to begin.

Fashion designer Calvin Haye was released after the prosecution said it found no evidence against him.

His lawyer, Diane Jobson, said the Crown did the right thing and questioned it they took so long to release her client.

Haye was jointly charged with Kartel, entertainer Shawn Campbell, popularly known as Shawn Storm, André St John, Shane Williams and Kahira Jones for the murder of Clive 'Lizard' Williams.

Williams was killed at Kartel’s home in Havendale, St Andrew, on August 16, 2011.

It is further alleged that Williams was killed after he and another man were taken to the entertainer’s house to account for a lost firearm.

The other man is expected to be the prosecution’s main witness.

Williams’ body has not been found.

However, the police have reported that they have video and audio recordings linking Vybz Kartel and his co-defendants to the killing.

Meanwhile, in his opening statement to the jury, prosecutor Jeremy Palmer said the case was one of common design and joint enterprise to end the life of Williams.

He said the accused managed to get Palmer to a house and ended his life over a dispute of property.

He told the jurors that the case is not a referendum on dancehall or culture but a murder case in which they must decide whether the five accused are guilty or not guilty of murder.

Sizza Applogy to Battyboy did not Help

Sizzla Kalonji

Sizzla's return to performing in the United States, his tour of that country has hit a roadblock according to an Observer report.

The "Rastaman No Applologise to NO BattyBoy" artiste has been denied a visa to that country, according to Stephen Brush of International Artists Agency, who spearheaded bookings for the tour.


He said, based on the outcome of the meetings, he has no choice but to reschedule the tour for early next year.

"I am deeply saddened by the news, and I can say this is one of the worst weeks in my career... It is not a dead issue, but I am no longer comfortable waiting and seeing. What I would like to do is postpone the tour and look at re-booking it for February and March," he said.

The seven-date gig was scheduled from November 21 to December 22. Sizzla would have performed at venues in Washington, DC; Virginia; Colorado; and New York.

Sizzla, whose real name is Miguel Collins, has not held a US visa or work permit since 2008 when it was revoked.

Several of Sizzla's songs such as Bad Man Don't Apologise and Murder Dem have portrayed violence towards members of the homosexual community, who have protested his presence in Europe and North America.

In 2007, his concerts in Toronto and Montreal were cancelled after protests by members of the Canadian Stop Murder Music coalition. One year later, he was sent back to the US after arriving in Madrid, Spain, for a concert. Spanish human rights organisations objected against his "hatred against homosexuals".

Mr Vegas Pushing Bounty Killer in War .. in time for Sting 2013

I dont know at what point for sure but i do believe that Mr Vegas was not the tracing type of person... until Sean Paul get big and buss weh leff him. Since then Mr Vegas appear to be very vocal and annoyed by everything, he has toned down a bit these days but it does not take much to get him riled up, and Bounty Killer has. Bounty Killer is the self proclaimed war lord, the hardcore DJ tracer ..not even shebada can test and seems that Musical jabs are usually apparent at this time of year as many entertainers begin to fuel lyrical warfare among themselves in anticipation of Sting.

In a track dubbed Bury Him Fuss, Mr. Vegas comes out swinging at his nemesis Bounty Killa. Mimicking Bounty’s trademark voice, Vegas tease the warlord with the hook “Bowy ago dead fi di Christmas”.... the track also have bites by Bounty killer himself which appear to be the work of the producers or a Vegas a try sound like Bounty...

It was reported by iriefm that Mr Vegas did the track to teach his sons to stand up for themselves.

New Song From Vybz Kartel .. who should be outa Jail soon

This is brand new song from vybz Kartel called the "Addi Truth"

It was indicated in previous reports that the single was released under Vybz Kartel’s common law wife, Tanesha ‘Shorty’ Jackson, new label Short Boss Muzic.

This tune is a remake of the old Baby Wayne song,, Kartel has made a number of remakes over the pass few years with the most popular being jump inna di benz.

There have been reports as well that the blecha teacha might be on his way out of jail... but with what happened to Roach im not sure it will be all good for the Jamaican Dancehall star.

Anyway this new song is not bad.. so for Short Boss distribution has not fallen short of sending out "good kartel tracks"

Tommy Lee suffers minor Demon Like Set Back

There have been reports as well as pictures ..indicating that the demons may have come for Tommy Lee, of course in the form of a car accident. The Jamaican gothic artiste who has not been prominent in the pass 10 months or more, perhaps due to the fact he may have run out of style, lyrics or even cooperating producers. I heard even the likes of Mutabaruka asking what has happened to Tommy Lee, the DJ has been less in the media and on the turn table in comparison to last year.
We would love to see Tommy Lee quickly recover and back in the studios making his hit demon oriented songs,,, so he should quickly pray to that Spartan Angel and accelerate his recovery.
