Serani Skips to the top with Lou

Serani

If it is the case that because Serani is already an established act on the international scene..well mostly in the United States, that his version of the Skip to my Luu is now on rotation on Hot 97 and steadily climbing the charts ..including the reggae itunes chart.
I will admit that my favourite Skip to my Luu was on the baheba riddim by don corleone, tune was done by Voicemail. QQ's version was not so bad either and of course the worst one for me was Serani's version. Well I guess what is annoyance to me is someone else's sweet music... Dont get me wrong I am perhaps one of the few that appreciates Serani's material... but of all the tracks this one is the one that is doing well.
Credit must be given to Serani he has broken into the US market, however mediocre it maybe at this time.., and doing whatever is necessary to stay on top ..even when it means he has to sing for free... it is slowly but apparently working nicely for him.

The "Marley Image" Slightly Scratched

Ms Sharon Marley should be attending court today to answer to charges that she allegedly was cruel to a minor.
This is the second daughter of Marley to be implicated in wrong doing in recent times. Though Steven was instrumental in facilitating bail for Buju Banton, his siblings according to some has somewhat tarnish the "Marley image"-- at least a bit. .. I dont know but this has left the The "Marley Image" Slightly Scratched.

'Recent Dancehall Reggae' Tunes on Reggae iTunes Chart

'Recent Dancehall Reggae' Tunes on Reggae iTunes Chart

Noticeable on itunes reggae chart this week is CeCile's 'Woot Woot' doing fairly well placing (technically) second to Gyptian as the 'Recent Jamaican Artiste' on the chart. The Don Corleon influence on J Boog material has resulted in a feeding frenzy by the fans he has two pieces on there. Serani's "No Games" is like staple on the chart and is expected to remain there even longer than his latest entry "Skip to my Luu" under both VP Records and Rockstone Media/Phase One copyright. Seanizzle's production "I'm Drinking Red Bull" with Beenie Man and Fambo sits pretty at number 39 on the charts....and its climbing. The Marley family usually represent well, and need to be represented these days on their own label. As with the case with Vybz Kartel straight jeans and Fitted copping out at number 100, the track copyright says Adeijaheim/Notnice although it was produced by Russian from Head Concussion.

Buju Banton wants Family for X-Mas

According to reports Jamaican reggae star could be on the road as early as next week after the Judge rejected the appeal from the prosecution to stop Buju's bail. Reports are also indicating that the bail bond for Buju has increased to US$300,000 with the defence team also putting up a US$25,000 for the security bond.
Under the conditions of the bail it is required that Buju sign a waiver for extradition, be subjected to 24-hour security surveillance, undergo random drug screening and he is also expected to be attached a GPS ankle tracking Device.
Buju second trial was rescheduled for February next year giving the singer enough time to apply for bail and spend some time with his family, friends and well wishers. According to Buju's lawyer the artiste has expressed strong interest that he wants to spend the Christmas with his family.

Vybz Kartel dissed/corrected ..by Name

Kartel was dissed again, which is nothing new these days, but what is strange about this one is that the artiste who he did it didn't ID himself which we found quite weird as all artiste does want some popularity, the in the song refers to himself as name. Then we are left to speculate that this guy is not in for the fame he is apparently upset that Vybz Kartel has made false statements in his songs and is intended to make a correction and made it clear that it is not a counteraction. The artiste expressed disgust at Kartel's negative impacts on the music industry, from the shirt, the skin to the signing of the compassionate act contract.
Check out the tune..

Lysa Hype and Beenieman - Nuh Stress Mi Out - Official Video

Since Beenie Man visa ban earlier this year the DJ has stepped up the pace of his record production. His latest hit is the tune called Nuh Stess Mi Out featuring Lisa Hype. The official video features the tunes "out and clean" and "nuh stress mi out", the video was directed by Janelle Dyer. Its a nice clean production, nothing excessive in there but I couldn't help noticing that Lisa Hype was never in a scene with Beenie Man when the "Nuh Stress Mi Out" combination started. One has to wonder if Beenie is subduing any potential backlash that might occur due to Lisa's passed association, not with Portmore Empire but that now famous scene with her and the "mic" in her mouth.

Buju Banton Trial set for February 2011

When the trial of Buju Banton recently ended up in a hung jury and was declared a mistrial, there was a declaration for a retrial in December 2010, the application for his bail more or less hit a brick wall. Buju was granted bail but was hit with some unrealistic conditions that has lead to the Jamaican artiste to be still being in jail up to this time.
Recent reports are now indicating that the retrial is now pushed back to February of 2011 at the request of Banton's lawyer.

Jah Cure robbed in Dominica but still have LOve fo' 'em

Jah Cure with his Rolex?

There are reports stating that Jamaican Reggae Star Jah Cure was robbed over the weekend in Dominica. While performing with his entire entourage on stage someone broke into his hotel room and removed valuable items including a Rolex Watch and a Chain. Jah Cure was apparently one of the headline acts at the 14th World Creole Music Festival at the Windsor Park Stadium on Sunday.
Jah Cure in a radio interview, according to the report, indicated that he still have love for Dominican People.. indicating that it was someone at the hotel who might have committed that act since there was no forced entry.
Well Jah Cure give thanks that you are alive and well... you have a large entourage use them well.. im sure not all are competent in the art of performance is absolutely necessary every where you go.

The Cake Soap and AC theory

Cake Soap Kartel and some Bulla

It is still being debated although its a foregone conclusion that it is not practical ..or should I say if you are dark complexion  it is totally impossible for you to shower with Cake Soap and sit in a room with Air Conditioning and you will then move a dark tone to a very light skin tone. Surly if you keep from the sun and apply other substances then chances are you will reduce melanin as well as your health and self-esteem in most instances. Kiprich, from experience clearly indicated that this will not work and Tony Matherhorn in one of his latest songs had indicated that he knows basic chemistry and if he is being told of a mixture of Cake Soap and AC to produce a lighter shade of yourself ..he would leave that school. Perhaps its a Kartel diss we are not sure to keep it balanced Tony did mention something about di Hammer refering to Bounty Killer and the alleged Hammer beating of that girlfriend of his.
We all know that Kartel concocted this theory of Ac and Cake Soap as matter of saying its none of your business....But according to him his objective was to be controversial and to hight light his tattoos but laaad man...

Cake Soap

Kartel Did..indicate that they should stop watching him and all these things ...but laad god man.. this is just awful... this tune alright though.. here he repeats the cake soap concept
