Assassin Agent Sasco continues to prey on 'weaker artiste' eg Natural Black

Agent Sasco, also known as Assassin, seems to be the target of one more artiste's lyrical shots.
Singer Natural Black has released a song titled Mine You Own Business, which he says is aimed at Assassin.

"From mi trim mi locks, dem interested inna me. Mi nuh know how my name reach inna him mouth. Mi just want a man know say dem need fi avoid my name. Dem caan swing pon my name like a iron gate," Natural Black told THE STAR.

Natural Black, in referring to the lyrics in Assassin's controversial single Bun Freaky Ras, said that he believes that a section of the song is directed at him because of his recent decision to trim his locks.

In the song, Assassin deejays:

'Tell the yute dem nuh bleach and stay naturally black/you haffi firm inna the Gideon, don't trim your locks/Yea we know say everybody a pree the cash/but u nuh haffi sell out if you want reach the top'

In Natural Black's counteraction titled Mine You Own Business, he deejays:

'Agent Sasco a informer/The said one you fraida - Mr Palmer/Mortima Hardly a bigger drama/Yow a death before dishonour/... you only buss through you connections/So you need fi make you corrections/One bag a lyrics and one bag a song/Caan run the place - sumn wrong.'

When reporters questioned Natural Black about the feedback to his song, the artiste said he did not know.

"Mi nuh have no time fi pay attention to that. I'm all about my work. People a look out fi di new song dem, so mi just a make more dancehall hits," he said.

Natural Black went on to say that he has not spoken to Assassin since the release of the song.

"When lyrical war a gwaan, nobody nah pree confrontation. A the one weh have the most argument win. Mi have argument caan done. If mi chose fi do anything wid my locks, that a my decision. Assassin need fi mine him own business," he said.

Natural Black says he is also working on a new album called Angry Black Serpent,which will be released soon.

Shawnte isthe leading lady of the A Plus Ladies group and she has a diverse style of hip hop, rap, R&B, pop, and reggae. She started writing at age nine while singing and rapping with her best friend in school at talent shows and around their neighbourhood with friends.

Popcaan headlines dream concert speaks of upcoming album

The Smirnoff Dream Week is set to kick off in fine style with its first-ever concert in Negril.

This Dream concert will be on Wednesday, August 1, Jamaica's Emancipation Day, at Cayenne Beach on Negril's seven-mile strip. It will consist of an electrifying set of live performances officially dubbed Dream Live. Headlining the show will be none other than dancehall's hottest sensation, Popcaan.

Popcaan has risen to stardom in a relatively short space of time and is now one of the hottest acts in Jamaica.

When asked how he felt about being a part of this historic staging, he said, "The summer vibes gonna be maddd! Right now, di whole place a seh fry yiy, and di whole place a seh Dream! I am looking forward to this show. First time Dream's doing a concert and a whole week of parties, so it's a good look for me to be on the show. Pure fry yiy vibes we bringing for the girls and the hot skullz. We say raving straight for the whole week of Dream, so it gonna be madddd!"

He added, "Since a lot of my fans will be here from all over the world, my performance is going to be a mix of a Jamaican show and the shows we do overseas, so it's a mix of the whole catalogue for all the fans. It's gonna be a big weekend an just a good vibe for our country Jamaica, too."

When asked if there would be any special surprises for the fans during the weekend, Popcaan said, "Right now, we are working on a lot of new music every day, so do look out for a few new songs in Negril. Right now, I'm starting work on my album to be released later in the year, but in the meantime, on August 1, for Jamaica's historic Emancipation Day, I'll be doing all my hit singles at the Dream Live concert - Dream, Gangsta City, Clarks, Never Fear Dem, Clean, So Bad, Ravin, Party Shot. We gonna have some merchandise for the fans, too."

Busy Signal Pepsi Contract in Limbo

Kingston (Gleanor): A senior representative of Pepsi-Cola Jamaica Limited has revealed the company has taken steps to review its relationship with the artiste.

While the company has not taken an official position on the issue, Pepsi head of marketing, Carlo Redwood, noted that since his arrest, it has stopped running Pepsi Bubbla advertisements featuring the embattled entertainer.

"We have stopped running the ads until we get a clear understanding of what is the situation with the artiste," Redwood explained.

He added: "Obviously, we have to kind of understand what the situation is before we decide what's our next step in terms of the advertising that we have."

Redwood, however, declined to comment further, saying the company had not yet formulated an official position on the issue.

Busy Signal, whose real name is Glendale Gordon, came to prominence with the 2005 hit song Step Out and has also been featured in several ads for Red Label Wine.
However, attempts to get a comment from J. Wray and Nephew Limited, the brewers of Red Label Wine, on the status of that ad campaign were unsuccessful.

Popcaan show flopped in Belize last week.

Last week we told you all about Reggae Dancehall Sensation, Popcaan who was in town for a poolside concert at the Princess. Well, as it turns out, the only thing sensational was the debacle that unfolded at the concert venue.
We've heard all kind of reports of what happened, but the bottom line was that it was raining - and the concert was at an outdoor venue - so all kinds of chaos unfolded.

Mainly, it seems the stage was crowded with those seeking shelter form the rain, and when police tried to clear the stage form Popcaan, chaos erupted.

And so, Popcaan only performed two songs - and left the stage amidst a hail of insults - and we're told even bottle throwing. Police were forced to shut down the show and concert goers left angry and demanding refunds - which they never got.

Busy Signal Surrenders...to Us Authorities

Dancehall star Busy Signal has waived his rights to an extradition hearing and will instead go to the Unites States where he will stand trial.
According to Busy Signal attorney, KD Knight, U.S. Marshalls will fly the deejay to the states within a month. But there may be some good news for the “Nah Go a Jail” deejay.
According to Knight, his client can only be tried on a charge of absconding bail, because no extradition papers have been sent. Therefore, his client cannot be tried on drug charges.
Knight, who is a former government minister, said if his client is tried on drug charges, it would be a breach of the extradition treaty.

Busy Signal alleged flees the United States in 2002 before he could be tried on Narcotics charges. He was out on a bail Minnesota at the time.

Former Gaza Artiste in Shock after Portmore Empire disbanded by Kartel

KINGSTON(Star) With news forthcoming that the 'World Boss' has disbanded the Portmore Empire, artiste Sheba says she is in shock since she was not informed about the decision.

"I was not personally informed about this. Mi just wake up and see a broadcast message about it and a wonder if a true, but since reporters are calling me, it look like a true, den," Sheba said.

Sheba went on to say that she had not heard Kartel's side of the story, so she was not in a position to speak about the group being disbanded.

"Him nuh send no message wid him lawyer fi say nutten bout it, but a still music, me say. I want to thank him for a great run - it's been three years. To be honest, this news kinda shock me - is a sudden surprise. it's not something that was discussed with me," she said.

Sheba, whose given name is Tasheba Campbell, says she joined the Portmore Empire in 2009.

"Mi go up a di studio one day and tell him say me can deejay and him say, "mek mi hear a song den", and mi deejay fi him, and him say him like it, and that was it," Sheba told reporters

She is most famous for her collabs with Kartel, including You and Him Deh, Like Christmas, and Do Me Dat (A Whe Me Do You).

Former 'Gaza' artistes sound off

The media also spoke with a few of the original members to hear their views on the disbanding of the Portmore Empire.

"I was there from the beginning, and I got the chance to learn a lot of things while in the Portmore Empire that could help me out with my career today. From they remanded him, some of the others should have been trying to work on their craft so even if he doesn't come back very soon, they can still manage on their own. "Empire taught me to fight fi what yuh believe in and him is a man weh him like fi see yuh a do things. So as a female, yuh haffi think like a man but act like a woman," said Lisa Hyper.

Another artiste, Dosa Medicine, said, "I understand what Vybz Kartel is saying. he is away and can't really push their careers the way he could have if he was out. Vybz Kartel is a man like this ... when it becomes too much for him, he will just let it go. I figure more or less that is what is happening. But still, to be one of the original members, it's good to know that the whole world was saying gaza, something I help to build."
