♠ HOTTT New Dancehall! ♠ Gappy Ranks - Stinkin' Rich!

Greetings!



I hope you had a GREAT weekend filled
with music, music, music!

We have all fallen in Love with the voice
and vibes of UK hottie Mr. Gappy Ranks.
Although he's been performing for years,
most of us have come to know him for the
chune "Heaven In Her Eyes."
 
Since those days, Gappy has been recording
music that shows off his versatility. Not
only is he a balladeer, but he can also flip
it and perform hardcore Dancehall as well;
"Stinkin' Rich" is another example of that
Dancehall versatility.

Performed on a slight variation of the great
'Eighty-Five' riddim produced by Dave Kelly,
the title of the chune says it all, and the clever
word play confirms the message! Regardless
of what, we have to be stinkin rich!

Broadcasting at 320kbps, catch Gappy Ranks
"Stinkin' Rich" here:

Core DJ's Retreat!

The Core DJ's have announced details for

their next retreat which will be in Orlando

from May 7-10.  If you're a DJ, get on.  If

you're an artist GET ON!  If you're a music

industry executive (up and coming or otherwise)

you definitely need to get on!

Details below, and reports live on location

the days of...

Ky-Mani Marley's Story...

One thing we are never short of in the music

world, especially the Reggae and Dancehall 

fraternity is drama!

Ky-Mani Marley's new book, 'Dear Dad'

was drama filled after the artist shared some 

of the contents of his story with family members 

who were not too happy with how some things 

were presented.  By the time Ky had changes

ready, the book had gone to print causing a

rift between publisher, Ky-Mani and the Marley

family.

Looks like they've been able to work things

out because the book tour has been announced

which sees Ky and the publisher in places like

Miami / Atlanta / Detroit / Cleveland / Los

Angeles and more!

♠ HOTTT New Music! ♠ Bling Dawg - Father God Guide Me!

Greetings!

 

There is some 'bling' news coming out of the

Jukeboxxx Productions camp, and the

'bling' news is that Jukeboxx will be doing

some work with Dancehall DJ, Mr. Bling

Dawg!

 

Bling has been somewhat out of the spotlight

for a few minutes, but he's come back, and

come back hard - I'm talking God hard!

 

His newest chune "Father God Guide Me,"

was produced by the Star Player Music

Group, and has been endorsed by Shane Brown. 

Lyrically, DJ's who have heard the chune so

far are appreciating Bling's lyrics which go

like this:

 

Father God guide me / nah obeah me no buy /

when me testify / mih test dih money anno

lie / avoid me / just walk past dih I / Jah

will rescue me from ....

 

Speaking directly to his listeners, Bling gives

testimony of some of the things God has seen

him through and protected him from which are

things all listeners can relate to!

 

Broadcasting at 320kbps, catch Bling Dawg's

latest chune "Father God Guide Me" here:

 

P.S.  Bling will be doing some hardcore production

in the next few.  Lock in your dubplates and ting

from now!  Contact Shane diretly here.

More Tales from the Charly Black Tour!

So we've been blogging for a few seconds about

Dancehall artist Charly Black.  We told you that

chicks can't keep their hands off the dude, and

what we say is true!

Charly crushed the crowd in Montreal, Canada,

the latest tour stop, and made the girls 'bubble 

inna trouble.'  Don't even ask what happened when

he performed the chune "Buddy Inna Pum Pum!"

If you want to know what happened with that 

chune, you'll have to see the pics.  Pay attention 

to pic #15 for the reaction shot to "Buddy!"

We got you covered here:

Montreal, Canada

♠ HOTTT Music Re-Cap! ♠ Charly Black - Rich Dis Year Tour!

Greetings!

 

Charly Black is in North America promoting

his soon to be released album 'Rich Dis Year.'

So far, Charly has teased fans in Toronto with

a quick pass through, and gave a full performance

in Montreal last night (Big up Don and the entire

Little Thunder Family!).

 

The ladies have made it clear that Charly is their

DJ of choice.  I'm not gossiping, but I'm telling

you that getting Charly out of the venues have

been a challenge.  Ladies won't let him go.  Oh Boy!

 

 

Charly will have a day off from the performance

track, and will use that day to record dubplates;

looks like it will be Sunday.  To get your hands on

dubs, call Niyah at 416-206-9106, or e-mail

i_vibe@hotmail.com.

 

Charly will be in Calgary, Vancouver, Edmonton,

Baltimore, and Virginia Beach with Joe Swynger

from Crazy Love Sound.  More details to come!

 

In the meantime, broadcasting at 320kbps, and

including the new chune "Informer" on the Negril

riddim, catch a few chunes from Charly here:

Charly's next performance...

 

Jah Cure Con Exposed!

It seems like not only the Hollywood Rich and

Famous are susceptible to people wanting to

scam and make money off their name.

According to Jah Cure's management team of 

Danger Zone Music Group, a promoter in Belize 

ordered dubplates (paid for them)  from the 

Universal Cure which didn't materialize.  The 

promoter became suspicious after not receiving

his dubs, and contacted DZMG who had no 

knowledge of monies exchanged for dubplates.  

Lawd!  The promoter is out money, and DZMG

has made it clear:  anything you need from Jah,

go through them!

The things people will do to profit off of the cure!

This and That for Friday March 19th, 2010!

Do you remember Raz B from the boy group

B2K?  Well, it seems the dude has gone from

'boy' to King as per his newest mixtape that

hit the streets today!

The mixtape is called 'Boy To King' and has

been co-signed (so we're told) by Raven Symone, 

Freeway Ricky Ross, Sway (MTV/Wake Up 

Show) & Josh Powell (L.A. Lakers).  Interesting!

The tape features appearances by Fizz, Boog

and Slim (of 112), plus a few more.  If you're in,

grab the mix here:  

Boy 2 King - The Mixtape EP

Want more news about Raz B?!  It's 'hinted'

by his handlers that he has a new 'business partner'

who goes by the name Tila Tequila.  Maybe she

liked his 'package' that was exposed via the internet

about a year ago.  Hmmm....

Listen to the two of them get down on the chune

"Romeo" here:  Romeo

Charly to the B-L-A-C-K in Toronto!

Looky here looky here!  Eye spy with my little

eye, some fine piece of chocolate candy who

goes by the name Charly Black!

The former selector turned Dancehall DJ has

landed safe and sound in Toronto (despite all

the drama - more on that later), and was immediately

greeted at the airport by a hot honey in a beamer! 

L3's spies say they did the hotel check in, and 

re-emerged a few minutes later to hit one of the 

clubs.

Charly is in North America from Jamaica as a 

part of his 'Rich Dis Year' tour.  Pics of Charly

in YYZ, and of him being rushed by the ladies

♠ Boardhouse Records Presents ♠ Rihanna ft. Assassin a.k.a. Agent Sasco - Rude Boy!

Greetings!

 

Rihanna is out of order; either that, or she

doesn't know who a real rude boy is!  One

thing a woman never, ever, ever does when

dealing with a true rude boy (I'm talking an

authentic yard man rude boy) is to ask him

if he can get it up.  Wha?!!!

 

As if he's been provoked, Assassin, a.k.a.

Agent Sasco deals with Rihanna's case

wickedly on this "Rude Boy" remix. 

 

Produced by Boardhouse Records, the

music is stripped down focusing on the drum

pattern, as if to say 'I want you to hear me

clearly' when I say:  "man ah yard man / man

ah badman / man an nah no dude / nah treat

yuh like no food / caw me give it to you good,

" then goes on to say "me ah show you Jamaican

style / we ah do it hotta dan Kingston...." 

Kaboom!

 

You've heard just about every Rude Boy remix,

but this one is a 'must play;' it's too Certified HOTTT!

 

Broadcasting at 320kbps, let your listeners know

how a true Rude Boy, Assassin a.k.a. Agent Sasco,

deals wid dih ting here:
