L3 Magazine – May Edition includes:
Dancehall Queen Lady Saw, Cherine,
Gramps Morgan, Warrior King, Jus Bus and
more!
With the heat being generated in Reggae and Dancehall, L3
Magazine, Canada’s leading Caribbean-Urban online publication had to take a
trip back to Jamaica so readers can get the inside scoop on Lady Saw, the
Dancehall Queen who has music lovers in a frenzy with her latest singles! Readers also get intimate and interactive
with Cherine, Gramps Morgan, Warrior King, Jus Bus, New Artist Taya and more!
International recording artist Lady Saw tells us about her new album ‘Marion Hall – The Alter
Ego,’ including some of the heavy hitters she collaborated with. The album is very different to what fans are
expecting as the icon states “there’s a little bit of Jazz and Blues, there’s
Gospel and just plain good music.” Lady
Saw also opens up on what it is to be one of the few female producers in the
industry.
Fast Fact: Is the
song “Love Mih Mate” based on a true story?!
Lady Saw gives us the answer raw!
The Queen of Dancehall Soul, Cherine has quietly been on a mission, actually two missions. The first is working with youths; giving them
her time and attention and showing them that the world is theirs with lots of
options. This part of her work is being
done through her foundation, The Reach One Child Foundation, which apart from
music is her heart.
Cherine’s second mission is her music! She has toured, performed, written and sung
for her fans which is reflection of her heart.
The Dancehall Soul Songstress has given us music of inspiration at a
time when Jamaica needed it most, and she co-signed with Danielle a.k.a. D.I.
for ladies who needed a Dancehall anthem!
Don’t miss our exclusive sit down with Cherine!
Gramps Morgan is
a member of Reggae music’s Royal family, the Morgan’s, and is also an
accomplished solo artist. His newest
disk Reggae Music Lives has critics around the world excited!
Growing since the release of his first album 2 Sides of My
Heart, Gramps shares insight to why he chose to work with different producers,
the importance of his relationship with the Creator, being Jemere Morgan’s Dad
and why the murder of Trayvon Martin touched him deeply. Gramps opened up on these topics and more.
Warrior King is a
man of deep spirituality and can only be compared to good food. Musically, the King nourishes the mind, body
and soul with his deeply conscious lyrics and genuine concern for the well
being of his listeners. Our interview
takes readers on a view of the Kings heart and more!
Jus Bus is one of
the Caribbean’s most highly rated producers.
His remixes are favourited by club DJ’s the world over, and his riddim
compositions puts artists in international rotation. Tricia Spence sat down with the producer and
learned there is so much more to the producer than music, yet all roads lead to
the recording studio! This interview is
a must read as there is only one Mr. Nation, and he Jus Bus!
