♠ HOTTT New Dancehall! ♠ Fuze - Fly Pass Dem!


Thanks to Twitter, we had the opportunity to meet an up and coming Dancehall artist that girls say is as HOTTT as the sun!  He goes by the name Fuze, and he makes his debut via
his new chune "Fly Pass Dem!"
 
We hear lyrics about 'haters' all the time, but Fuze decides to go a different route by focusing
on going past the haters without focusing on the word 'haters' when he DJ's:
 
"Caan stop mih eye dem from open ah mawnin
time / when dem ah playa hate me tell dem all is
fine / yuh see dah phone ya / ah only real people
can call this line / ah nuff ah dem jealous an corrupt
an nuff ah dem bad mind ...."
 
Believe us, you will be calling for the 'puuuuuuuuuuuul up' on this chune as it connects
on every level.  Fuze even comments on the fact that our swag ah 'tun up' and we 'nuh listen to dihmouth when it run up.'  Bap Bap Bap!
 
Tweet with Fuze by joining him on Twitter @Fuzeatdem1!

Why We Love R. Kelly...



I have always been a fan of R. Kelly's.  From the time he dropped his first album, 12 Play, I was there.  Many people wonder why I love R. Kelly as much as I do so here is the answer.  The year was 2003, and it was the year that my boyfriend of 4 years, the man I was supposed to marry, the man I had plans to buy a home with, the man who was going to give me children, all of a sudden, with no warning, decided to be with someone else.

The hurt I experienced was a shock to my system.  I went from 180 pounds to 150 in a week.  I went to sleep crying, I woke up crying, and couldn’t keep anything in my system. R. Kelly’s music changed that.

It began with the song “Chocolate Factory” in which Kells begins with the words ‘baby, there’s nobody like you, you’re a really good friend….’  As if by magic, I was taken from my heart break, and put on a journey that encouraged me to leave behind the ex boyfriend, and look forward to the future.  R. Kelly comforted me, he brought healing to me, and he encouraged me, not even knowing who I was, or that I even existed.

After listening to the album, including the bonus album (the song “Far More” is my favourite), I knew I was going to be ok, and I knew I was going to get through my personal tragedy, and I knew R. Kelly understood me.  All of this through the power of song(s).  You see, R. Kelly’s music became the doctor that performed surgery giving my body what it needed to gain its’ own strength so that its’ healing could be complete, and life could be restored and made better.

I have since spoken to other women around the world who have shared their stories, some of which are similar to mine, and all have come to the common conclusion that R. Kelly is for Women.  He understands us and sings to us and for us.

There will only ever be one R. Kelly.  No matter what he faces in life, his fans will always be there with him and for him because he was there for us.  I can’t go any further without saying, we all have to thank DJ Wayne Williams for signing Kells.  If it wasn’t for Wayne, we wouldn’t know this incredible entertainer the way we do.  I thank Wayne just as much as I thank Kelly’s parents for creating his life.

Thank you Kells.  On behalf of the millions of women and people around the world you’ve touched, thank you!





Thank You Japan...




The recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan has captured the attention of most of us.  Either we have friends / family / fans there, or we have business interests, or we connect with the tragedy on a human level.  Regardless of how or why we connect, Japan and its' devastation has impacted us all.

We don't have the right words to bring comfort to those who have experienced loss, and We don't have words to shield us from the after effects that will hit all of us environmentally, financially and beyond.  Instead, we have two simple words:  thank you.

Thank you to the Japanese for being a part of our global existence.  Thank you to Japan for the incredible contributions you have made to technology and more.  Thank you for being our friend, our partner and at times our ally.

The world supports you as you rebuild.  Your rebuilding is our rebuilding.  We love you Japan.  Please continue to stay strong...

The Brilliance in Vybz Kartel...



You’ve never read a review of his music, nor have you heard us play one of his songs.  We’ve never commented on his shenanigans, nor have we joined the debate about his destruction (or non destruction thereof) of music coming from Jamaica, but today, we have to salute Dancehall artist Vybz Kartel as being one of the most, if not, the most brilliant artist to come out of Jamaica from a marketing perspective.

Undeniably, Mr. Palmer’s brilliance is not limited to his ability to lyricize listeners into doing what he does, especially in song.  His brilliance is not limited to the fact that he has seized countless business opportunities in developing his line of condoms, rum, shoes, music and more.  His brilliance is further not contained to the fact that he generates conversation daily because of what he does and does not do with the colour of his skin.  No!

Vybz Kartel is the most brilliant artists to come out of Jamaica because he’s in tune with the universe, and has mastered the use of energy emitted by the very people who profess to ‘not like him’ because of his antics.  By tuning into that energy, Vybz Kartel continues to receive inspiration as to what he can and should do next to keep the masses talking about him, and keep the money rolling in.

While some pundits were deliberating why it is his album couldn’t sell units, he was busy sealing a deal with his rum company.  While some people talked about whether or not his lyrics were appropriate, and whether or not his music would be, should be, or could be banned from their radio station, Mr. Palmer was counting the stacks of money he made from the sale of his condoms.  Let us repeat; Vybz Kartel is brilliant.

The latest talk about him bleaching has only caused his cake soap to be sold by the case throughout the Caribbean, America and several countries in Africa.  Some people feel sorry for him and the fact that he can’t travel to perform in other countries.  Don’t be fooled!  He can travel, he just chooses not to!

As it stands, Vybz is on a level where if he decided to run for Prime Minister, he could, and would win!  Perhaps we should see that the music he creates his a front for his ability to harness and convert universal energy which enables him to be brilliant…

Hide Ya Kid’s! Hide Ya Wife!


Madea is back with her hilariously dysfunctional family.  Writer, producer and director Tyler Perry has once again transformed one of his popularly funny plays into a feature film with “Madea’s Big Happy Family”

Perry plays Harold; a henpecked man who has completely lost control of his family. For a family man like Perry the role reminds him of some of his own family gatherings and how crazy it can get when the whole squad reunites.
"Shooting Madea's Big Happy Family was like being with my real life family because I lost control of my wife and kids years ago. Wish I had Madea's help." ~Rodney Perry
Like most Tyler Perry movies there is the underlying message of love and family and this one is no different. Set to hit theater’s Aprill 22, 2011 the movie also star’s Tyler Perry, as Mabel “Madea” Simmons, Bow Wow, Loretta Devine, Lauren London, and Isaiah Mustafa.
