L3 Magazine - December Issue ft. Konshens




L3 Magazine, Canada’s #1 Caribbean-Urban publication closes out 2012 with one of the most celebrated artists in Dancehall, none other than Konshens!

Having just released his sophomore album ‘Hotel Room,’ and appearing on America’s Next Top Model, Natasha Von Castle had to begin the interview by asking the Dancehall star how the view looks from where he is right now.  His answer shows his humility and determination at the same time.  Just as we went to production, it was announced that Konshens is on the short list of candidates being considered for a Grammy nomination.  You’ll enjoy every word Konshens the realest has to say! 

P.S.  In keeping with the theme of ‘Hotel Room,’ the interview was done while Konshens was in bed.  Natasha is envied!

Tricia ‘ZJ Sparks’ Spence sits down with Peetah Morgan on behalf of Morgan Heritage whose interview is, in one word, explosive!  Speaking to Sparks exclusively, Peetah shares updates on the group as well as share his insights on Payola.  According to Peetah “it’s not Payola, its Marketing and Promotion!” 

Heike Dempster sits down with world traveler and world music artist Sheba.  With parents who work for the United Nations, Sheba a.k.a. Queen of Hearts has been to countries that have impacted her creative expression.  Find out how much so in her interview.

Additional highlights include the UK’s Jermaine Riley, Toronto’s Nanny Mystikk and the US’s Ramadez.  We have the top Digital, Video, Soca and Reggae charts, and we also highlight what fans and critics have to say about Daniel Craig and his performance as 007 in Skyfall.

Ms. December is Rashirda who is beautifully photographed by Jerome Dupont from New Era Photography; new music releases just in time for the holidays and a thought provoking editorial from Natasha regarding the singer of the song “Uncle Demon.”
