April marks the arrival of Spring, and just as there’s a
season change, there’s a change with Snoop Dogg who now goes by the name of
Snoop Lion.
Interviewed by L3’s Natasha Von Castle, Snoop Lion speaks
candidly about his conversion to Rastafari and how that conversion is now
influencing his music. In addition to
the question of what it’s like for an American to perform with the Patois
dialect, Natasha also asks Snoop if there’s an ulterior motive with Mind
Gardens. His answer might surprise
readers.

States, Tricia ‘ZJ Sparks’ Spence sits
down with Jah Sun in Jamaica to talk about his career, and the success he’s had

creates.
Honoring one of Jamaica’s Dancehall legends, Pia Jordine
speaks to Burro Banton on his long standing career, as well as the countless
artists he’s influenced and who have patterned his style of lyrical
delivery. Dancehall aficionados will
want to hear the latest from the living legend.
Rounding out our interviews, Heike Dempster speaks to
Bahamas own Ricardo Clarke who shares what it is to be in the business of
musical ministry. The artist also shares
