For the man, the artist and the person that I met, this is a most deserving award, because we still put so much credence in winning one of the music industry's most coveted awards Last year, when a white reggae band, Soja, won the award, there was a massive upheaval for some, watching as white culture infiltrated once again, not only performing, but winning the award Some tell me that Soja deserved the award based on their contributions that are over a decade of music, touring and performing yet it still does not / did not sit well with many Non-Jamaicans winning global / American reggae a ..read more

​A man in Jamaica sent a letter to all his relatives, through a 3rd party, that he had died and needed some aid with the funeral.  The families abroad sent thousands so that dude could have a proper burial Our bredrin, collected all of the money, bought a house, a van and started a successful delivery business which his family soon heard about and started to cuss my dude on how deceitful he is Our bredrin wrote back to the family saying, “If I asked you all to invest in a home, van or business with me, none of you would yet you will pay for my death” Moral of the story, give love, pra ..read more

Toronto City Hall is set to honor the reggae King, Bob Marley, this year once again, by turning the LED lights to red, gold and green (it is always a challenge to get the right sequencing of the colors, but in the end, I'm still very proud)  Why?  The colors of RasTafari have penetrated to the core of the colonial culture that has abused its people since the inception of the doctrine by Leonard Percival Howell and others, pointing to that black King from the east, Haile Selassie l, as a black God  No, I'm not arguing theology or religion, I'm framing a life lived by many, w ..read more

Maroons," a word derived from "Cimarron," which means "fierce" or "unruly."  The term signifies, " being left behind"  Marooned  Yet in our indomitable way, we make this term into one of sheer pride  A name by choice not identifying with the abusive colonizer and their centuries long brutality against Africans  Who are the Maroons?  We were indoctrinated by the colonizer horseshit literature who told us that the Maroons were captured Africans who escaped plantations into Cockpit country where they were left alone because of the fierce nature of the pe ..read more

The over-commerciality of Bob Marley, a humble RasTafari, is being further tainted by a horrendous babylonian machine, intent on turning the Marley name from an uplifting energy to a point where many in the global fanbase hate the Marley brand and what it stands for It is like there is a corrupt, demonic energy intent on changing the Marley love to corporate hate The latest issue is Tuff Gong crushing veteran, Jamaican, reggae artists by reportedly taking over a Sirius radio channel, removing their music (royalty payments) and injecting all Marley tunes and keeping all profits for themselve ..read more

The blessing of Bob Marley On top of being famous for locks, ganja smoke, Jamaica, Hope Road, Nine Mile, Trench Town, football, love, RasTafari was the core of this beautiful soul that is Robert Nesta Marley.  I still say "is" because that lovely energy still encircles the planet, oozing into newer generations of our children Hermon "Woody" King, my uncle, had a friendly relationship with Bob and as a youth I crossed path with Alan Skill Cole as well, one time Wailers manager and arguably Jamaica's greatest baller, some place up in Red Hills playing football.  Back then, Alan Cole ..read more

876ers  Jamaicans love Jamaica  Man like Leonard Percival Howell and Marcus Mosiah Garvey encourage my thoughts to a more entrepreneurial existence even within the corruption of the matrix  I man love the mandingo mentality of my visions of some of I and I ancestors like Three Finger Jack who targeted and killed many of his white oppressors... singlehandedly  Calm down  That fear of black people taking brutal revenge may be a solution by Jack yet history has proven this to be an isolated case.  I feel like the general consensus is that we'd prefer to live fr ..read more
