Ninjaman is a class act. From lyrics to fashions he hits the mark with style: He’s smooth, cool and collected. He hits hard and swift and then stands back. His style is flowing and you never know what kind of weapons he’s hiding in the folds. A true ninja! ([More →])

The Jamaica Observer reported today that Jah Cure will be performing in the UK after Curefest in October. Jah Cure fans are going crazy for any news about the singer since his release from the Tower Correctional Facility in July. He made his first public appearance at the Sundance Reggae Music Fest in Holland and the crowd response was unprecedented. So much love and joy and appreciation came from the audience during the concert and in the weeks following. Cure’s second concert is the 3-day festival that was organized in his honor - Curefest in Jamaica October 12-14th. This will be a huge weekend for Jah Cure, not only because it is his big show on home soil, but also he will be celebrating his 30th birthday on October 11th. As he gears up for this big event, his promoters are setting the stage over in the UK. Taurrus Riley is already scheduled for numerous UK concerts opening for Buju Banton and will also open the shows for Jah Cure in UK.

Siccature Alcock stepped out of the Tower Street Adult Correctional Centre in Kingston Jamaica and into the life he had been dreaming about while sleeping behind bars for the last 8 years. When Alcock left prison, he finally stepped into the shoes of a free Jah Cure. There was a press conference held to meet the man behind the music. When Jah Cure entered the room on the arm of his mother, he was greeted by complete silence. Silence broken only by the sound of numerous cameras being clicked, shutters opening and closing, film advancing, and more silence. Finally, the photographers were asked to step back, and Spragga Benz himself stepped forth to offer a prayer and give thanks to Jah for the man who has served his time and is ready to become a member of society again.
