DJ Q’s new video for “Bad Boys” featuring DMX, Junior Reid and Dawg E Slaughter is going to be epic. At least it looks like it will, judging from the new trailer:

“Bad Boys” is on DJ GQ’s Let ‘Em Know- The Album and the video was produced by Kareem Eduoard. What do you think of this new trend of music videos having trailers like big movies?

A brand new documentary on reggae culture will reveal what really gwaan behind the scenes, on the road, backstage and inna di yard. The 90-minute flick is called “Reggae Uncensored” and features personal interviews with Buju Banton, Ninjaman, Sean Paul, Mavado, Beenie Man, Damien Marley, Macka Diamond, Sizzla, Junior Reid and many many more. The story is helped along by the doc’s host Chyna and English subtitles for the patois-challenged. ([More →])

When I heard that Beenie Man was meeting Alicia Keys to rehearse their AMA performance, I assumed they would be performing the remix that Beenie Man did of her song “No One.” Instead, the performance erupted into a red hot dancehall party! What an incredible surprise! Well, if you were left wanting to hear the remix still, you can listen to it here: ([More →])

Alicia Keys stole the show at the American Music Awards on Sunday night by turning it into a dancehall party! She invited reggae legends Junior Reid, Beenie Man, Chaka Demus & Pliers on stage for a medley of BIG TUNES! Keys kicked off with her new hit, “No One,” but then switched gears into a dancehall medley with Junior Reid singing his smash hit “One Blood,” Chaka Demus and Pliers adding their biggest number, “Murder She Wrote” and Beenie Man came out with his “Who Am I?” Most viewers probably had no idea what hit them (but enuff in the live audience did – the crowd roared when airhorns introduced Junior Reid to the stage), but this 5 minute performance shows a deep love and respect for Jamaican music and a few of its biggest players!

Jah Cure fans have waited 8 years since his last performance and they will have to wait a little longer. He’s still being released from prison on time, as far as anyone can tell. But the organizers of Curefest, Danger Zone Records, has decided to postpone the 3 day festival of conscious dancehall music until October. ([More →])

Jah Cure will be celebrating and giving thanks for his freedom, while Curefest will highlight reggae and dancehall music with a positive message. Curefest has announced a preliminary lineup of confirmed artists, with more big names being added up until the festival weekend – August 24-26th. ([More →])
