Lyrics on Hope(lessness)-One Loaf of Bread ( Damian Marley)




Yeah!! Christ feed the multitude wid only one loaf a bread

Christ feed the multitude wid only one loaf a bread! Poor people
There is something for you dont let the pressures of the system
Get upon ya head, Poor people there is something for you

Mankind cares not for his sisters anymore, still there is something for you
Writen in the the book of life we shall live forever more,
There will be something for...

Damian "Jr Gong" Marley, One Loaf of BreadGang War

{Notice that Stephen had a hand in all of Damian's Dopest Songs}

Machel!!!The Caribbean's Big Soca Fish



As soon as I hit a caribbean party, I look for the Trini's. No lie they can wine till like they have extra bones in their waist. The party doesn't stop for them.

The same is true of one of their brightest musicians-Machel Montano A big fish in the caribbean world, but still undiscovered elsewhere. Machel Montano's JamRock magazine article inspired me this week. Despite his obvious and rich talent and offers from everyone from Delicious Vinyl to Atlantic Records, he chose his craft over crossover fame which would cause him to dilute his music. He produces his music on his own label Mad Bull Music. He is patiently awaiting his inevitable blow up. It will come, he knows this, but it will come in his time and in his fashion. Amazing.! Kiss to Machel!

My Song Forever! Allison Hinds Roll It Gyal.


This is my baby's cousin's favorite song. This is for Sue-Ann and all of the ladies who read my blog. And of course the pan of hot caribbean ladies for the men to look at. ( I mean even a specimen as fine as myself gets boring to look at after a few months :)). This song is nice and forever. I always imagined what the video would look like and it's perfect! Not to mention my baby Machel is featured in it. Check out di Video, nuh?
But you have to shut off my little pimp bear. lol

Roll it Ladies!

Stephen Marley's Mind Control



This C.D. was illegally burned and stolen from a wild jamaican after much bartering it made its way back from Atlanta to New York Carefully protected in the pages of Candace Bushnell's "Lipstick Jungle", it is now safely embedded in my Itunes. Usually I wait until i get really familiar with some music before basing my opinion. But I just can't wait. This man's voice scared me-this is the one, this is Bob revisited. Ziggy Marley was ( too me ) a commercial parody and a bit disappointing. I saw him live in Antigua as a kid and I remember sitting in the stands wishing I could go the hell home. But Stephen Marley and Damian"Jr. Gong", have been taking the world by storm and blazing on in their father's legacy with added style. Jr. Gong is easier on the average american and british mans palette, that's fine tho...his talent backs it up...But please don't sleep on Stephen...His voice will make you think Bob is alive and well ( and kinda into hip hop )Mind Control ( early 2007) is in stores now
