World Flavas

Dancehall's favorite singjay is mashing up the place with his steamy single, "Mus Come a Road." The song, which is causing havoc on the dancehall circuit, is produced by Reli of "Raging Bull" fame and penned by Mr. Vegas. "Mus Come a Road" has set the summer on fire. When the pulsating beat drops for "Mus Come a Road," a sense of nostalgia evokes, as the song is built on Barrington Levy's 1982 smash "Prison Oval Rock." Vegas' millennium version of the cult classic thrives with a Barrington Levy sample, which is looped through out the song.

Usain Bolt did some of the latest dance moves while at the Beijing Olympics and to show their appreciation, dancers have created moves to represent the top Jamaican sprinter.

After completing the 100 metre men's finals, Bolt did Ovamar's 'Nuh Linga' and after the 200 metre finals he did Ice's 'Gully Creepa' and Shelly Belly's 'Nineties Rock'.

Upon seeing Bolt's actions, Ice says he was pleased to see the athlete show aspects of the Jamaican culture on the international stage; but more so because Bolt chose to do his dance.

Hi Malaika,

my problem is that i am in love with my best friend. we hang out almost every day. we both work in the same building and have know each other almost all our lives.

I want to tell my friend about my feelings but i am so scared, see we are both the same sex and my friend is straight. My friend doesn't know that i go both ways and i know how my friends feels about homosexual, but i can't keep it inside anymore.

I almost want to stop seeing my friend because the feeling is now too strong. What should I do? Should I let him know?  Help!

 

NEW YORK (Billboard) - On a recent subway ride from Brooklyn to Manhattan, soca phenomenon Machel Montano was jolted from the anonymity he enjoys in some areas of New York when a female passenger shouted in a thick Trinidadian accent, "Machel Montano's on this train!," prompting many strap-hangers to hurriedly take out their camera phones.

 That Montano, the most in-demand musical export from the oil-rich southern Caribbean republic of Trinidad and Tobago -- where soca originated -- can anonymously ride a train for several stops and then suddenly be swarmed by adoring fans reflects the dichotomy of his musical stature.

So you know I have been trying to keep you posted on DMX Fu^%$#y, it's hard to keep up, but I think this is my last post, I am so DONE. He can't even behave himself in court so what's the use to even try to feel sorry!

Solange anticipated album "Sol-Angel and the Hadley st Dreams" is out today, honestly I love just about every song on it, especially "I decided". Go and get it, download it (legally) and support good music. Here is a taste of the album...

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ at around 3:00 AM on August 23rd, Puff Daddy, aka Diddy, aka Sean "Puffy" Combs, aka Sean Combs, was being driven by an entourage on the Sunset Strip. One of the cars didn't have proper tags and deputies from the L.A. County Sheriff's Department made the stop. We're told the other three cars in the entourage stopped as well. It's Sheriff Dept. policy to call for backup when other cars linger at a traffic stop.

 Backup arrived and the driver of the second car became "extremely uncooperative," to the point he had to be detained. At that point, Diddy and the remaining five or six members of the entourage got out of their cars and began walking toward the detained member of their posse. That's when one deputy drew his weapon, not knowing what the dudes were up to. We're told at the time the weapon was drawn, deputies did not know Diddy was part of the group. Ultimately things became peaceful, the detained guy was let go and everyone lived happily ever after ... for the rest of the night. BTW, the guy who was stopped -- turns out he was in a rental car so he wasn't ticketed.

With the hot new single Shake It Off on the Soca Fusion Riddim by Supa Hype now getting some radio airtime dancehall duo Dohlance & Saylah otherwise called DNS is pushing to get that much needed exposure as newcomers, so much so that they're now addressing comparisons that they can be just as good if not better than the current reigning dance champs RDX who as a duo has released some of the biggest dance singles to date.

Dohlance who is the older of the two explains that like RDX, they have put in the ground work and is now ready for the big leagues. "Is a longtime now DNS a do music and we've been throught the struggles we spend nuff days a practice, get whole heap a turn down and invest nuff studio time and is not a luck ting a serious work. RDX now is a set of yute we respect, dem start up the  dance ting and dem perfect pon we dem do but our ting is deejay ting so right yah now we wouldn't say we're the next RDX, we would say we are the next hot duo, the standard set and now a time to maintain it".
