A disclaimer. The information you read is gathered from various newspapers, the internet and other sources. To keep the news short and sweet I have summarized and kept it to reflect the thoughts of the person(s) interviewed. I will be listing some upcoming events that will keep the tri-state area informed. I will continue to improve and give you more news as time goes by. Send me an  if you've got something to contribute.

Infiniti Movement and Love Bimma's boat ride was a success. The early rain and thunderstorm forecast from the weatherman really put a damper on an event that we believe would have been tremendously more successful than it was. Well you know rain don't stop anything in foreign. Anyway, those who braved it (because the rain didn't fall as predicted) said to hell with the rain had themselves a wicked time. From the get go, we heard Freddie McGregor's "Big Ship" start the cruise then JohnSilver taking over the wheels of steel from Tullo Bimma to continue giving the crowd the music they paid to hear. They heard a mix of reggae that featured Beres Hammond's "One Dance", George Nooks' "Change My Mind", Ed Robinson's "Knocking on Heaven's Door", Sanchez thrilling the ladies letting them know they were "One In A Million", Thriller U's "I'll Prove It to You" which we did with music from the early 80s, 90s into the millennium. We had old school R&B, studio 1s for the over 35 crowd who really enjoyed themselves. Then came the 23 and over crowd who were bouncing to the pulsating beats of Capleton, Elephant Man, Beenie Man right into a double dose of Next with "Wifey and Too Close". The ladies were off the hook. I have received several calls from people to say it was the best event they've been to all year and I must get them a copy of the video tape. The music was right, food was right and the cruising up the Hudson to the Statue of Liberty really made the trip worth it. There were more women on this boatride than guys. Where were the men? Who needed them when we had the girls "brucking out" and waving off dem matey. We saw a few people running along the pier trying to catch the boat after it started moving out of the dock. Sorry, but next year you should be early so you don't get left. For all the support we got, I would like to say BIG BIG THANKS! We are already contemplating two dates for next year's boatride. It is either going to be July 14 or August 18 of 2001. Again, thanks for the support. Our next hired boatride will be on August 6 of this year. Again, this is a hired event. 


Destiny's Child Latest Saga!
What the fuck is going on with this group I just found out they fired their last two hires who were brought in to replace Latavia and Latoya. I need a skateboard to keep up with these girls. Aren't you guys glad you aren't married to these girls? I am cause I would certainly choke somebody. I will get more about them and let you know
  • Kelendria Rowland (Kelly), born 2/11/81, is said to be of a sensitive nature.
  • LaTavia Robertson, born 11/1/81, is said to be the sassy member of the group.
  • LeToya Luckett, born 3/11/81, is said to be the wild and crazy one of the group. The others say "there is never a dull moment when La toya is around." She is also is a firm believer in God.
  • Beyoncé Knowles, born 9/4/81, is nicked named the "mother" of the group. Her father (Matthew Knowles) is the manager of the group and executive producer of their first album . She has also produced part of the 2nd album.
Lawsuit Filed! Well the latest on the almost defunct group is that LeToya and LaTavia have filed an official lawsuit. The suit names Beyonce, Kelandria, and Beyonce's father Matthew Knowles, the group's manager. The suit claims that Kelly and Beyonce set out on various talk shows and forums bent on destroying their names and career. LaTavia and LeToya said they did not withdraw from the group even after all the malicious acts to force them out of the group as is being reported. They say it was about a month after when Kelly, Beyonce and Matthew Knowles brought in Farrah Franklin and Michelle Williams, the new members, that they left the group. Since then LaTavia and LeToya have been appearing on MTV, BET, VH-1 and other media to set the record straight. Just when you thought you had heard everything, it was founded that LaTavia and LaToya did not finish school as was required. The manager is supposed to bring in a tutor to meet the standard requirements for them to receive their high school diplomas. Another spin on this is that Columbia had to shut down the group's website because of an overwhelming amout of hate mail directed at Beyonce and Kelly. 
Ruff Ryder's First Lady Eve will be going to Jamaica again for what they say is a "working holiday". Eve dropped her latest song June 27 on the Ryde or Die album. The last time she was in Jamaica she worked for Solid Agency's "Reloaded". Eve is supposedly starring in Renaissance's "Clock Strikes" which is a year-to-year event at Mas Camp on July 22nd in good old Kingston. Eve was quoted as saying "I made a lot of friends down there the last time and I'm sure we gonna make some more!"  Well, Eve made it to Jamaica and she certainly, according to my sources who are in Jamaica, did very well on stage. Eve is supposedly contemplating buying property in Jamaica. 



TLC for T-Boz of the group TLC. T-Boz is pregnant which was, according to her, a surprize! Shit a surprize? Didn't you or DID you not feel a piece of rod between your legs? Maybe her boyfriend's got a small dick. What the...?! Well, what was surprizing about you getting pregnant? Tell us. She said she suffers from sickle cell anemia. This is not a requirement or some form of new birth control? Helloooo! She said a friend got suspicious after she noticed her eating some monster subway sandwiches and told her to take an xray. Tboz was quoted as saying "I just hope that my child doesn't have an attitude problem like I did. I'm scared I'm gonna get it back,... what I put my Momma through." Chilli (Rozonda Thomas), will be giving me my baby shower. She also states she should be married by the end of the summer to boyfriend/fiance "Mack 10". TBoz is in good spirits and we hope you sit your ass down and take it easy. We wouldn't want a miscarriage?!! Would we?  We are happy for her and hope the kid is no Scrub!!!


Ricky Trooper is contemplating clashing Mighty Crown, who defeated him at World Clash 1999. Trooper said he is anxious to play Might Crown again as he believes their win was a fluke. So be it, Trooper also said he intends to reach Fully Loaded with a box of dub plates and if the promoters don’t let him play he’s gonna fight. Solid Agency (the promoters) have let it be known in the media that any artistes and sound systems who who shows up but is not a part of show will not perform. More on Fully Loaded this weekend.


TANYA STEPHENSTanya Stephens have INSOMNIA. I didn't realize that Tanya Stephens was that funny. I heard about her website INSOMNIA. and decided to pay it a visit. This was some of the most seriously funny comments made from someone directly involved in the music industry. Tanya comments on everyone from Promoters, Artistes down to the Awards show. Check out her website and see for yourself. People tend to label people and they did with Tanya saying she is male bashing and she is a lesbian. I think she speaks her mind and like Elephant Man say "De truth hurts, who can't tek it better splut"! Big up again Tanya Stephens. 
Ricky Trooper Leaves Killamanjaro. After listening to an interview on dancehallreggae.com, I knew the inevitable was about to happen. The last few months saw Trooper dedicating more time to his Troopers Movement. A few dances ago Trooper asked a Brooklyn dancehall if his decision was wrong or right. The place got quiet! It was the general consensus among the fans talking that even though they thought he should remain with Jaro, you could also hear they agreed with Trooper. From the interview on dancehallreggae.com, Trooper made it known that he was the one spending his money to keep Jaro going and that Mr. Harper wasn't too thrilled with the direction Trooper was taking in the early runnings when he just started playing the sound. Trooper stated that it was time to move along as he and Mr. Harper's direction of Jaro was different. Trooper is rated as the top sound killers in the business. Trooper said from now on "Its all about Sound Troopers". Trooper said his venture is different from other selectors because he will not be walking with dubs but will have his own sound, his own killing machine. He advised that the return clash that the massives have been anticipating between King Addies and Bass Odyssey will not happen with him around Killamanjaro but on his own sound. When asked if he met Jaro in a dance what would happen and he replied "How yuh mean, mi a kill dat, Jaro an dem guh suck dem mumma too." Freddie will now be at the wheels of Killamanjaro. Freddie's dead list is growing with Amplex, Rockstar, Soundwave, Jah Creation. In July Freddie will face Mighty Crown in New York at Champions In Action.



Stonewall meets Bass Odyssey in the Bronx this Saturday in the Bronx. Stonewall hails from Antigua and if anyone has been following dancehallreggae.com chatroom, they will see there has been a hype going on about this dance which is a appropriately named "Clash of two Giants" They will meet at the Grand Tyre Hall at 2050 Grand Concourse in the Bronx.  I believe this dance will bring out the ruthless and diehard Jamaicans and Antiguans in New York. After such a hype, Stonewall selectors better come good since Bass Odyssey will be looking to destroy anything in their path after the recent defeat by the upcoming sound Little Rock. 


THE STONEWALL BASS ODYSSEY OUTCOME! First of all, Bass Odyssey arrived without Squingy. As is customary in the Bronx, the dance didn't get started until a little after 2:00am (aren't we lucky. Sometimes it doesn't even start until 3:00am). Stonewall was juggling but wasn't that impressive at first.  A new member of Odyssey named Worm said to Stonewall "You think a suh yuh play fi kill sound". Bass Odyssey took the first half hour segment. Stonewall tried to play out most of Bass Odyssey killing tunes from early. They played some good dubs but something was missing as when they drew Beenie Man's "Crazy", a tune that can be pulled up at least x-amount of times they didn't get the response they hoped for. Easy does it as Bass Odyssey continued their lead in the 15 minute segment as Odyssey tried to sick Stonewall with dubs on the 'Sick' riddim in the second fifteen. Stonewall wasn't looking good at all. In the dub for dub segment Stone Wall turned back Bass Odyssey with a Freddie McGregor counteraction. Stonewall's selector, Berger said "A dem time a morning me start kill because no sound dont have belly like Stone Wall". Guess what? A fight broke out in the dance which ended the night. See you later at the return dance.


4X Tight Dance a Success.  June 16, 2000. I was there, were you? I made a special effort to go this dance because I was impressed with the entourage of ladies that made up this group. They didn't disappoint. They all came looking sexy and alluring. The dance didn't start until about 2:45. Yep, 2:45am. Tippatone, Afrique, First Class and InfraRed provided the juggling. Tippatone kept the massives moving as did Afrique who joined in combination with First Class. InfraRed also did well in their segment. We saw a massive of girls in the dance that were doing their thing and showing the thing in their short shorts. I stood just content to observe. It was about 5:30am when I decided to leave and let the girls do thier thing. Congratulations again to the 4x Tight Girls Crew. See you on my Boatride July 15, 2000. 
July 1, 2000, Fresh Kidz promotions will be inside El Oceano in the Bronx. This event is expected to be corked. It's been well promoted and I will let you know how it turned out. PS, yours truly, INFINITI MOVEMENT along with LOVE BIMMA, will be juggling inside the house along with New York's top sounds Afrique, Tippatone, Klassique, First Class, Infrared and a few other sounds. So all who never hear we play come and see. Performing will be the Fresh Kidz themselves.

July 2, 2000, Guinness Carifest will be having their stage show at Downing Stadium/Randall Islands just over the Triboro Bridge in Manhattan. They have a star studded line up that involves some R&B, the Hip Hop community and a host of Reggae artistes.



WAYNE WONDER TURNS PRODUCER.  Singer Wayne Wonder released his first effort as a producer on the "SINGSO" label with a new riddim named "Ambush". There are about 9 artistes on the riddim: Himself, Frankie Sly, Babycham are the most played on air so far. The riddim also features Tonto Metro & Devonte, Mr Easy, Nitty Kutchie, Alley Cat, new artistes Demo Delgado and Alias Showki Ru. There have been an increasing number of artistes turning producer and producing their own riddims as well as their own shows. I hope this trend will lead to more "danceable" music instead of the "head bouncing" and also help to reduce the glut of garbage music that are being released. This will also give the artistes more control creatively and financially. This is an area where producers have prospered over musicians in the past. There have been a lot of artiste-promoted stage shows in Jamaica. It seem like the entertainers will soon have the dancehall business locked for themselves.


Prestige Ladies Presents their G-String Bash.  Thong, thong, thong is what we will be seeing this Friday 5/26/00. Studs Promotion from out of the Bronx will showcase the ladies that dare to bare in Club Mantra in the Bronx. Providing the weather is nice, we should be seeing the intimate side of the ladies. Keeping the gentleman and the ladies busy will be the Prestige Ladies. Concord sound system who already knows the Bronx will be doing the juggling along with the three top female sound systems who are experienced with beach, outdoor, and pool parties. You can bet I will be there. I just love women! This is the time of the year that I love New York... the females expecially that will make me not forget they have the loveliest shapes in the world.


Car Wash Bash. Saturday, June 10, 2000, was a nice day. Nice enough for everyone to come out at the first outdoor event of the summer at the "Car Wash" in Mt. Vernon behind the now defunct Caldors (now K-Mart) shopping center. I was there earlier, about 5 p.m., to check out the set up and early juggling done by City Star sound system. I left and returned later after picking up my sparring partner of Infiniti Movement, Chris Love, who is never without his lady friends. Lucky dog! After I got back, I saw all kinds of girls in their tights and short shorts. I said "yes, summer deh yah". I saw Tony of TC Connection, 4x Tight Girls Crew  (I had to ask if it means dem poon tang 4 times extra tight?). They will be having their dance this week, June 16, 2000. Don't miss it! Yow! Men these girls are sexy. I would like to say big up to the sexy browning ROCHELLE and the dark princesses sexy CUE'T, SHADEE and "slim 'til it buff" PEPSI from the crew. There were about 15 girls from the crew in attendance at this event but I did not get everyone's name. These girls will make you walk with your hands in your pocket! I would like to say respect to them all cause "dem got it going on!" Also on hand were the Fresh Kidz crew -- Tullo and Markie. They introduced the new dance called the HBO. Wicked! If you have never seen these guys perform, you are definitely missing something. Also showing her dancing skills that had the guys tongues hanging was Cheryl who had some of the latest dances (the girl can wine) coming fresh out of Jamaica. Next Dancehall Queen!? City Star took the massives back to the 60s thru the 70s, 80s, 90s and into the Millennium with some nice juggling. Here We Go! As you know there are always some cons when you go to these events. The music was intermittently stopped to ask the slew of motorists who insisted on parking on the streets instead of in the car lots which was a hawk and spit away from where the music was playing. This resulted in the cops coming by and ticketing some cars. The party ended prematurely about 1:30am when someone decided to fire shots into the air because they wanted to go home so they felt everybody else should go home too. What the hell... Can you blame Giuliani for the way he is? Overall the event was a success.
