  • Nesbeth Inspires A Nation With "My Dream"

    By now we all know that one of the hallmarks of the two major political campaigns for Gordon House in the recently concluded general elections in Jamaica was Nesbeth's monster hit ‘My Dream’. Well the dream of then opposition leader Andrew Holness leading his party to victory after being trounced five years earlier became a reality on Thursday, February 25th as he was sworn in as Jamaica's ninth Prime Minister on Thursday March 3rd ,2016. In an address to the nation during his inauguration The Most Honorable Prime Minister's said "My Dream is for you to live your dream" drawing reference from a song that had become an inspirational cornerstone for him during his arduous island-wide campaign leading up to this moment. So on Thursday afternoon after receiving a personal invitation from the Prime Minister designate, Reggae recording artiste Nesbeth had to be present to perform the song in what has gone down in the annals of Jamaican politics as an historical moment when Prime Minister Holness joined him on stage to sing and share in the momentous occasions, much to the adulation of those in attendance. For Nesbeth, despite the untimely loss of his beloved wife Ann-Marie Elliott-Nesbeth , it was a proud moment nonetheless and another step in upward mobility for the Reggae genre. He however got a chance to grieve publicly for the first time at the reception at Vale Royal where he delivered a tearful tribute to his wife ."Too much fi one man bear" said Nesbeth as the tears flowed freely, following the moving performance the Prime Minister in a gesture of comfort offered his condolence to the singer and his family. Lamenting on the situation Nesbeth said, “This day will go down in history for many including I&I. Today I realised that the strength of a man comes from deep within," The task of performing during this time of grieving seemed liked an uphill task, but I thought about instilling hope in the people of Jamaica and that propel led me to perform. Then I came to realise we have two choice in times of adversity, hold on to our dreams and keep inching forward or allow our dreams to die." Despite the mix of emotions for Nesbeth, his Entertainment Soul produced single My Dream continues to be a tower of strength in his own life amid opening a plethora of career opportunities. My Dream recently won song of the year at the Jamaica Reggae Industry Association - JARIA award ceremony and now enjoys premium rotation on BBC 1Xtra following last week’s announcement of the record being upgraded to their A-List alongside top tier acts such as Rihanna and Kendrick Lamar among others. The song is also doing very well on Capitol Xtra (Britain), Hot 97FM (New York) and currently occupies the No.1 spot for five consecutive weeks in Jamaica while bullying its way to the top of the Barbados and St. Kitts & Nevis charts respectively. Meanwhile, Nesbeth's latest body of work an EP titled Victory, available on all major digital platforms.. is described as solid modern roots reggae compilation that builds the foundation to carry Nesbeth’s message of upliftment, consciousness, and perseverance. While many protagonists of the reggae renaissance come from uptown Kingston, Nesbeth endured the dire conditions of inner-city communities like Maxfield Avenue, Arnett Gardens and Trench Town and knows all too well what he sings about when he employs lines like “Been through the worst of my worst days/now I can taste victory”. In his single titled ‘Taste Victory.’

  • Flippa Moggela brother Kemar Davis sentenced to 20 years for drug trafficking.

    Kemar Davis , the brother of Flippa Moggela convicted for his part in smuggling cocaine to New Jersey was sentenced Friday to 20 years in state prison. Kemar and others were directed by Andrew Davis aka Flippa Moggela to ship cocaine from California to New Jersey, where it was then distributed to dealers, investigators said. Prosecutors said that an investigation dubbed "Operation Next Day Air" run by state and federal officials netted 26 kilograms of cocaine, more than $500,000 in cash and two handguns. Kemar and Roger Davis both pleaded guilty and Roger was sentenced to 10 years in state prison for drug charges. Andrew Davis (Flippa Moggela) was convicted after a seven-week trial in December. He faces 10 to 20 years in state prison for the cocaine distribution charge and five to 10 years in prison for money laundering and conspiracy charges. A mistrial was declared on a charge that he led a drug trafficking network. "This case sends a powerful message to drug traffickers who sell addiction, misery and death into our communities — no matter where you live, we're going to investigate you, track you down, and bring you to justice," New Jersey acting Attorney General John Hoffman said in a statement. A co-defendant in the Camden County trial, Marsha Bernard , the common-law wife of Andrew Davis, was sentenced last month to 21 years in prison. Prosecutors say she received large cocaine shipments that she distributed to other drug traffickers. Six other defendants pleaded guilty and were sentenced to between three and 16 years in state prison.

  • A Visual Insight of the Artiste "Tha Hot$hot"

    Raised on the beautiful, yet small island of St. Maarten, Shane “Tha Hot$hot” Kelly became influenced by Hip-Hop music at a young age. Having always been known as the quiet child, he proved his ability to openly broadcast his opinions by dedicating his time to writing a few rhymes every day after coming home from school, as a way to release his tension and thoughts about a variety of topics. Rapidly, Shane started to become increasingly involved with his music and delivering messages in a positive way. Not only did this up and coming rapper develop a new form of confidence, but he made it very clear that he would work his hardest to achieve his dream. “I'm one of the most confident and determined people that you'll ever meet.” Shane says. “I use the positive aspects of my life as motivation to get what I want and need, in order to succeed in the things that I want to accomplish in life.” ​ Shane also discovered a new tool for motivation, following the untimely death of his childhood friend, Gerald “Young G” James , who used to chant raps with him as a child. Knowing how much Gerald supported him, Tha Hot$hot continued to push harder for his dream, and used his friends passing as a source of encouragement to make him, and many other loved ones proud. He made it his goal to create powerful lyrics that have the ability to encourage an audience regardless of their age, race or gender. Tha Hot$hot is currently under the independent record label D.Y. Entertainment , and released his second mixtape “Swagger 101 Vol. 2: From Local to Global,” on May 18th 2012, which was hosted by Toronto's own DJ Wikked .

In addition to these accomplishments, Tha Hot$hot’s website “ thahotshot.com ” went public as well, enabling him to spread his music on a more international platform. Shane continues to dedicate himself to releasing high quality music in every aspect, and is expected to release new original music and more projects to continue adding to his resume, as well as remaining in the spotlight. On September 17th, 2013 Tha Hot$hot released his first official single “ Tropical Limelight” featuring songstress $tekaly Tha Singer . The single was released on iTunes and Amazon, along with a variety of other digital music stores. His label/management D.Y.

This marked his first time covering any magazine and an article on him was featured on pages 6-7. Success nearly repeated itself when the music video for his 1st official single “ Tropical Limelight” landed at #3 in its debut on the Cross Caribbean Countdown on TEMPO Networks. He became the only St. Maarten Artist to debut in the TOP 3 on two separate occasions, and to also secure a TOP 3 position with 3 different videos. The video then went on to capture the #1 position in its 6th and 7th week on the countdown, before being retired at #3 in its 8th and final week. This made him the only St. Maarten Artist to remain at #1 with 2 different videos for consecutive weeks. In March of 2015, he opened the calendar year by adding another accomplishment to his name, as he became one of only a few artists from St. Maarten to have his music video featured on the well known Hip-Hop website “ WorldStarHipHop.com .” The music video for his single “ Out With A Bang ,” which comes off his “Anticipation For Greatness” mixtape was premiered on the website.
