Veteran deejay Shabba  Ranks has spoken. The release of his latest song, None of Dem, many speculate is taking lyrical aim at deejay Vybz Kartel. A late addition to Stephen McGregor's February released 'Pepper' rhythm, Shabba's  None A Dem  was released last week. Since then the song has got over 10,000 views on  youtube.com  and has sparked numerous debates on who the veteran deejay is making reference to in his sharply worded song. According to numerous persons on the Internet, the song is making reference to Kartel's  Dancehall Hero  which was released at the end of last year.

Reggae artiste Shabba Ranks has officially been added to the long list of performers who will take over the city of Miami from May 26 to 30 for Best Of The Best Weekend 2011.

KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) — In some of Britain's Caribbean territories and former colonies, judges wear thick wigs of white curls in the tropical heat, sports fans follow cricket religiously, and Queen Elizabeth II is the titular head of state. That doesn't mean people here will be breaking out the tea and crumpets to watch this week's royal wedding. Interest in Friday's nuptials between Prince William and Kate Middleton is breaking down along generational lines in the ethnically diverse British Caribbean. It elicits excitement in some middle-age and older people who see the British royal family as a symbol of stability, and yawns from a younger generation more captivated by the latest dancehall reggae stars.

A song from deejay Vybz Kartel which surfaced on the Internet yesterday has been causing quite a stir due to an extremely controversial line. An excerpt of the song was posted on  www.soundcloud.com  yesterday, in which Kartel is supposedly deejaying about participating in oral sex. In this version of the song, which already has over 5000 views, he is heard deejaying, "mi wah kiss yuh pon dah … jaw deh." The deejay, however, has claimed on social networking site Twitter.com that the song was 'spliced'. The practice of splicing music is a form of editing in which a person's voice is cut and edited into the appropriate place for various effects.

DETECTIVES will have to wait until next month before being able to quiz dancehall artiste Spragga Benz in relation to Friday night's triple murder in McIntyre Villa, also known as ‘Dunkirk’ in Kingston. The Observer was told by the police last night that Spragga Benz, whose real name is Carlton Gordon, is overseas and is not due back in the island before May 17.

POPULAR dancehall Deejay Spragga Benz, was this afternoon listed as a person of interest by the Kingston East police. Investigators want to interview Spragga Benz, whose real name is Carlton Grant, in connection with the triple murder last night in the McIntyre Villa area of the Division. Police have identified two of the dead men as 49-year-old Peter Escoffery, otherwise called 'Stumpy' of MacIntyre Villa, and Kenique Richards, otherwise called 'Runkus' of Lincoln Terrace.

The trial for traffic offences brought against dancehall artiste, Rodney 'Bounty Killer' Price, suffered a setback in the Traffic Court in St Andrew yesterday as there was confusion as to what charges were withdrawn on his previous court visit and which charges actually remained. The matter was eventually adjourned for continuation on July 13. The trial was marred by several delays including a late start.
