What Tha ...

Below is the reason why Jamaicans no longer get U.S. visas.

Bail for Bounty

Bail for beating up your girlfriend of 3years $200,000. Posting bail before it is your turn to empty the morning bucket priceless. If Bounty Killa had a Master Card advertisement right now it would sound something like that.
Along with the granting of bail, Resident Magistrate Georgiana Fraser has since ordered Rodney ‘Bounty Killa’ Pryce to participate in mediation sessions and that he must report to the Constant Spring Police station on Wednesdays. Now that some real anger management.. get it .. Anger Management… oh forget it.
A stop order was also placed on him for travel and he is required to surrender all travel documents. Guess the RM Fraser didn’t hear that the U.S government already took care of that for her.
Bounty was previously denied bail because he had another matter in the Gun Court.
Killa is scheduled to return to court on June 29.

Unfortunately for the complainant Ms. Kadeem Baker who has since dropped the charges against the DJ her problems are just beginning. She has since been arrested and charged her for creating public mischief. Any bets on how many packs of smokes she is worth on the Fort Augusta Prison Exchange?

No bail for Bounty Killer

Jamaica Observer
Wednesday, April 14, 2010

A weary-looking Bounty Killer will have to wait until Friday to find out if he will be granted bail.

The dancehall deejay was remanded in custody by Resident Magistrate Georgiana Fraser, during his appearance in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court this morning.

Bounty Killer, whose real name is Rodney Pryce, is accused of assaulting his girlfriend after she told him their three-year relationship was over, and of threatening her life over the telephone in the presence of police officers.

Today Pryce seemed subdued, lowered his head and bore a weary look when RM Fraser informed him that he would be returned to jail.

This is the second time he has been refused bail by the judge who said threatening a witness was a serious offence and informed the deejay that he had committed the offenses while out on bail for illegal possession of a firearm and unlawful wounding.

Police told the court that Pryce's associates have been intimidating the complainant to drop the case.

The woman has reportedly expressed the desire to drop the charges.

Pryce is represented by attorney Linda Wright.

Across the street from the courthouse in the parking lot of a plaza on Maxfield Avenue, several of the deejay's supporters were visibly upset when news broke that Pryce would be returning behind bars. One woman cried openly.

The supporters also had harsh words for the complainant who they blamed for Bounty Killer being remanded.

Bounty Killer is one of several dancehall artists whose US visas have been revoked in recent weeks.

Bugle and the Man Purse

Now I’m not picking on Bugle, I feel kind of sorry for him after all he exercise every day and he is still not fit. But why if he has friends and people around him why is it that he constantly go out in public in pants that have the consistency of female leggings? Now the good man is looking to 6year old girls for inspiration. The only people I know of who would actually wear such an accessory and think they are high fashion is a pre-teen girl. If you ask me I think his pants were too tight so his wallet could not fit in his pockets... but now i wonder does he have to tuck if that's the case?

Natalie Storm wants outRAGEous Action

Kingston, Jamaica. April 9 2010 : Hot on the heels of her success with her MTV hit "Look Pon Me", Natalie Storm has teamed up with Shadyhill Records newest act Rage, to unleash an outrageously catchy party anthem.

"Action Mi Want" is one of the hot songs on the brand new Hang Ova Riddim from Skatta Productions. The song is reminiscent of the good musical times of the early nineties featuring suggestive but clean lyrics from both artists.

When asked about how the collaboration came about Natalie responded," We were just vibing in Prodigal studio and the melodies started flowing. Rage and I have done songs for overseas projects together before but never anything locally and this song just felt like the right energy."

The Hang Ova riddim features acts such as Elephant Man and the debut of the Fluffy Diva herself, Ms. Kitty.

Kadine and Bounty: A love story

'Me and Rodney are going to work it out,'

That was the statement made to the Jamaica Star and a few other dancehall related sites by Ms. Kadine Baker. The woman who Rodney ‘Bounty Killer’ Price allergy beat like a slave without papers recently, now is saying that she is willing to work it out with the artiste and wants to see him released.

Ms. Baker, the complainant in Mr. Price’s current assault case, which is now before the court, said she reported the matter to the police because at the time of the alleged incident, she was angry.

Kadine told the Star:
"I reported it at the time because I was upset, but it's the first domestic offence and me and Rodney are going to work it out."

While admitting that she had in fact told the deejay that the relationship was over, she said: "I don't want it to end again, 'cause wi good."

She said she is really bothered by the fact that the deejay is now in custody and said: "Mi really waan see him back pan di road. I think him learn him lesson now."

Baker said the two have been a couple for three years and began dating after the deejay expressed a liking for her. She said: "We have had our disputes, but it has never been physical."

Baker, a model and student, is set to appear in deejay Spice's video for the single Back Broad. She is the one in the white. Also can one of her friends rent or download that Tina Turner movie for this young lady because clearly she needs some help.

Bounty Denied Bail

In case you were wondering Bounty Killer will have to spend at least the next week in jail after he was denied bail in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court Wednesday April 7,2010 on assault charges.

Bounty, has been in custody since Monday when he was arrested on a warrant by officers from the Constant Spring Police Station.

The court heard that on March 30, his girlfriend Kadeem Baker a student and model, told police that the deejay had assaulted her. She had been involved with the deejay for three years, and when she told him that she wanted to end the relationship and had moved on with her life he got Cross! Hangry! Misarable! and hit her all over her body. It was also alleged that after his arrest the deejay threatened the complainant, in the presence of police officers.

As this was revealed in court, Bounty shook his head defiantly, disagreeing with the allegations.

Bounty was led into court along with other inmates, and pleaded not guilty before Resident Magistrate Judith Pusey. His lawyer, Linda Wright, in attempting to get bail for the accused, said her client did not threaten the complainant. She also challenged the officers to produce a signed statement, whether by an officer who overheard the alleged threat or by the complainant herself.

Ms. Baker revealed that she did not sign that statement as at the time she was reconsidering pressing charges. The police told the court that the complainant was surrounded by a circle of entertainers who were encouraging her to do away with the case. A policeman said the complainant was fearful for her life.

The deejay's attorney said the artiste did not make a threatening call in front of the police at the station and said, in fact, that it was Ms. Baker who had informed the officer that she had received a call from the deejay. She said it was at this point that the officers confiscated the Killa's phone. The attorney said the allegations had been exaggerated as the medical report attached to the file was very general and made no reference to any serious injuries.

RM Pusey told the court that the deejay had a similar matter before the court recently that was dismissed at the complainant's request. She said: "He had a very similar case recently and this one is going in the same direction, just because of the notoriety of the accused. But I am not impressed by those things. I am not concerned about Bounty Killer."

She said she would not grant bail as the accused was currently on bail for a gun-related and assault matter, as well as a marijuana charge, and the law speaks strongly about persons who reportedly commit offences while on bail. She also said the allegation of threats made to the complainant was another factor why bail was being denied.

The matter will be tried on April 14.

Bounty Beats Girlfriend

Can someone please tell me what the hell is wrong with Mr. Rodney Basil Price aka Bounty Killer? Only days after getting his U.S visa revoked the Five Star General is now behind bars for assaulting his girlfriend Kadeen.

According to police reports on Thursday March 25, 2010 Bounty Killer's girlfriend attempted to end their three year relationship. However things got sour as he decided otherwise. This resulted in a fight after which she reported the matter to the Constant Spring Police. Bounty was later arrested and charged with Assault Occasioning Bodily Harm.

Bounty Killer was refused station bail after using his one phone call not to call his lawyer, manager or someone who could remotely assist him in his situation. Instead he called the young woman to further threaten her. He is scheduled to appear in court April 7, 2010 in the Half Way Tree Resident Magistrate Court.

Buju Banton Denied Bail

It should come as no surprise that on Friday (March 28, 2010) the United States magistrate yesterday rejected a bail application for reggae Mark ‘Buju Banton’ Myrie.
The magistrate also denied a request from lawyers representing Buju for him to be moved to a non-maximum security penal institution.
US magistrate Anthony Porcelli said he would not order Buju's release because he believes there is a high risk he could flee to his home country of Jamaica.
The magistrate also said he would not interfere with the operations at the Pinellas County Jail where Buju is currently being held.
Attorney-at-law David Markus had gone to court claiming that Buju had lost 40 pounds because he was denied the vegetarian diet, a requirement due to his persuasion. Also that his mental and physical health had been rapidly deteriorating.
Marcus claimed Buju had been transferred to a maximum security section of the jail and this was hindering his ability to prepare for his trial, which begins in weeks.
However a federal prosecutor told the court that the claim that Buju was being treated inhumanely was a lie.
Instead the Assistant US Attorney General James Preston presented evidence which showed that Banton gained 11 pounds since being in custody thus disputing the 40 pounds weight loss his lawyers previously stated.
The court was told that Buju was 150 pounds when he was booked into the Pinellas County Jail on January 5, and when he was weighed recently his weight was 161 pounds.
Markus challenged those records, asserting Buju's weight when he was booked was just an estimate.
However a jail official said the numbers were supported by records kept by jail medical staff, who weighed Buju several times during his detention.
Markus complained he hadn't seen the records before the hearing.
According to the prison official, Buju never asked the jail chaplain, who handles such requests, if he could be placed on a vegetarian diet.
The official said he reviewed records of Buju's commissary transactions and found purchases of meat and fish, including chicken, tuna and mackerel.
According to the jail official, he has since directed that Buju be given a vegetarian diet. Markus said Buju gave other inmates the meat he bought in the commissary and had filed a diet request with the chaplain.
The prison official also rejected claims that Buju was being housed in a maximum-security section.
He said Buju was being kept in an older part of the jail where the security arrangements were different, but not punitive, because he argued with a prison official who told him not to give his food away.

Three questions for Jamaican DJ’s from ‘bigblackbarry’

By FIRST


Call us miserable but some things really need to be said about the music, it’s been bad for a while and it’s getting worse. In fact, have we already reached the point where all new artists are either generic ex-dancers or ‘i-insert-authentic-Rasta-name’?

It wouldn’t be so bad except for the fact that our music is what makes us known around the world: good or increasingly bad. The retarded spectacle of a deejay in tight pants preening onstage with his mantourage burning out gays. It won’t sell and it will get you banned…

We’re embarrassed and so should everybody. And yet the few with talent and originality that manage to breakthrough despite the backward local industry, often end up throwing it all away, like Sizzla after his classic Real Thing album.

Three questions tweeted from our equally curmudgeonly friend @bigblackbarry to be asked of all deejays, producers, journalists and whomever else we should hold responsible for 99.9 per cent of the sickness that passes for music locally:

1. When dem a do di battyman tune dem an pose up wid gunman, it neva occur to dem seh visa can tek whey?

2. When dem a stick up promoters an doan show up fi dem dates it neva occur to dem seh it ago dun?

3. Wen dem a do a riddim album a month an saturate the market till di music jus a last fi 2 weeks, it neva occur to dem seh it woulda dun?

Ah Who Obeah Vivian

Howard Campbell,
Gleaner Writer

Vivian Blake, fabled founder of the notorious Shower Posse, is dead. His lawyer, George Soutar, told The Gleaner that Blake died at the University Hospital of the West Indies Sunday evening.
Soutar said he did not know the cause of death, but heard that the 54-year-old Blake was admitted to hospital Saturday with breathing problems.
Blake, Soutar added, suffered from kidney disease and had been receiving dialysis.

Blake was deported to Jamaica in January 2009 after serving eight years of a 28-year prison sentence in the United States. In 1999, he was extradited to that country to face multiple racketeering and drug-smuggling charges.
After Blake and several members of the Shower Posse were indicted by Federal authorities in 1988, Blake eluded authorities in the US and fled to Jamaica. He struck a deal with the 'Feds' in 1999 and returned to the US one year later.
Soutar said he last spoke to Blake on Wednesday.
"He sounded quite normal, his usual effervescent self. He told me he was working on a movie script (about the Shower Posse)," Soutar said.

The Shower Posse was considered one of the most dangerous gangs in the US during the 1980s. American law enforcement linked them to more than 1,000 murders throughout the country.
Blake was born in west Kingston and attended St George's College. He is on record as saying he started the Shower Posse while living illegally in Brooklyn, New York, in the mid-1970s.



Strong JLP ties
The Shower Posse had strong ties to the Jamaica Labour Party, which formed the Government from late 1980 to early 1989.
West Kingston enforcer Lester Lloyd 'Jim Brown' Coke was reputedly a member of the Shower Posse. He was awaiting extradition to the US to face drug charges when he died mysteriously in his jail cell in February 1992.
Blake and the Shower Posse have been somewhat romanticised in recent years. Their chilling story has been chronicled in the 2003 book The Shower Posse: The Most Notorious Crime Organisation, written by Blake's son Duane, and as part of Black Entertainment Television's acclaimed American Gangster series.

Lawyers Seek Bail for Buju

Arthur Hall, Senior Staff Reporter
The Gleaner

Lawyers representing reggae superstar Buju Banton have gone to court with a belated attempt to get him released on bail.
The lawyers claim that Buju, whose correct name is Mark Myrie, has not been provided with a diet in accordance with his religious views and has lost 40 pounds since being in prison,
In documents filed yesterday, the lawyers asked the court to allow a bail hearing for the dancehall star, and if bail is not allowed, to order that he be moved to a non-maximum security unit.
Buju, and two alleged co-conspirators, have been in custody in the United States since last December when they were charged with conspiracy to possess cocaine and aiding and abetting the carrying of a firearm during a drug trafficking crime.
Initially, Buju's lawyers said they would not apply for bail because his US visa had been revoked, and even if released on bond, the dancehall star would remain in custody at an immigration facility.

Recent developments

But in the papers filed in court yesterday, David Markus said recent developments had forced them to apply for bail or alternative relief.
"We did everything we could to avoid filing the instant motion, but the most recent actions carried out against Mark Myrie require us to seek assistance of this court," Markus said in the emergency motion.
"Although he had been able to make appropriate meals in the kitchen with food he purchased from the commissary, he does not have that ability in his new maximum security wing.
"In addition, the living areas and kitchen are unsanitary, and the showers do not work. Because he is being treated inhumanely, we have no choice but to file this motion for bond," added Markus.
He said Buju was moved to the maximum security section of the prison last week after he shared his food with a fellow inmate.
"In sum, Mr Myrie is now in a maximum security wing for caring enough to offer food to another inmate who was hungry, and genuinely believing there was nothing wrong in doing so," said Markus.
He argued that the decision to transfer Buju to the maximum security section was affecting him mentally and physically and affecting his ability to prepare for a trial which begins in three weeks.
But University of Miami Professor attorney-at-law David Rowe yesterday told The Gleaner that it was highly unlikely that Buju would be granted bail.
"Buju will not get pre-trial release because he has an immigration hold. The statute makes selling narcotics an aggravated felony for offenders and makes them subject to removal or deportation," Rowe said.
The motion is expected to be heard in court this Friday

Rail Up for the Retards

Every day there is a debate on how music was much better years ago compared to now. No doubt the luxury of a 5, 10 or even 20 years of time passing could give the listener a more discerning ear. Also when you truly listen to much of what the rhetoric is about, it is becomes clear.

Much of what is revered is mostly a romanticized version of what the song is and or says. It is more centered on feelings and possible experiences that said song(s) was the soundtrack to.

It was Nietzsche who said; “Without music, life would be an error.”

That may be true in some cases, however when it comes to some songs the error is not how to live without them but why were they ever made. This serves as a reminder for everyone that retarded songs are not just the phenomena of contemporary music.

Not Another Jamaican T-Shirt

Superficially, Jamaicans and Germany are an unlikely combination. But then the Germans could do with a bit of colour and unpredictability and we just need to buy things that work… like BMWs (that test the very limits of vehicle suspension), or free t-shirts from our good German friends at seen.

Last Sunday Tobias Huber and Gabriel Holzner, who run seen., tipped us off about the latest version of their site, which relaunched yesterday, and a new series of Jamaica-inspired t-shirts for Spring 2011. The new site is very clean and robust (they did FIRST also), while the t-shirts themselves are subtle, relying on the strength of their graphic design. Thankfully also, no cheesy overuse of the national colours.

Our favourite from the new collection is the T above, part-inspired by the ‘everyone is a celebrity’ mentality of Kingston nightlife, no matter how overweight or rum-soaked. Nothing makes us feel better than foreign. Meantime the Germans like Jamaica just the same, explains Tobias. Just more strangely…

“There’s this one woman living in Negril hiding from German police after getting involved in the drug business a little too much, there’s this guy in Bluefields who has a weakness for Jamaican girls and who seriously asked us whether we have ‘tried out’ crack yet as it was the shit.

“And there’s that author who knows a damn lot about Jamaican history and politics who is living in Long Bay, and who spent a couple of years in prison for shooting at German police during the RAF years (Cold War-era terrorist group). He is running a guest house now. And there’s that Austrian guy training dangerous dogs in Spanish Town. Dylan also told me about German Town west of Kingston but I have never visited that place so far.”

*Now go buy a t-shirt: www.seen-site.com/shop/

Love the "Life Sweet" one more, Love the Sexy Germans too, but I love them for more than one reason. Great work as usual. You have to be super stupid not to buy at least 2 shirts people.

The A.I.D.S. List

Remember when that rumor started about Elephant Man having A.I.D.S.? The last time I checked children don’t come from storks or planes but from unprotected sex. As is, his last child count seems to only be comparable to the time square debt clock. Then you had him playing a supporting role that gave Rosie her Groupie Award last year for her role in the drama How to Raffle a Belly: A love story. This had a number of prominent artists making cameo appearances mentioned for parental ownership. Names like Craig from Voicemail eventually with the aid of modern technology the belly sailed over to the Big Ship. The last time I checked that would mean a number of these artists are having unprotected sex with very questionable vaginas; forget sex workers (i.e. New Kingston prostitutes) the new high risk group in Jamaica are Entertainers.

Just incase you were living under a rock for the past few weeks the mad geniuses over by First Magazine are back at it again. I could go on in flowery language and make grand analogies to phoenixes and sleeping giants but are you crazy we are talking about First! All new and web cantered with layout and designs so clean you can eat off it. They spoil us so, because anything near normal, then we would see the definition of jungle justice.

Everything you loved about the First Magazine has been amped up and made even better (was that even possible). Still great articles that cover a wide spectrum of interests from the irrelevant and strange to really important news worthy pieces that never seem to make it on the evening news. However if reading is too much of a chore for you the Girl Fridays’ will sure to keep you revisiting the First site with lots of lotion by your computer.
