Deejay Navino has made an exit from the Aidonia- led JOP crew.

According to Navino’s manager Patrick Roach Samuels, Navino made the decision to leave the camp about 3 months ago after being excluded from a tour with Aidonia.

This week Navino released Who God Bless in which he reveals why he left the crew.

Navino’s recent recordings include Age Is Just A Number, Live Forever and Real Friends.

D’Angels says 90% of Artist slated to perform at her B-day were a NO SHOW

April 14th, 2012 | By

D’Angel’s birthday party staged last weekend in Sav-La-Mar was largely unattended, not by patrons but by the many artists who were scheduled to perform.

According to Angel 90% of the artists slated to perform at the party were a no show.

D’Angel spoke out about the incident over the radio this Wednesday (11.04.12) insisting the artists do right by the fans and give them the show they came out for.

Angel said she spoke to everyone including Statious, Ikaya, I-Octane and even her estranged husband Beenie Man leading up to the day of the show and all confirmed that they would attend.

She said that ads were in place for the highly publicized party in Sav la Mar yet everyone except Coco Tea, Twins of Twin, Zamunda and Droop Lion failed to show up on the April 8th date.

D’Angel is planning a free concert for the people of Sav-La-Mar with Beenie Man in the near future.

Charlie Blacks who was also a no show has since apologized to D’Angel and expressed that he will be available for the new date.

Demarco’s  Kingston City has been raising eyebrows since its release about 3 weeks ago as many wonder if the tune is taking lyrical shots at popular Gaza deejay Popcaan.

Demarco spoke to the Star this week not to dispel rumors but certify them.

“People a sey a Popcaan mi a dis, well a Popcaan mi dis, whol’ heap a dem tief mi style including him,” the singjay disclosed

“It was a freestyle I did for ZJ Chrome and my mixtape, the world like it suh dem sey is a dis to Popcaan, so I guess it is so, I guess it’s a dis to Popcaan,” he laughed.

Demarco recently recorded a new rebuttal also produced by ZJ Chrome.  A preview of the track was released just days ago on the TNS riddim.  Take a listen.

Tifa talks Imbalance in Dancehall

April 14th, 2012 | By

In a recent interview Tifa spoke out about the imbalance of respect in dancehall.

The Nuvo Brand Ambassador who rose quickly to the upper echelons of the dancehall fraternity in 2010 says she has faced her share of adversity during her ascent to the top.

“I don’t feel they give women the respect they deserve…To me we haffi work harder, me did haffi work three hundred times harder cause when I started, everyone saw my legs, nobody neva did hear wah come out a mi mouth or go ‘Oh, she too cute fi a sing Dancehall’ cause at that particular time you had to look a certain way, dress a certain way, act a certain way to be a Dancehall artiste and I guess I kinda broke the mold,” she said.

“Yuh have a one man weh come out wid a one gimmick song and dem gi him seh a million dollars to perform and you’ll have a veteran in the business, a woman with a catalogue and they wanna give you less than half of that,” she said.

“Nuff a di man dem jus’ go out deh and sing dem song, nuff a di man nuh know nutten bout performance. Yuh jus’ have a string a hits and yuh go out deh and sing and a woman haffi go out dere and work fi her own. I don’t think that’s fair in terms of monetary balance.”

Despite  percieved obstacles Tifa appears stronger and poised for continued success in 2012.

The deejay has already scored a hit collab with Konshens entitled Destiny and another with Laza Morgan called Love Me 2 while prepping for the summer release of her debut album.
