*R.I.P. Cool Ruler*




The reggae community mourns the loss of one of its legends,
Gregory Isaacs. Isaacs was born on July 15, 1951 in Kingston,
Jamaica and gained recognition and love in the 1970s and 1980s
for hits such as "Night Nurse" and "Rumors."
Nicknamed the 'Cool Ruler' by his fans, Isaacs pioneered his
own sound by mixing traditional reggae with dancehall, thereby 
reinventing the genre and expanding its global fan base into
what it is today. 
"Gregory Isaacs leaves behind an iconic history and catalog that is 
unparalleled," reveals VP Records CEO, Christopher Chin. 
"He devoted his entire life to music and his memory will forever 
live on with us - through his music and the legacy he leaves behind." 
Isaacs fought a year-long battle with lung cancer before passing away 
on October 25, 2010 at his home in London, at the age of 59.
Love Sent.

*Jah Vinci* Straight Gaza Camp*




One of the brightest star of the raising Gaza Empire is
Jah Vinci, real name André Kirk Rhoden,20 years old,
gaining more and more recognition and visibility in
the dancehall industry from Jamrock to the rest of the world.
He started singing back in school and recorded mostly
cultural songs with 357 Records before meeting his 'Teacha'.

where his adventure started.
He is incredibly talented, fresh, original, with an amazing

The recent rumors about Jah Vinci leaving the Camp, following
Blak Ryno departure, are not true and his anserw on the matter

*Rise Up a *Sunday 26 Carib Theatre Kingston*





Rise Up   is a movie/documentary written & directed by Luciano Blotta,
an independent  argentinian filmaker.
Is a journey to the heart of Jamaica.
The movie  showcases  and tells the story of Jamaica's underground 
music community and  struggles, dreams and aspirations of three young artists.
RiseUp features Turbulence, a charismatic lyrical master from the ghetto
in Kingston; Ice, a songwriter from uptown St Andrew and Kemoy,
a timid but very gifted  songstress from Clarendon.
This movie is  totally fresh, good riddims in it too { check the site for a sneak peak }
and the director  goes close and personal. His style is simple but original and authentic.
Rise Up took almost four years to be completed and it's inspired by and
features the graffitied walls in Kingston, Clarendon's views,
Mobay beaches and dancehall parties scattered all over the island
portraying beauty, violence, poverty, inequality ,talent, music, dreams of some
young insiders of the Jamrock underground scene.
Blotta also features veteran jamaican musicians and celebrates and honors
reggae music and his pioneers and between them legends as
Lee 'Scratch' Perry, Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare.
The word Premiere for the movie is been the International Documentary 
Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA), followed by a sneak preview  at True/False 
Film Festival in Missouri where it received the Top Ten Audience Award.
This movie has been racking up awards, official selections for world-renowned
festivals, rave reviews and screening in over 20 countries and is going
to be finally screen also in Jamaica on Sunday 26 October  at the historic
Carib Cinema in Kingston and opens in theatres islandwide the following day.
RiseUp already won the Best Music Documentary Award from the Silver Docs
an American Film Institute, and Discovery Channel Film Festival.
Earlier this year Rise Up was also chosen by  New York's Lincoln Center Film Society
to celebrate Black History Month and the film was broadcasted by many networks
worldwide, including BBC.
Born in Argentina and based in Los Angeles, Blotta grew up loving  Marley's
music.
When he was a student at the University of Miami, he was invited
to Jamaica where he discovered the music of some of the upcoming Jamaican
artist. Botta with his genuinity surely created some sort of Contemporary
Masterpiece about Jamrock
and this is going to become a classic as
"The harder they come"  or "Shotta".

Don 't be lazy and go to the movie theatres i also heard of a party in TelAviv
with the film crew Sunday night in Kingston.

*Ziggy Marley Pro Marijuana Song*

Ziggy Marley releases his latest song, a pro-hemp/marijuana anthem
entitled, A Fire Burns For Freedom.
If you are a Ziggy  Fan I 'm glad to let you all know that this song is
free to download for the listeners ,as part of a larger set of free downloads, 
called the Wild and Free Singles offered by the Zyggy and his record 
label, Tuff Gong Worldwide.The Wild and Free Singles
available at www.ziggymarley.com, are a collection of free downloads .
Here some of his quoted quotes about Marijuana Topic.
"We need to enlighten people about the multiple uses the plant has 
beyond its recreational, spiritual and medicinal uses. This plant in both
its forms, hemp and marijuana,is a gift from nature to us. It has medicinal 
value, environmental value, nutritional value, as well as energy value. 
The seeds of the plant could cheaply provide nutrition for malnourished 
children all over the world. We should free the plant in all aspects of its uses."
A Fire Burns For Freedom is the second song released in his Wild and
Free Series, and comes right after his first release, Africa Land, 
which supported the historic moment of  Africa's hosting of the 2010
World Cup for the first time.
