The first single and from Mr. Cheeks’ upcoming albumAnd The Winner Is…will be titled “Havin’ Fun,” which features singer Mya Azucena.
“I know you all are tired of that fast food rap,” Mr. Cheeks said. “Get ready ‘cuz I’m gonna fill in the holes of the current hip-hop music scene, I’m about to feed you a four-course hip-hop meal.”
Mr. Cheeks began associating with the Marley family in 2007, when he began work on the single “Iron Bars” from the Marley’s Grammy Awardwinning album, Mind Control.

Additionally, Mr. Cheeks has worked with Stephen’s brother Damien on a number of projects over the years, including his Grammy Award winning album Halfway Tree.
“Stephen Marley and the Marley brothers are my extended family, the connection I have with them is a blessing,” Mr. Cheeks said. “Since our first meeting at Lollapolooza in the late 1990’s and through the constant musical collaborations we have been able to establish throughout the years, one thing always remains the same, and that is a common goal of creating purely good music with conscious viewpoints and positive vibes.

A bit of reflection on a sad day:No singer better exemplified the intersection of rap and R&B in the ’90s than Nate Dogg, the Long Beach hook singer who died yesterday at age 41 after years of failing health. R&B singers had been adopting hip-hop attitudes for years before Nate Dogg’s…

( l - r ) Carolyn Cooper, Vybz Kartel
Deejay Vybz Kartel is eyeing his guest lecture at the University of the West Indies (UWI) tonight as a good step for not only himself but dancehall music.
The deejay will be creating waves today when he speaks on ‘Pretty as a Colouring Book: My Life and My Art’, at the Undercroft of the Senate Building on the UWI campus. The deejay was invited to lecture by Professor Carolyn Cooper who teaches a course on ‘Reggae Poetry’ in the Department of Literatures in English. The announcement of Kartel’s lecture raised a number of eyebrows on various social networking sites, but the deejay is looking at the opportunity as a positive one.CLICK READ MORE TO VIEW VIDEOS

Why Heathens Reign
When one individual can hold supreme power and ominous influence with a select few to formulate an oppressive regime that ignores the basic rights and freedoms of a nation through violence and suppression you have a heathen who reigns.
Heathens have inexplicable power and tremendous immoral capital. Heathens are unconscionable in the use of force. Heathens prescribe extreme obedience to their will requiring idolatry over those they rule. This is why heathen reign.
This is extreme heathenism however, there are instances of heathenism that we all face unbeknownst. It exists amongst a group of people who spare no expense and effort to maintain a status quo between the haves’ and have nots’ and future haves’ and have nots’. They refuse to embrace moral obligations because it diminishes their god-like status. This is why heathen reign.
Upon hearing track 17 from the album Relentless “Why Heathen Reign” by Beky Glacier I am awakened to a daunting reality that threatens our very existence if we continue to allow heathens to reign.
My heart is filled with hope as I pray that “the meek inherit the earth” as we endure the pain inflicted by the heathens today occurring not only in North Africa, and the Middle East but in every crevice and corner of the world.
It strikes a chord within me when Beky Glacier expounds “I check my facts I check my history/it is still a puzzle and a mystery/how dem bwoy yah get di victory/ an dem leave us living in a misery/we’ve been suffering so long/ and we never done dem no wrong/burdens is so heavy but we are so strong/tell me how long will this prolong… ..(Glacier, 2010)
Here is a preview to the song Why Heathen Reign on iTunes.
