REBIRTH OF THE RYNO

The stage was set kiprich; ready for war; he  looked into the crowd and commanded their respect; as if he was the Don gagon himself ready to take Sting for another year. Unbeknownst to him Black Ryno had a different idea of how the night would go down, and once he touch the stage the crowd knew this would be a night to remember; in the space of three exchanges Ryno had stolen the crowd leaving kiprich in dismay, but he would not go down without a fight. Ryno stayed on the attack until the crowd named their victor; Black Ryno. Sting 2012 may not have worked out in his favor, but he returned to Sting 2013 with blood in his eyes and slayed the returning champion leaving him wondering what hurricane just pass through; Ryno showed jam world that he is indeed the stinger; clutching to his new belt, as if this was only the beginning. 

Ryno seems to be at the top of his game; and Road Show Ja is sure that he has many challengers; looking to make a name for themselves in the industry headed his way. One of which is newcomer Gage who has been trying his best to gain Ryno's attention; Gage in a recent interview on ER called Black Ryno the “Dancehall Football”; Road Show Ja reached out to Ryno to see; if he had a response; Rhino said “Gage is a good artist, but is no match for my wittiness, and tends to live in Tommy Lee’s shadow”. We may have to wait till Bring the sting 2014 to see if Gage gains any momentum with Ryno or will his shots become the echos of his own voice as it did with Tommy Lee. 

Black Ryno is ready to attack 2014 with no mercy; he recently released two new singles; Blessing, and Bicycle; of which he recently shot a video for Blessing, that will be hit television very soon. So make sure you follow Black Ryno on; YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Road show Ja will be watching as the year progresses keeping you in the know #igotmyeyeonyou.

THE RETURN OF MAGNUM'S KINGS AND QUEENS OF DANCEHALL

Yes Jamaica; the Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall is fully charged  for another exciting season. The objective of MKQ is to discover, encourage and showcase talent to aspiring Dancehall artists. It incorporates Dancehalls fashion, lifestyle and the best of Jamaica’s culture. There may be no greater platform with the ability to launch a dancehall artist career in Jamaica, and with MKQ’s popularity growing abroad the diaspora gets a chance to watch the making of a star.

 Participants enter for a chance to win a recording contract, and a cash prize of $ 1,000,000.00  but most of all MKQ is giving Dancehall artist a chance at a career in a 3 billion dollar (US) a year Reggae/Dancehall market where artist such as Shaggy, Sean Paul, and many more have toured the world, and seen diamond selling (more than 10 million copies sold) success. The weekly Fashion Segment returns this season with a people’s choice cyber challenge; known as; “the designer fan competition” giving fans a chance to win $50,000 at the end of the season.

Magnum Kings and Queen Team

With six successful seasons under the belt, and season seven (lucky 7) hitting the airwaves with a bang the Wray and nephew brand Magnum seem to be growing along with the show as viewership seeps over sea creating more demand for Magnum Tonic Wine and other Wray and Nephew products. This season kicked off with the annual talent search for Jamaica’s undiscovered talents; from Sav-la-lamar to Kingston, encountering massive lines of people at every stop ready to give their all for a shot on the hit television show, but first they had to make it through the judges; who had to go through thousands of  contest to find 28 hopefuls to form; teams; castle red and castle blue.

Yanique Barrett

Season seven returned with the host with the most Yanique Barrett also known as the curvaceous diva who seems to be back with a new fire in her eyes. Since Yanique took over the hosting position at MKQ ; she has gained a permanent place in hundreds of thousands of homes across  the country and abroad, the fired up host recently took to her video blog to give fans an intimate behind the scene look at what to prepare for; on MKQ season seven, and fans have responded to her with over 350,000 view across Youtube on her must resent post; with 70% of those view coming from outside of Jamaica, ladies and gents our Yanigue seems to becoming a brand of her own; I think we will be seeing big things from the curvaceous diva in time to come.

Magnum Kings and Queens Judges

The judges are back with world renowned producer Scatta Burrell, one of the most talented lyricist to come out of Dancehall Professor Nuts, and the ultra-diva, Miss. Kitty; the boss lady juggles her time as a Digicel ambassador, host of the hit radio program “Mss kitty Live” on Nationwide 90FM and link up radio;  returning with a slimmed figure to die for, but don’t be confused by the new fizzeek Miss Kitty is not one for the faint at heart some may say she rival; Simon Cowell of American idol with her blunt approach of giving contents the truth with no mercy “step on her stage at your own risk". MKQ also welcomed a new cast member, Dayne “Chike” Morrison who will be holding down Digicel Di Endz ready to recap with artists after their performances.

Last night Castle red; delivered some excellent performances, and Road Show Ja enjoyed every bit of it; while sipping on a couple cold glasses of magnum; our team took to twitter , and facebook; with hashtagged highlights like; Hummy Bling hitting the stage with (#readyfidead), but then he forgot is lyrics, Tassy Diva’s digicel endz moment with Chike giving us a new hashtag (#cripcrip), The Vybz Twinz took the stage as (#teamred) dropping (#dontmakanoise) and Professor Nuts followed up with (#crankitup), but Perdo Don gave it to the crowd with “Mi waah upgrade from grata to blenda”; bringing Miss. kitty to her feet with a (#lalalalala), and  Candy K’ told Magnum (#magnumsimiyah). The night left us wondering who will be back next week so in the words of Pedro Don the resumes are in let’s see who gets the job..

THE TRIAL OF JAMAICA VS D’ANGEL

D'angel

At the greatest one night show on earth (Reggae Sting) on December 26, 2013; D’angel took the stage for the second time that night at the request of the legendary Dancehall dj Ninja Man, and in traditional fashion gave the crowd of over 20,000 people and an unknown amount on pay per view; a show to remember. After the show mainstream media went into a frenzy attacking the first lady of Dancehall; accusing her raunchy behavior, indecent exposure, and the down grading of the Jamaican woman.

Dancehall music has been a part of the Jamaican culture for almost 40 years, and has even surpassed the name Reggae becoming a dominant factor in the international commercial market. Jamaica has alway been marketed to the world as the land of good food, music, and beautiful woman, Sting itself has been a staple in the Dancehall community for 30 years; known for its controversial “boxing day” clashes between rival artists, and has always promoted the freedom to express in an adult setting, this year the promoters of sting serve mainstream Jamaica a blow like none other; it would air the concert outside of Jamaica on the international stage via major media hubs around the world via Pay per view with a major marketing campaign larger than ever been seen in Jamaica, which poke the question was this about D’angel who had done nothing more or less than the women or men who have proceeded her over the last thirty year.

Sintra Arunte-Bronte

Let’s all take a second to reflect on the past for a minute in 1972 Jamaica released a promotion that would grace airports and commercials around the world of the beautiful Trinidadian model Sintra Arunte-Bronte, who was dressed in nothing more than a wet tight tee shirt highlighting a certain part of her female anatomy to attract tourist to come to Jamaica at a time when the world was a lot more conservative than it is today; yet D’angel a mother, and a upstanding member of the entertainment community; who has contributed to many philanthropic endeavors gets crucified for one performance while the whole world twerk on Youtube.

As a result D’angel was band from Reggae Sting for life; Mr. Laing banning an artist from Reggae Sting can only hurt the culture you helped to build, and keep alive for more than 30 years; maybe you should reconsider your position, and simply have a conversation with the acts you had disagreements with, and come to a resolve instead of having the aftermath play out in pubic; showing the world that Dancehall is a close nit community that may disagree at times, but can resolve its issues internally.

Some positives did come from this as D’angel became a trending topic on twitter, and had more than 1.1 million searches to her name on Google days following the event; yielding her a wider fan base; Reggae Sting also received more hits in the cyber world than any other concert in Jamaican history. So lighten up Mr. Laing the public spoke, and we at Road Show Ja believe they have told you who they want to see next year.  It’s time to get over it and restore the first lady to her rightful place, and if I may say she is deserving of some apologies Jamaica.         

Road Show Ja reached out to D’angel to see how she plans to move forward. “I have always been strong and able to overcome any adversity; as I am a firm believer in God, and he always takes me through. Going forward; my sole focus is my career and making good music for my fans across the globe". D'angel

“IN THE DANCE FITNESS JAMAICA” SELLS OUT AT WAL-MART

   

Wasting no time launching her first work out video "IN THE DANCE FITNESS JAMAICA"; Yendi Phillipps started the year off with a bang, setting  social media on fire; Road show Ja picked up on this story the moment the frenzy started and, decided to test the market’s reaction to the new workout video so we launch a BEDLOO challenge, putting Yendi’s "IN THE DANCE FITNESS JAMAICA"  up against former Miss USA Kenya Moore’s “STALLION BOOTY” workout video; to know surprise Yendi’s fans took to bedloo, and made their presences known, giving Yendi more than 95% of the vote and counting (roadshowja.bedloo.com).

Yendi Philipps is no stranger to the International scene as she wears many hats or should I say crowns such as; Miss Jamaica World 2007, Miss Jamaica Universe 2010, an Digicel ambassador, Host on Smile Jamaica morning show on TvJ, and the list goes on. This week Yendi headed to Toronto Canada to promote the workout DVD. 

bedloo.com

Making her first appearance on the morning show Global News where she sat with Rosey Edeh to talk about the buzz surrounding her workout video, then off she went to a radio appearance on one of Tornanto’s hottest stations G98.7FM, and others; she then gave Tornato fans a special treat by hosting workout classes that were full to capacity; follow by meet and greets, and still took time out to give her fans an intimate view of the weekend blitz though Tornanto via on twitter, facebook and Instagram. I am starting to think our Yendi is the bionic woman revisited.

In January Yendi;s team announced that "IN THE DANCE FITNESS JAMAICA" was available at Wal-Marts in Canada; which lead to Toronto fans running out in number to purchase her DVD; that resulted in sell out for t most locations. Road Show Ja would like to congratulate Yendi Phillipps; who by far is no stranger to success on a great weekend, and giving further proof that  #JAMAICANGIRLSROCK. Now go out and support "IN THE DANCE FITNESS JAMAICA" and show Yendi some love, and remember #igotmyeyeonyou.
