CONTROVERSIAL ARTIST JESSE JENDAH, RELEASES HIS LATEST SINGLE “KWEEN (QUEEN) OF THE MORNING STAR!”
Jesse Jendah— Jesse Jendah has developed a reputation as one of the most controversial artists in contemporary reggae. His unapologetic stance on social issues has ruffled many feathers; in 1999, he even offered Prime Minister PJ Patterson two pounds of ganja during a meeting at Jamaica House. Now living in the United States and managed by Mightyful13 Records, Jendah (aka King Furnace) tones it down on his latest song, Kween Of The Morning Star. The lovers rock number is produced by California-based Infinity Records and distributed by VPAL Records. The fiery singjay said songs such as Kween Of The Morning Star are appropriate at this time “because the empresses and ‘kweens’ have been stereotyped as gal, bitch and the most derogatory names. We want to address the real-life issues that put an equilibrium in … Read entire article »

PUBLICISTS – WHAT DO THEY REALLY BRING TO THE TABLE?
By Cecelia Campbell-Livingston— From left: Former Prime Minister P.J. Patterson at WABC TV in New York with Tracey Washington Bagley of ‘Here & Now’ and Dave Rodney of IMAGES LLC.—- In the music industry, some artists, for one reason or another, have chosen to bypass the services of an experienced publicist and instead put together a management/publicity team of friends and relatives, not realising loyalty without knowledge may not be the best decision for their careers. The Gleaner had a chat with experienced media marketer/publicist Dave Rodney on the importance of a publicist in launching and sustaining an artist’s career. Rodney, who is the vice-president of New York-based IMAGES LLC, has an intimate knowledge of the social and economic fabric of the media landscape at home and in the diaspora.

P.J. Patterson – File Nationwide News Network (NNN) and its Chief Executive Officer Cliff Hughes have been ordered to pay former Prime Minister P.J.

JAMAICA’S MORAL DECAY CONTINUES – A ST. THOMAS FUNERAL HOME OFFERS MUSIC AND GAME PACKAGES GRAVESITE PARTIES!
The moral decay worsens: St Thomas funeral practice of grave concern— IN May this year when former Prime Minister PJ Patterson reiterated the need for a national strategy and programme of action to address declining moral standards across the country, he was yet again criticised by his detractors. Among the loudest critics were some who were probably too young to know that he made an attempt at having the country deal with this issue 20 years ago. Those people we can forgive. However, there were others who, while armed with the truth of that 1994 effort by Prime Minister Patterson, thought it politically expedient to chastise him anyway. That latter group, we believe, have done younger Jamaicans a great disservice, for they have a responsibility to use history to frame their comments. We are not … Read entire article »
