Denzie Frass Entertainment promoter Denzie Frass is aiming to push Jamaican music into the international market through building relationships with overseas-based media outlets. According to the promoter, who recently launched his entertainment promotional company, Ultra Modern Digital Media, lack of proper promotion has been the major factor hampering the growth of Jamaican music. Denzie says any success in the music industry is based on 90 per cent promotion and 10 per cent talent. Therefore, he said artistes should not be opposed to investing in efficient promotional companies. "I am cultivating a long-term network that creates global awareness and opportunities for the reggae and dancehall culture, collecting and reclaiming brand Jamaica, and presenting it to the wider world through my creative media ideas. Hence, I started a reggae and dancehall magazine that I initiated with the first edition in 2014. Real BadGal Riddim "It still hasn't expanded to the wo

According to The New York Times MICHAEL D. SHEAR and MATT APUZZOMAY 9, 2017 President Trump on Tuesday fired the director of the F.B.I., James B. Comey, abruptly terminating the top official leading a criminal investigation into whether Mr. Trump’s advisers colluded with the Russian government to steer the outcome of the 2016 presidential election. The stunning development in Mr. Trump’s presidency raised the specter of political interference by a sitting president into an existing investigation by the nation’s leading law enforcement agency. It immediately ignited Democratic calls for a special counsel to lead the Russia inquiry. Mr. Trump explained the firing by citing Mr. Comey’s handling of the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server, even though the president was widely seen to have benefited politically from that inquiry and had once praised Mr. Comey for his “guts” in his pursuit of Mrs. Clinton during the campaign. But in his letter to Mr. Come

Renowned psychologist Dr Leahcim Semaj says the reason so many slim-quick products are doing well on the local market is because Jamaicans still believe in the fallible notion of ‘something for nothing’. Semaj's comments come at a time when slim-quick product ‘Aloe Ginger Essence slimming cream’ is selling like hot bread in downtown Kingston . “A lot of people would like to lose weight but they don’t want to do the work,” Semaj said. “It’s this notion of getting something for nothing and there is no such thing in the universe.” He continued: “Look back at Cash Plus (the alleged Ponzi scheme operated by Carlos Hill which crashed in 2008). Somebody comes and offers you something for nothing even though it violated the laws of economics. The laws of economics say that the greater the risk, the greater the reward, and this person is telling you that this has no risk and it will double your money, and you don’t question it.” One of the vendors of the slim-quick product, Nevil

The former Portmore Empire artiste was recruited to make an appearance in the season two of the series that has grabbed the attention of many persons across the Jamaican diaspora, the producer told THE STAR.

Rita Marley DJ Vlad, a popular deejay in the United States, says Bob Marley's widow, Rita Marley, deserves credit for staying with the reggae legend despite his infidelity. “It is about the bigger picture. Bob Marley’s wife stayed with him the whole time. Bob Marley was still married when he died and how many kids did he have outside of that relationship? But she saw the bigger picture outside of that relationship," DJ Vlad said. Marley fathered at least 11 children, three with his wife, Rita. DJ Vlad was speaking with rapper Boosie about the importance of the nuclear family in the music industry. The interview was aired recently on VlADTV.com.

He also gave credit to Rita for her strength and even said he respects women who forgive their spouse for cheating. “You know how many people see the bigger picture? Bob Marley’s wife is a solider. You know how many people not seeing the bigger picture? ... I respect the
