It's a new year but the same old Flippa. After experiencing a rough year, some of which was spent behind bars, the deejay is back to doing music and his usual flossing. Flippa, who's real name is Andrew Davis, was arrested in March 2010 after he was allegedly caught trying to enter the United States illegally from The Bahamas via a boat. He was released from the Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility, Philadelphia, in September and since then little has been heard [...]
A revolt is fomenting in the Jamaican blogging (under)world, and I can't help but question whether it's a case of sore losers or legitimate grouses.

Someone had conceptualised, and put into motion, an awards show for Jamaican bloggers, [...]

I am praying that Buju's darkest days are behind him and that his "dawn" will be brighter than every dark moment he's ever experienced. If I had to use one word to describe the show it [...]
Want to build positive relationships? Then make sure not to commit the following 10 things that disrupt relationships: 1. Giving hurtful comments. Are you hurting others by your lack of tact? You might think that you're being helpful, but your intentions might have hurt the other party instead. Put yourself in others' shoes first. If it's not a comment you appreciate hearing yourself, then perhaps it's not something others will appreciate either. 2. Giving solutions when the person is really [...]
