We are surely getting recognize worldwide. Our music is strong and so is the vybz. Just want to big up every artist out there who is contributing to the dancehall movement. Dancehall is a movement and it's continuing to get even stronger. Just keep the music feeling nice and do great with the opporuntities that you are given. Last and not least never lose site of where you come from, and use the music as a tool to spread positive message. Always give back to your communities.

Great to know that Caribbean music continues to dominate the Billboard charts.

As a radio jock on an all Caribbean station in Barbados news like that from Yardflex.com really helps me keep listeners abreast of the progress of reggae/dancehall music and it's impact on the globe. Big up to the crew.

News you can use

Saturday night Nov 4th, thousands flocked to the national stadium in Barbados for a concert featuring Cocoa Tea, Cham and Damian Marley.
Firehouse Crew was the back up band. That band is tight !!

It was cool meeting Francois St.Juste from FAME FM in Jamaica who was the concert's MC and to take in the vibes from the headline acts.
Big up to Cricketers Floyd Reiffer and Courtney Walsh and all the participating sponsors for making the Sunset Jams concert possible.
