News: Munga Answers “Bounty Diss Tweets”
In his song, Munga issues a challenge to the Alliance, Gaza and JOP that he is willing and ready to contest them in a lyrical showdown.
In his usual militant mood, Bounty Killer tweeted:
“Munga u are no more honorable! Ur ending is inevitable! From u dissed Alliance, u dissed me as well so anything a anything. U who ran from Debra Sprat 08 and flopped ur career …”
Hours after, Munga took to Twitter and stated: “Bounty Killer u nor nuh man cyaan tek MUNGA HONORABLE HONOR. Hotfoot”
When contacted, a source close to Munga told THE STAR that the song was not aimed at Bounty Killer.
“Munga never dis Bounty Killer, Killer just take up sumting whe nuh really concern him. A Munga a pay him own rent and light bill, so we nuh run dem disrespect joke deh,” the source said.
He continued that Munga respects Bounty Killer but pointed out that Bounty Killer’s tweets were uncalled for.
“As far as me know, Munga has a lot of respect for Killa, but Munga is not a person whe nobody can disrespect. From a man tweet him, him a go answer! Him a di Gangsta Ras.”
Teetimus Da Producer A.k.a. Rockstar Makes Vybz Kartel Pop In A “U.F.O. MEDZ!”
Established in his own right, Teetimus da producer is well known amongst music circles for his cutting edge sound and avante garde ear for matching artists with multi-genre sounds. Teetimus’s newest project is no exception to this standard as he’s the first producer to make Vybz Kartel ‘pop!’
Merging Pop with Techno and a splash of electronic, Teetimus (as the producer) lays the musical groundwork for Vybz Kartel to deliver one of his most well received cross-over performances in the song called “U.F.O. MEDZ” which features the Dancehall King and Teetimus the Rockstar.
Recently released to the worlds’ most prominent DJ’s, initial feedback to the song exceeded the teams expectations. “We knew the DJ’s were going to like the track” said Teetimus from his recording studio in New York, “but we didn’t expect it to be so well received by the Pop and Techno audience. Vybz Kartel did a great job with the track – he really is dih teacha!”
For Vybz Kartel, shying away from a track so forward thinking for the Pop genre was not an option. The artist recorded his vocals in Jamaica prior to incarceration and expressed that the Pop / Electronica sound will allow him to gain fans of a wider background. “Teetimus approached me with this track and the result is great. I stayed true to Dancehall while working with a new genre. Fans are going to appreciate it.”
Already available on i Tunes, the track has gained a lot of traction with sites such as Chromaticmag.com, Spotlightnow.com and Yardhype.com. The preview, available on YouTube, is one of the most searched, marking another sign that the single is on deck to being a hit.
No stranger to success, Teetimus the Rockstar earned several accolades as the co-producer of Damian ‘Jr. Gong’ Marley’s 2012 hit song “Affairs of the Heart,” Trey Songz “Ladies Gone Wild” and Mr. Vegas “Bruk It Dung,” and is in negotiations to produce a track for a very prominent and Grammy award winning female rapper.

Shaggy And Friends Put Off: Charity Show Gets Revamp

The second installment of Shaggy and Friends took place on January 2011, where Bounty Killer, Cham, Machel Montano, Tarrus Riley and Boyz II Men all performed. That year, the event reeled in over JA$30 million.
The third edition of Shaggy and Friends took place on January 7 of this year after being moved back a week due to Jamaica’s general elections. The event featured Romain Virgo, Maxi Priest, Tami Chynn and American rap sensation, Eve who was accompanied by award-winning dancer,Mystic Davis during her set.
Despite continuous on-stage demands by hip-hop/soul legend, Lauryn Hill during her set, this year’s edition of Shaggy and Friends reeled in JA$32 million. Some of the money raised through Shaggy’s event has been donated towards new equipment as well as the building of a cardiac ward for the Bustamante Hospital for Children.
