Miss Georgia Caribbean 2004, Junia Joseph

Proud. Ambitious. Dedicated. Those are just three of the many words used to describe the first ever Miss Georgia Caribbean Queen. Born and raised in Fort Lauderdale, Florida to Haitian parents, Junia Joseph has always proudly identified with her Haitian lineage. As the fifth of six children, her parents have raised her to stand tall in the face of those making insulting and disparaging comments toward her culture and people. The same fire and passion Junia displays in representing her Haitian roots carries on to her representation all of the Caribbean nations as she proudly serves as Miss Georgia Caribbean 2004. The winning of this prestigious...

Upcoming dancehall artist, GABRIEL

Gabriel, a young and promising artist surfaced the dancehall scene in 1999. Equipped with a powerful voice, he has put out several good hits and delivered excellent stage performances. His well known recording 'Long, Plain and Straight', although controversial did very well in Kingston's dancehall. “ It was looked at as a song that disrespected the government of the day” said Gabriel and it therefore did not get airplay. He believes that his lyrical delivery is by no means meant to offend the public, as it is an artistic expression of life experiences. In the Bible, Gabriel was a prophet and I see myself as doing the same by talking about things that are going on now," he said. (Jamaica Gleaner June 4, 2002) Gabriel was born in the Stand Pipe area of Kingston 6, Jamaica as Levardes Fisher...

New Release: Highlanda Summer 2003 Volume 1

Highlanda, Atlanta's top rated sound system has released its latest CD Summer 2003 Volume 1. I hopped in the car for a review session and I must say it is rated HOT and definately warrants two thumbs up. In particular, the selections are hott! What I love about the CD is that the rhythms are nicely mixed together with pulsating sounds of reggae and soca, providing a sexy summer feel. Summer 2003 Volume 1 features two of Atlanta's hottest artists, Shooks & Ras Val, also Headly Shines formerly of Born Jamericans, and artist Tings Change's (T.C.) explosive tune 'Highlanda Property,' is wicked, and earns massive forwards. Also in the mix are some of the ladies of dancehall, Chrissy D, Tanya Stephens, & Lady Saw. A delight to commuters, trust me, it gives you just the picker-upper you need...
