Fast-rising Hawaii-based recording artiste J Boog was recently in Jamaica working on a sizzling hot reggae collaboration alongside roots singer, Richie Spice at Big Yard Studio in Kingston.
With the guidance of Morgan Heritage member Gramps and veteran singer/songwriter Yami Bolo, both Boog and Spice joined forces musically to create the still untitled single which according to Boog was inspired after he visited a certain garrison community. During my stay I got a chance to go out by Trench Town, there I saw the struggle of the people and that moti-vated me to do a song. "Our music in Hawaii is pretty similar to reggae music, in fact we call it island music or island reggae, so since I began singing I've always dreamed of coming to Jamaica to experience the local culture." Looking to make his mark in the international mainstream, J Boog is confident the world will soon hear his calling. "I am a high-energy artiste, I make good music and put my blood, sweat and tears into every record. Island artistes haven't been getting the recognition we deserve but we not going to stop pushing." Backed by Washhouse Music Inc the label responsible for his success to date, J Boog is looking to dominate in 2010. THE WEEKEND STAR.

 

 

 
Portmore Empire head Vybz Kartel has described his former protégé, Blak Ryno, as a confused individual after his recent departure from the crew. Speaking to THE WEEKEND STAR yesterday, Kartel discussed his reaction to Ryno's abrupt departure from the Portmore Empire on Wednesday, of which he has been a member since January 2007.
Kartel said: "Ryno is, in my analysis, a confused individual going through some sort of post-adolescence trauma, where in his pursuit to find himself is getting his priorities mixed up and as a result, is making decisions in a subconscious, bewildered state of mind." The deejay further said that: "Portmore Empire and Gaza will continue to grow from strength to strength merely because I am Gaza." According to Kartel, persons can look out for his newest member Gaza Slim and his protégé Popcaan.
The Portmore Empire started in 2007 after Kartel's departure from the Alliance in 2006. The Empire have consisted of members such as Popcaan, Singa Blinga, Dosa Medicine, Lisa Hype, Shawn Storm, Gaza Indu, Sheba, Jah Vinci among others. Blak Ryno was an original member of the Portmore Empire and was seemingly one of the closest to Kartel, often citing him as a major influence and called him 'daddy' on numerous occasions. Ryno is the third deejay to have departed the Empire recently, the first being Lisa Hype, now called Lisa Hyper. Hyper was dismissed from the Empire late last year shortly after a compromising picture of the deejay began circulating on the Internet. In January newcomer to the Empire, Gaza Kim - now known as Kym, willingly left the Empire after an incident which took place in the 'Big Yard' community off Mannings Hill Road. Kym was severely beaten on what sources say were orders by Kartel. Kartel later denied any involvement.
