KRIS KELLI

Entering the music business and filming a music video for her first single “Hide Away” and going on an eleven-city tour of the U.S.A as well as performing in Canada and a number of major stage shows and charity events locally through-out that year was enough to convince her that she had made the right decision to pursue a career in music.

This album boasted 15 tracks including two collaborations, one each with Beenie Man and Vybz Kartel; it represented various genres of Reggae music and captured the essence, journey and versatility of the artiste. “MY WORLD” was released in Japan by Pony Canyon Int., on September 20th, 2006.

The next 12 months had several visits to Japan doing the ‘My World’ album promotional tours, radio interviews, performances and photo shoots for magazines in the cities of Tokyo, Osaka and Okinawa while filming three (3) music videos in Jamaica. Two videos were shot in the first quarter of 2007 for “STEP UP” which is the lead single on the album and “We’re Missing You” (The Tribute) which was recorded after the album was released, the third and final video “Secret Admirer” was shot in the last quarter of 2007.

Her video “We’re missing you” was on the MTV’s Tempo Cross Caribbean Countdown Top 10 Video chart for 13 weeks and peaked at the # 2 position for 5 weeks, it was also nominated by The Reggae Academy Awards with 3 other videos for the Best Video for 2007 in the Reggae category.

2009 was a year of Performances, recording more Singles, breaking into new areas (video and record production), filming two music videos and working with Producers that she has not worked with before. Two photo shoots were done during the course of the year, the first one was for new photos to update her ‘MySpace’, Website and EPK (electronic press kit), and the second was for the Cover of the BUZZ Magazine ‘SUMMER SWIM SUIT’ issue.

Kris Kelli’s new video for the Hit Single ‘Kotch Aroun’ was conceptualized and Directed by her, it was shot in five (5) locations in and around Kingston, Jamaica.

“I think what it is when people see me smiling and kind of nonchalantly getting answers or, or saying things. It’s — I’m human, really, I’m like really hurting inside,” he said. “And it really kind of like is devastating to me.”

Brown also reacted to Rihanna’s comments from her exclusive interview with ABC New’s Diane Sawyer, when the pop star broke her silence about the night Brown beat her.

“He had no — no soul in his eyes. Just blank. So, at that point, I just didn’t know what could happen. … There was no person when I looked at him. … It wasn’t the same person that says, ‘I love you,’” she said in the “20/20″ interview.

“I was wrong for what I did,” Brown told Roberts. “And I would definitely say that it’s not something that I look past or look over. Something that’s really, really touchy. And, and like I said, I’m — I’m really sorry for — for what went down. And what happened.”

G Whizz Management felt cheated by Supreme Ventures - Super Lotto

By J Tymz
OutAroad.com Writer

Early this morning OutAroad.com received a statement via email from G Whizz’s manager Mossimo who seems to be upset with Supreme Ventures for not living up to their verbal agreement. OutAroad.com gets to understand that Supreme Ventures went ahead and flip the script from My Life Soon Sort Out to My Life Soon Set.

Below is the statement from Mossimo G Whizz’s Manager

Around November 5, 2009 we received a phone call from an Agent of Supreme Ventures stating that they are interesting in using a portion of “My Life Soon Sort Out” a song that was written by G Whizz and produced by TJ records for their advertising campaign that started on November 9, 2009. According to the contract, the advertising campaign is for a period of one year and the amount the agent wants to pay G Whizz was $350,000.00 Jamaican dollars to amend the song to fit Supreme Ventures purpose for all advertising medium and to represent the company.

We believed that Supreme Ventures and Super Lotto is operating in seven (7) English Caribbean speaking Countries and when we look at the original contract sent to us, there wouldn’t be any boundaries that the song would have had. However, I continued to negotiate on the artiste’s behalf made an offer with the Agent for $600,000.00 and with a separate agreement for performance, etc. To our surprise, Supreme Ventures with its Super Lotto game started the advertising campaign with a similar phase called “my life soon set”.

The song “my life soon sort out” is a very popular song in Jamaica and now across the Caribbean and the world, when people hear “my life soon set”, they would know that it is a mimic of “My life soon sort out” by G Whizz.

G Whizz is disappointed in the manner in which they go about business as he was looking forward in working with Supreme Ventures through its Agent. In fact, G Whizz and his management team believed that the way in which Supreme Ventures and its Agent concluded his negotiation was a mere replica of the method in which colonial masters used to exploit the poor. “G Whizz has being working so hard over the years to help his family and I will not allow anyone to exploit his creativity for nothing, G Whizz would rather to collect the money and then give it to charity. It is not all about the money but for god sake, he needs to eat too. “G Whizz is ready to work with corporate Jamaica at any time.

Supreme Ventures should pull the mimic ad for the super lotto that they are now running and come back to the table for the real song, “my life soon sort out”

“Mi nuh response fi Alliance or Gully Side” - Beenie Man

By Secret Agent
OutAroad.com writer

“Mi nuh inna nuh argument wid nuh sUck fassy General or f**k B*tty government,” are a few lines from Beenie Man’s long awaiting diss single that signaled blows at Bounty Killer and Mavado.

Does this means Beenie Man and Bounty Killer will be facing off on stage once more?

Everything yuh talk bout man is just the same thing,
How mi a fish and how kartel bleaching,
Talk bout some a dat fassy dat yuh eating,
Wid knife & fork and a yuh got milk,
Be careful what yuh drinking.

Beenie Man then went on to re-arrange Killer’s name from Bounty Killer to Horse Face and Mavado’s to Gully Monkey.

Beenie Man and Bounty Killer might not get to face off at this year’s Sting as it is still unsure if Beenie Man will be at Sting.

Flippa Mafia gives back to Trench Town High

It’s the Christmas season, and while some may refer to it as the ’silly season’, it is also the time to spread joy and goodwill and that’s exactly what the Flossing King, Flippa Mafia plans to do.

Flippa, who says he is really a philanthropist at heart, will be channeling his energy into a school fete for the Trench Town High School.

“As entertainers it is our duty to give back … and if you really check it a lot of us donate to worthy causes. The public may not hear about it, but that’s because we don’t like to pose up for picture and send it to newspaper every time we do what we are supposed to do by helping the less fortunate,” Flippa said.

Flippa was full of praise for the artistes who participate in the various high school tours, which see artistes in performance at various schools across the island and emphasising positive messages.

“We have to get the youths to understand the importance of an education and staying in school. We need the school-girls to erase the idea of teenage pregnancy and replace it with total focus on their school work. Education must always come first,” he declared passionately.

The fete takes place on December 12 and all proceeds will go towards the Trench Town High School.

The show dubbed ‘Chuck Fenda In Concert’ will take place on Saturday, December 5th at the prestigious Coast Night Club on the island known for its 365 beaches. The event is hosted by Black Spider Promotions.
