BET Reverses Decision: Mavado’s Video To Be Aired Next Week
Late last month, “legal issues” reportedly prevented the airing of dancehall artiste Mavado’s new video for his “So Special” single on BET’s 106 & Park show. However, Mavado’s management has just informed Dancehall.Mobi that after much back and forth and some re-editing of the video, BET’s top brass have reversed their decision and will now allow it to be aired as 106 & Park’s “New Joint of the Week” - this coming Tuesday, March 3rd.
“In some ways the timing worked out even better!” said Mavado’s manager, Julian Jones-Griffith. “Mavado’s album ‘Mr. Brooks - A Better Tomorrow‘ is to be released on March 3rd, the same day the video will air, so hopefully it will give it that extra push.” Note - the album was released exclusively in digital format via iTunes earlier this week.

FINAL SHOTS - Last words thrown before Follow The Arrow
The musical 'war' is on tomorrow at Follow Di Arrow and some of the deejays are in a 'killing' mood, as the battlefield is set at James Bond Beach, St Mary, for the 10th anniversary of the event.
The clashes that should have happened two months ago at Sting will hopefully be settled at Follow Di Arrow where Kiprich is scheduled to clash with musical nemesis the Monster Empire and Merciless will test his clashing skills against Ninja Man once again.
Left high and dry
Last December a prepared Kiprich and Merciless were left high and dry onstage after blazing performances and no-shows from the Monster Empire and Ninja Man, respectively.
Now the deejays are all prepared, ready and raring to go for the much-anticipated clash. For Merciless, he claims to have been much grieved and hurt by Ninja Man's non-appearance at Sting, and is happy for the chance to 'kill' Ninja. He says, "a long time dat boy deh fi dead and mi nuh know who come dig him up from him grave. Right now, mi happy seh is him doorstep we going, Ennis never do a better thing. St Mary Ninja born and grow and right now is his territory mi a go kill him on."
Merciless says fans can expect an outstanding performance from him; like Sting, he will again be coming prepared with a new outfit and new lyrics - no repeats from Sting, "mi neva lose a war mi a warhead."
No talking mood
While when THE WEEKEND STAR spoke to Ninja Man, he was in his usual clash mood saying, "Mi nuh inna no talking mood, I'm in a killing mood. Yuh nuh hear seh Lisa Hype kill Merciless on Wednesday in Clarendon? Afta Lisa Hype kill him, him caan chat to me Saturday. I not gonna clash Merciless, mi a go kill him, when mi done wid him, Merciless nuh have no career, there will be no more Merciless."
Confident KipRich
Kiprich
Likewise a confident Kiprich, who came out of Sting with a huge hype from his energetic performance and sharp lyrics, says he is more than prepared for the clash. He told THE WEEKEND STAR , "is a clash and yuh know yuh haffi prepare, mi ready fi do wha mi haffi do. Mi have whole heap of new things and some older stuff, it's just a matter of where whatever fit." At Sting, KipRich came out ready in full black for war and the artiste already has his new outfit for Follow Di Arrow.
General B from the Monster Empire says that the Empire is ready and waiting for anything.
"We prepared for anything and fans can expect di best." This, however, according to General B, will be the last of any lyrical confrontations between the Monster Empire and Kiprich, whoever wins. "A di last of it dis, we nuh inna nutten wid Kiprich, is only caw di fans dem want it, him a try get a hype off Monster Empire. Whether we win or lose, di war done, caw dis nah benefit me," he said.
Sunday morning will tell who will be victorious when these artistes go head to head at Magnum Follow The Arrow at James Bond Beach in St Mary.

Studio Engineer Attacks Luciano
Studio engineer “Freckles” reportedly attacked and beat veteran reggae chanter Luciano while he was at a gas station on Dunrobin Avenue in Kingston last week Friday (February 20). The incident reportedly stemmed from a previous incident last year where Freckles was assaulted at Luciano’s office by persons associated with the artiste. Freckles it is said, assisted some Australian promoters to book Luciano for a tour, and asked to come on the tour as well, but was not pleased with the financial compensation that he received. It was in August 2008 that he went to Luciano’s office to sort out this matter when he was “roughed up”, and reportedly chopped by on the hand by someone associated with Luciano.
With last week’s incident, Freckles reportedly attacked Luciano with an iron pipe, hitting him on the head and causing a wound that required six stitches. Luciano has apparently taken the high road on the matter, and has reported the matter to the Half-Way-Tree police and plans to take Freckles to court.

Sasa Step Dance Trouble Brewing
This is a Dancehall.Mobi special update. There’s a new dance gaining popularity in the dances here in Jamaica. It’s called the Sasa Step, and was created by Mundo Ravers of the Ravers Clavers dance crew. It is no secret to the dancehall world that leading dancehall deejay Elephant Man has made a name for himself over the past few years by doing songs that speak to the current dancehall dance trends. His songs ‘Pon Di River’, ‘The Sweep’, ‘Nuh Linga’ and ‘Gully Creeper’ are just a few examples.
Trouble seems to be brewing however with regard to the brand new Sasa Step dance. Recently, Elephant Man released a song about the dance (which we’ve featured below) on the Mercury Overdose riddim, and the original creators of the dance are reportedly none too happy about this development, as they had already released a single to go along with the new dance they had created. Fellow Ravers Clavers dance crew member Overmars and QSean did this original Ravers Clavers Sasa Step song which is also featured in the play list below.
Dancehall.Mobi will keep you updated on this one. What’s your take on it? Please post comments below.
