November 5th, 2008

Dancehall man-of-the-moment, Mavado, has placed his stamp of approval on a new clothing line that has been dubbed “Gully Side Wear” - themed in support of the “Gully Side” that Mavado has deejayed and sung about since he burst on the scene in 2005.

A designer, Franklin Garnett, and Mavado’s sister Joey Brooks are the persons behind the Mavado clothing line which will be launched in December at Mavado’s birthday bash. It will feature t-shirts, baby Ts, cotton shorts, caps and bags of various designs. (via Dancehall.Mobi)

Curious how this will look like. Hopefully it won´t be the Ed Hardy-style tight-top-collection I kind of expect it to be.

I had posted the videos to Terry Lynn´s first two singles and I pointed you to Wildlife!´s Cristle Castles remix of “Knight Crusade”, but somehow I totally forgot to check out her album. On Friday, I finally did and what can I say - it´s epic. Not only does Terry spit and tell stories like “M.I.A. in real” (Markus Staiger on rap.de), she can also sing like your favourite gospel queen. As it´s Sunday, I decided to share the final track of “Kingstonlogic 2.0” - which is Terry´s version of “Rivers of Babylon” - originally recorded by Brent Dowe and Trevor McNaughton from The Melodians and covered e.g. by The Skatalites and Sublime amongst a bus-full of others.
