Beenie Man Biography Set For July Release
from BadGalsRadio - RootsRock since 99' June 11, 2008
Beenie Man Biography Set For July Release | The News is NowPublic.com Beenie Man Biography Set For July Release by reggaewire | June 10, 2008 at 09:17 pm The sensational new book on the life of dancehall king Beenie Man has finally been scheduled for worldwide release this summer. The forthcoming biography, Who Am I? The Untold Story of Beenie Man, will treat fans of dancehall music to more than four hundred pages of intrigue, eye-opening revelations and never-before-seen colour photographs depicting the young superstar s life. Who Am I? The Untold Story of Beenie Man is the world s first-ever dancehall biography, and is being published by Jamaican publishers Great House OmniMedia in time for Reggae Sumfest. Written by noted Jamaican journalist Milton Wray, the story tracks the twists and turns of Beenie Man s dramatic life, following in great detail the reggae superstar s rise from childhood to the Grammy Award, numerous other honours and musical firsts, including an unequalled string of chart-topping hits. The author worked on the project for more than eleven years, documenting Beenie Man s tabloid-rich life and career as they unfolded. After first contacting the artiste in 1994, Wray eventually took a sabbatical from Jamaican journalism to live and do research in New York City for more than a year. While in the United States, he conducted interviews and collected vast amounts of information on Beenie Man and his international impact on the music business. While writing the book in Jamaica, Wray did in-depth research by interviewing a host of persons including relatives, friends, associates, music business personnel, rivals and, of course, the girlfriends of the reggae/dancehall icon. Readers who might be concerned about not getting the full story of Beenie Man have no reason to worry, says the author, who promises an unvarnished view of The Doctor. Who Am I? is a journalistic work, Wray insists, and the primary objective is to be accurate. While Beenie Man did cooperate by supplying information and photographs for the publication of the book, he did not have approval of the manuscript, and never saw a page of it before it was completed. The intention was not to put out a public relations piece for the artiste. The facts are presented as they occurred, whether or not Beenie Man likes those facts. He has led a very controversial life, and he acknowledges that; he recently told me as much. I believe he is prepared for whatever revelations may come from this book. It s going to be very exciting once it hits the streets, Wray continued, commenting on the completion of the work. Who Am I? is something that readers will not be able to put down, because Beenie Man has had such an amazing life from his childhood in Waterhouse to the present day that it s going to be mind-blowing. The book is as engrossing as any novel only everything in it is factual. Set to be launched in Kingston in early July, the book will be distributed in North America, the European Union, the CARICOM region and Japan before the end of the year. For its Asian release, Who Am I? will be translated into Japanese. According to Great House s Michael Grant, who began conducting preliminary promotions and answering reader s queries at the recent Calabash Literary Festival, Interest in the Beenie Man Biography is already high for something that has not yet been advertised or offered for sale. Readers are going to be surprised by the touching humanity and detail of this true story about Beenie Man, both as a person and as an international phenomenon. In many ways, it s also a mini-history of dancehall, giving insight into the inner workings of the local music industry in much the same way the Jamaican hit movie, The Harder They Come, did in the 1970s. Commenting on the secrecy behind the production of the highly anticipated work, Grant said Because some of the details in the book have never been publicly revealed previously, it was important for the author to be able to work without giving advance interviews. After all, some of the events in the story were unfolding as he worked, and he managed to get the story behind many of the stories we often read in the press, especially about his private life. As one can imagine, the controversies surrounding Beenie Man have made almost every page of Who Am I? top-secret. His fans can t wait to get their hands on this very well-researched and well-written account the first of several volumes, probably of a spectacular life and career still in progress. Reviewer s copies of the book have been sent to a select number of entertainment press in markets where the book will be available. Local distribution will be handled mainly by Novelty Trading Company, while the bulk of North American and European markets will be serviced by A Copyright 2008 BadGalsRadio - RootsRock since 99'.

Tanya Stephens - ? Rebelution, In Two Parts ?
from BadGalsRadio - Fo Real Doh !! September 19, 2006
This Week We Highlight "Tanya Stephens - Rebelution" Two Parts, a first for us; so you know it's PHAT ! we've put it into regular rotation on BADGALSRADIO starting tonite; You must tune in and hear it played in one big tasty serving all this week, on BADGALSRADIO. We Love Tanya, so You should check her out. She's genuine, talented and has all the strength we love to see in a seasoned producer/performer. Recently interviewed on Mutabaruka's Award Winning Radio Show in Jamdown, Sista Tanya remarked "I do All My whining behind closed doors" in reference to Lady Saw," Our Biggest Respects - Now LEAD OUT Mi Gal .. Tanya Stephens - Rebelution Part 1. Tanya Stephens - Rebelution Part 2. Tanya's Myspace Page and Bio The quintessential Jamaican singer / songwriter, Tanya Stephens is equally adept at blazing the latest dancehall riddims as she is at blessing an acoustic guitar-driven ballad with lyrics that are insightful, relevant, comical, and often scathing...life and love; observed with the honest eyes of a child, yet processed and returned to her audience with uncommon maturity and melody. "On Rebelution, Tanya Stephens once again displays her wit and musical sensibilities" Tanya has scored international hits in the past with the classics Goggle and You Nuh Ready Yet,. songs still guaranteed to move the crowd in any setting. Her last album Gangsta Blues yielded the one-drop anthem Its A Pity, on the Doctors Darling riddim. The song was clearly one of the biggest tunes of 2004, and arguably Tanyas career; and introduced the rest of the world to Tanya Stephens. the single found its way onto commercial radio and eventually video outlets like MTV Jams. The success of that single, followed by the critical acclaim from numerous media outlets (including the NY Times, Village Voice, Source, and Vibe Magazine) helped propel Tanya to the forefront of Jamaican music, and is the reason that nearly 2 years after its release, Gangsta Blues remains on the Billboard Reggae chart. The obvious difference between Tanya and any other artiste coming out of Jamaica is her extremely varied fan base. Stephens following represents age 8 to 80 and encompasses people from beyond every boundary. When asked what she considers to be her most valuable assets, Tanya replied : "Transparency and Consistency. I believe if people want to gamble they will go to a casino. There shouldnt be any risk involved in walking into a record shop and using your hard earned cash to buy an album. Thats why I had to make sure I kept honing my craft until I could confidently invite you to pick up any Tanya Stephens album entirely off of trust, secure in the knowledge I will never violate it" On the 1st single These Streets, an airy acoustic guitar track, Tanya pleads with her thug-love to realize that these streets dont love you like I do. On this, her 6th LP, Tanya is poised to reach even greater international acclaim and finally be recognized by the masses as one of the greatest talents to emerge from Jamaica. Rebelution features the musings of a songbird who is vulnerable enough to feel the pain, but tough enough to live through it. With a militant swagger, Rebelution is an edgy narrative of a street smart guerilla poet who continues to break the stereotype of what a female Jamaican artist should sound like. Smart and sexy, jagged and cunning, the lyrics flow out of the speakers and attack the unfortunate victims of her sharp tongue. This is not a passive listeners record, nor is it a record for the weak hearted. It screams and bites in the gentlest way possible, with back handed compliments and sometimes less-than-reaffirming opinions. Armed with a fervent voice and classy demeanor Tanya tells her truth the way she sees it, uncompromising and uncensored. The evolution from the love scorned Gangsta Blues is apparent, but does not stray from the autobiographical, if anything Rebelution is the next chapter in her story. Already a cult
