In early January, the DNR had launched a winter offensive on Ukrainian positions, seizing the Donetsk airport and attacking Ukrainian checkpoints across the line of control separating the two sides. Once the airport had fallen, the DNR focused its attention on Debaltseve, surrounding the town on three sides and pounding it with artillery for four straight weeks. The attack killed dozens and forced thousands of residents to flee.

Curly Lox of TWINS of TWINS Says This One is Definitely NO LAUGHING MATTER – You May Even Cry
“This is no joke.” That is Curly Lox’s declaration when asked about his autobiography, The Road to Zion, published by Ghetto People Publishing in Kingston. The memoir is unlike anything else coming out of the dancehall space and the artiste is very careful to warn readers that this is another side to him.
“The people know my face but not my story and they’re about to find out.”
Eight years in the making, the story is a gripping tell-all where Curly Lox shares with readers the painful road to redemption and acceptance that follows on the heels of an immense tragedy—the death of his 6 year old son, Zion, after whom the project is named.
The book is not just an autobiography as Curly Lox takes on several important social issues while giving the reader a glimpse into his past. Among the issues he tackles are:
• Jamaica’s failed education system.
• Class prejudice and its impact on the poor in Jamaica.
• The hidden backstabbing politics of dancehall personalities.
• Child abuse/corporal punishment and its use as an acceptable means of disciplining children.
• The challenges of raising children with autism and other special needs.
• Teenage pregnancy and parenting and the challenges that arise when there is no support system.
• The loss of a child and the grief that ensues; coping.
• The overall challenges of growing up in the ghetto and the force of will required to change that reality.
• Financial intelligence; the importance of saving toward goals.
Known primarily as half of the dynamic duo Twin of Twins whose fame is largely due to their satirical approach to dancehall, many may not expect this side to Curly Lox. Still, more than anything else, he wants his readers to understand that this is a serious book that deals with serious issues.
His hope is that the book will pave the way for much needed conversations on these issues that he feels are important to the average Jamaican and most importantly, those in the ghetto who are often unable to speak for themselves.
Head of Ghetto People Publishing, Michael Dawson has high hopes for the project. “We are very proud to have published this powerful book from Patrick. There are a lot of things wrong with our society: the way some people treat their children, our political system, the way we treat the less fortunate in Jamaica – especially the poor and physically challenged. Most people won’t talk about it but Patrick will force our people to start having these conversations – the uncomfortable ones, the painful ones – the conversations we must start having if we are going to make our society better.”
With their song ‘Jealous Ova’ gaining traction since its video release recently, dancehall artistes Tifa and Dexta Daps have reportedly become the target of scammers.
The music video was released approximately a week ago and already unscrupulous persons have come out of the woodworks trying to profit from their work. Reports are that persons have set up fake Facebook accounts and have been trying to collect money on behalf of both parties.
According to Craig Harrisingh of Daseca Productions, “People have created fake Facebook pages and email accounts presenting themself as Dexta Daps or as his management. They are taking people’s money for dub plates and deposits for shows…. Dexta Daps does not conduct any business whatsoever via social media. If his business doesn’t go through DASECA Productions it’s not real. This has been going on for about a month.
A special prosecutor has reportedly been appointed to investigate a juror accused of breaking the law during the trial that ended in reggae superstar Buju Banton’s gun and drug conviction on in the US.
Writing yesterday in the Miami NewTimes, Chris Sweeney, said the special prosecutor who was appointed “from outside the US Department of Justice plans to meet with Banton’s legal team, the former juror Terri Wright, and federal agents.
“The appointment of a special prosecutor in such a situation is significant. Such prosecutors are typically reserved for investigating government officials” added Sweeney.
Wright has been accused of conducting improper research during the 2011 re-trial.Banton’s legal team has contended that her action was a breach of court rules and on that basis Banton should be granted a re-trial.
Last month, the US appeals court dismissed his latest application.
