Lookout For Voice Mail’s New Mix Tape

Dancehall duo Voicemail has released a new mix tape just ahead of the planned summer release of its fourth studio album. The mix tape which is entitled the Journey Continues was mixed by popular radio jock and selector Kurt ‘the Party Animal’ Riley.

In a release to the media, group member Kevin Blair outlined that the mix tape is intended to keep its growing fan base entertained until the new album is released.

“We just released the mix tape and at the same time we are fine tuning tracks for the upcoming album which is coming out this summer. This is something that we want the fans to have to keep them entertained until the album drops”, said Blair.

Blair said the forthcoming album promises to be an entertaining and eclectic mix of material. Titled Next Level, it is the follow up to the group’s most recent album Jump Off which did reasonably well in Japan.

Voice Mail recently released the video for the track Wrong Number which features singer Alaine. The video was directed by Dejo Films in Germany and was completed over a two day period.

On the performance side, the duo recently completed performances in St. Kitts and Nevis as well as in the Bahamas.

The 16 track mix tape which according to Blair, is hosted by fans of Voicemail, is the latest in a series of mix tapes that the group plans to release over an extended period.

Grammy Award-winning Dancehall diva Lady Saw will serve as a guest judge on episode five of Caribbean fashion designer reality series Mission Catwalk which airs Tuesday April 24th on Television Jamaica.

She will join executive producer/host Keneea Linton-George, judges Novia McDonald-Whyte, Jamaica Observer lifestyle editor and noted menswear designer Carlton Brown in critiquing the work of the remaining 12 designers who will be divided into four groups of three. The teams will have to convince the judges that their mini collection for celebrity/style icons Michelle Obama, Victoria “Posh” Beckham, Nicki Minaj and Lady Saw herself is the best of the lot.

When asked if she considers herself a fashion icon Lady Saw (born Marion Hall) replies, “Yes I do see myself as a fashion icon. I’m always into fashion I love Christian Louboutin shoes and Marc Jacobs dresses; anything that’s fly- that’s me. I will go all out and rock a very expensive outfit for a big show; but sometimes I do mess up; like when I wait last minute and I’ll call somebody to get me something and it doesn’t work. That can be a disaster!”

The deejay, known for delivering outspoken lyrics onstage in between wig-pulling (hers of course) and kicking off her heels, is working on her ninth studio album, Lady Saw Presents: Marion Hall on her Divas Recordings imprint. The album will include various genres including country and jazz. Lady Saw is currently working on a screenplay and filming the video for “Sidung” her recent collaboration with Elephant Man.

Though the “Love Sick” singer declined to spill the beans her designer favorites, she remarked that her experience on Mission Catwalk was “fun!” Which group of regional designers (from Barbados, Belize, Guyana, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago) will impress the dancehall veteran and fashion icon? Who will rule the catwalk?

Find out by tuning in to Television Jamaica on Tuesday April 24 at 8:30 PM. For those in Trinidad the series airs Tuesdays at 9:30 PM on TV6. Mission Catwalk streams online at www.televisionjamaica.com/livetv and is presented by NCB, Supreme Ventures and Digicel.

YuhSeeYou Entertainment & Publicity Sends Out A Public Apology‏

Over the last three weeks Reeva Ann Proctor also known as Miss-Reeva of Canada’s Leading Dancehall & Reggae Publicity Firm was publically humiliated over various social networking outlets by Torontonians Young Dancehall artist “Keron Williams”. The actions the artist decided to act on to create a hype for himself and animosity between YuhSeeYou and their current clients has been an annoyance and is affecting other artists careers aswell as Miss-Reeva’s own non-profit organizaton “Youth Dem Future”.

Reeva Proctor would like to apologize for the annoyance on fans social networks, and reputation this may have affected on current clients. YuhSeeYou is currently managing Sampaloo, Publicist for Bridgez out of the Alliance, Squaddy G, and is working on Campaigns both with I-Octane and Destine Media on the “Crying to the Nation” Canadian tour, and the SoFlo Dancehall Reggae Awards.

The two joined forces beginning of March to start endeavours on a basic publicity start-up package – as he was looking for a firm to give him the promotion he needed because according to him several companies and social media personelle such a Krish Genius, and Rawtid TV had “ripped” him off in the past.

Reeva states how she offered Keron Williams the following package at a 3-Month Contract reduced rate”

This was in an e-mail written by YuhSeeYou@gmail.com March 4th, 2012

Promoter Blast [If you supply a PDF/Professional Electronic Press Kit*]/m

$50 dollars is the cost for any Jamaica Print Media
PDF Press Kit from me is $150 with this Package.

As for a Plan I say we

Start out with an appropriated Press Release about a music video/event/ect that will tie in to an introduction, as looking on the internet there are no press releases anywhere.

DJ Blasts - Choose your 2 songs

After about 2-3 Months - I suggest a Write up in the Jamaica Star

Social Network Blast will be your choice of one single for facebook, and one or 2 for Twitter.

The Money was sent by Keron Williams Via Western Union March 5th –for the package and ½ the funds for a PDF Press Kit. He was told that March 12th the contract would begin, his next payment date being April 12th. His baby mother and Publicist, Sherri from Shining Star PR than started to sub-tweet YuhSeeYou on twitter stating that I was trying to take her clients, than continued on to say that I promised to do work without completing it though the artist and I had already came to an agreement to start March 12th.After receiving a bad vibe from his team, I told the artist on March 23rd, 2012 I am going to put a hold and cancel our contract and finish what I have to do for you such as press release and social media promotion, and hold an apology.”

On March 27th, 2012 – Keron Williams aka Elements Definitely on facebook writes : “everything inna mi tells me that yuh badmind mi so...mi nuh want no appologie.........just return mi money or jus live with the fact seh yuh rip mi off and you are a fake promoter.........”

The artist than blocked Reeva on facebook, and decided to ignore phone calls instead of acting like a Business professional. After several attempts to contact the artist to send the PDF Press Kit, I deleted the clients file and moved on.

As of March 28th until today April 18th the artist has broadcasted across twitter, facebook, and media personnel’s worldwide creating an uproar of lies to ensure it hurt the firm’s reputation.
