The leading vocalist from the famous reggae band, Toots & The Maytals was injured and sent to a local hospital after being hit by an empty glass bottle that was hurled on stage during his performance in Richmond, Virginia.
Yesterday on May 18th, Frederick "Toots" Hibbert was performing at the Dominion Riverrock Outdoor Sports and Music Festival when an unidentified 19 year old man made the attack. Police has charged the young man with aggravated assault while Toots was treated at a nearby hospital for a cut to his head.
According to the festival organizers, the attack caused the event to end prematurely but Toots stayed positive despite the situation and regrets having the concert end early on his behalf.

When I first heard Gyptian's 'Serious Times' I knew he was something special, but I also pegged him as a very conscious Reggae artist. However, he is proving to be a force to be reckoned with in Dancehall with such songs as 'Whine' and 'Til A Mawning.'
He does it again with 'Non Stop,' a tune that has every girl running to the dance floor.
Korean Pop sensation, Psy changed the way people listened to music when he released his hit single, "Gangnam Style". Now he may be changing the way you eat!

Even though the deadline to enter this competition is over, I am proud to announce that Jamaican chef Shelley Chapman has entered the competition with an exciting fusion idea to add to the mix. Check out her entry video by clicking here and continue to follow the competition.
QQ introduces a new dance to the people called the 'One Drop' in his new song sharing the same name. This is a Stashment production featuring a new artist by the name of Venomus. The song showcases QQ's uncanny ability to drive the ladies to dance.
In order to do the 'One Drop' one must bend over, back and legs must remain straight, then one is to shake the rear and stomp either leg to the beat.
Truth be told, the dance is funny looking and the ladies look a bit constipated while doing it but it seems to be fun. Not sure if this is a hit or miss but watch the video and you be the judge.
Who knew that Bugle and Raine Seville were once an item and shared a child together? I didn't!
Since the release of the promotional pictures for 'Sekkle Dung' by Konshens and Raine Seville there have been quite a bit of shade thrown her way and I just did not understand why. It seemed like so many had something to say about the pictures and I just chalked it up to hate. I thought maybe women just did not like the idea of Raine being all up on their man (in their head), Konshens.
That was up until Bugle came out with his new song, 'Nuh Compatible' on the 4play Riddim. Nuh Compatible stirred up some more controversy because reports are saying that the song is a diss record aimed at Raine.
"If mi deh wid yu it woundn't help me, it nuh mek sense we try cuz we nuh compatible, yu might educated but yu nuh wise... yu nuh have nuh adrenaline a mi haffi a drive, you wah gain and nuttin yu nuh try every year all yu duh wait pon ATI. Dats why yu have a bag a man a wine yu cuz yu a wait pon dem fi mine yu," Bugle sings.
The separation of Bugle and Raine Seville did not become apparent until right after the semi nude photos were released and allegedly is the motivation behind the release of the song.
Bugle is quoted as saying in regards to the photos that...
"Well, it's not my style of music as you know, but I wish her all the best and hope it works out for her... My problem with the pics is I wouldn't want to see our daughter in pictures with a man holding on to her breasts. As a parent you have to set good examples."
The official video for 'Nuh Compatible' directed by Jay Will features cameos by songstress Alaine and Dancehall personality, Flippa Mafia. The two depict a much happier couple in comparison to the main character who was quite miserable in his current situation.
Details behind the break up are unclear but Bugle did have this to say, "our relationship produced a beautiful child, Layla-Rei. Right now, it doesn't even matter why we split, we just did and we have moved on with our lives."
