Dear Readers..
I'm not really used to leaving you guys for extended periods of time but unfortunately, I won't be able to post any updates for about a week or two.
As you know, Sugar Minott passed on July 10th but what you may not know is that he is my uncle so I'll be in Jamaica for some time to console my aunt and attend the funeral.
Anyone who is interested in attending the service, it will be held on August 1st at the National Arena. There will also be a public all day viewing at the Youthman Promotions Headquarters at 1 Robert Crescent Lane on July 31st.
Your love and support is truly appreciated.

I'm sorry to hear about your uncle and I wanted to express my condolences to you. Have a safe trip.
You're back now. How did everything go mama?? How's your family doing?
best trip EVER.. despite the circumstances. It was great because it brought a lot of family together so i was able to see a lot of people that i haven't seen in a LONG LONG time.
People cried, it was sad, but we're strong.. we just really miss him.
I'm so grateful that i was able to make the trip.
so sorry to hear,..i hope his life was a example for all to look on and kno what culture and love for reggae was,...bless up!!
thank you all for the support. Uncle Sugar is now laid to rest and no longer suffering from the pain and stresses of life.
Uncle Sugar was one of my major influences when it comes to my devoted love for reggae music, alongside my brother, Spragga Benz.
Two artists who made great contributions to the reggae industry. I do not know how far The Wickedest Time will go or how grand it will become but I will always keep their music alive here on the site, every step of the way.
I dedicate The Wickedest Time to my brother and my uncle, two of my greatest inspirations.
They are the reason why I do what I do today.
Thank you all for reading and supporting.. and I thank you for your love for reggae music.
Updates will return on Monday.. bright and early! :)
