E ar thKr y r ecently dr opped the visual to their new<br />

tune "Philosophy" and it's jamming. This is r eal soulful<br />

Reggae music to my ear s. The wor ds to the song itself ar e<br />

deep and meaningful, music with a message is always<br />

power ful and the r ecipe for a hit. The song talks about<br />

discipline and being r ighteous. As I quote some of the<br />

lyr ics "yeah foolish man shall fade away", and "the foolish<br />

man thinks he knows it all" you don't know the things you<br />

think you know oh<br />

The gr oup is made up of 4 individuals Philip<br />

Mcfar lane, Kier on Cunningham, Kamar do Blake and<br />

Aldayne Haughton. Summer 17, is gonna be hot and<br />

smoking for the band as they schedule tour dates in a city<br />

near you.<br />

"Ok ladies here it is, I know<br />

you?re dying too hear this.<br />

Belowis a fewways you can<br />

tell if a man is broke or nah,<br />

or just plain frugal. "<br />

1. ?Both Hands In The Pockets?<br />

If he?s walking ar ound with<br />

both hands in his pockets he<br />

AIN?T got nothing in the<br />

pockets bottom line. He?ll ask<br />

a million and one questions<br />

and have you under the<br />

impr ession he?s either going<br />

to be back next week or lead<br />

you to believe it?s just not<br />

what he?s looking for. But the<br />

tr uth is homeboy is just an<br />

?eye shopper ? with no duckets<br />

in the bucket.<br />

2. ?One Hand In The Pocket?<br />

This is a sur e sign he is Mr. Fr ugal Mc.<br />

Dugal. Now this doesn?t mean he?s not<br />

going too buy anything this just means<br />

he?s car eful with his spending habits.<br />

This is the guy that wants way mor e<br />

for way less and bids low not high. On<br />

the br ight side of thing?s he?s usually<br />

not br oke either. In fact this is the guy<br />

that says ?I ain?t got it? but I pr omise<br />

you El Cheapo Del Gado has it in the<br />

bank.<br />

3. ?No<br />

Hands In The Pocket?<br />

Is a sur e sign of a big spender. Please<br />

let?s not confuse this with a baller, I said<br />

spender. These guy?s usually have a gr eat<br />

per sonality and a million dollar smile<br />

and can char m the socks off a chic.<br />

Sometimes he's extr emely funny and<br />

super animated. Don?t be fooled though<br />

this guy will spend his bill money to ball<br />

out on a budget just to impr ess you.

"ONE CHA NCE"<br />

I-Octane has been busy r ecor ding<br />

and dr opping singles leading up to the<br />

r elease of his four th album. "One<br />

Chance" is the latest one ft. Ginjah. It's<br />

a ver y soft tune that makes you want<br />

to r ock back and four th singing "mi<br />

only need one chance mi only need one<br />

giving that oppor tunity" yeah it's<br />

catchy like that. The joint was well<br />

pr oduced by Ainswor th and Lyndon<br />

Hull (Footstepzz) and that beat is fir e.<br />

On another note about a month<br />

ago I-Octane dr opped the visual to<br />

"Long Division" featur ing Spice and I'm<br />

loving this one to the max. Ya'll the<br />

chemistr y between these two ar tist<br />

kind of r eminds me of the Jamie<br />

Fox/Fantasia kiss without the tongue<br />

kiss. The dancer s wer e insync, super<br />

sexy, and the ener gy was all the way<br />

live.<br />

These two singles have a totally<br />

differ ent vibe all together, and that<br />

let's us know his new album ought to<br />

be a r eal tr eat.<br />

1.8 MILLIONGIRLSSOLDINTOPROSTITUTIONWORLDWIDE<br />

STOPHUMANTRAFFICKING<br />

Human Trafficking is at an all time high right now. Modern day slavery<br />

has taken over third world countries. No money, no resources, no man<br />

power, and not enough people giving a f* ck. I have to admit the US and<br />

Canada have been cracking down and making arrests, and even rescuing<br />

victims.<br />

However in places like India, China and Cambodia these little girls are<br />

being sold into the sex trade. Babies age 5 to 15 are sold off abused, and<br />

made to have sexual intercourse with men the ages of their father?s. The<br />

total amount of customers per day average between 15 and 20. I can?t even<br />

imagine what they are going through considering most women won?t even<br />

screw their own husbands once a week.<br />

In Cambodia and India it's considered normal among poor people to<br />

"sell their daughters virginity" to foreign business men. The mom take the<br />

girls to the doctor to get a "certificate" stating they were virgins. Then they<br />

are dropped off at the hotel with the pedophile. After he 's done the girls are<br />

returned home only to be sold off on "lease terms" to underage brothel's.<br />

Loan shark debt in Cambodia and unexpected medical expenses are to the<br />

reasons given by the mother's who were interviewed. Although I call bullshit<br />

this is what our world has come to. #ProjectAmina<br />

I F YOU ARE HAVI NG TROUBLE<br />

SLEEPI NG TRY THI S EASY TRI CK<br />

I know sever al people have tr ouble sleeping at night. One thing that concer ns a lot of<br />

us is the nar cotics used in most sleep aids. I?ve tr ied melatonin myself which is all natur al<br />

however I?m just not too big on popping pills.<br />

I r emember r eading somewher e the many uses of differ ent car r ier oils . Well I<br />

accidentally used one of the oils to take off my makeup. Then it dawned on me? CASTOR<br />

OIL puts you to sleep like a newbor n baby. It?s only one issue you must make sur e you have<br />

plenty of hour s to sleep because if not it will leave you feeling tir ed the next day.<br />

All you need is a few dr ops of castor oil and massage it into your eye lids and r elax. You<br />

will begin to feel sleepy and star t to dose off.<br />

"Random Thought "<br />

Why has social media took over<br />

human behavior? Hash tags and<br />

emojis are used to express ones<br />

emotion in a sentence I<br />

understand fads and of course<br />

generational change..<br />

For example , if a group of<br />

people were born in the sixties.<br />

They would have a heavy<br />

upbringing with respect, morals,<br />

chores. And much worse. Things<br />

such as segregation, ridiculous<br />

wars... I could go on forever but<br />

no need back to the point at<br />

hand... In those days the 50's,<br />

60's, and so fourth. They didn't<br />

have the technology we do<br />

today. Some would be saying<br />

duh right now..but I bet you can't<br />

remember five random numbers<br />

in your cell phone. I mean when's<br />

the last time anyone has used a<br />

house phone....our even seen a<br />

pay phone.. Besides at your<br />

airports and bus stations..<br />

There are tons of pros and cons to<br />

having social media around...it has<br />

cost and gained for some of us and for<br />

others mainly older generations they<br />

find it as be non sense.. I would agree<br />

to a certain extent.<br />

Some things I have seen on social<br />

media are crazy...at times .. But there<br />

are also positive things on these social<br />

media sites as well...<br />

It is up to the individual at the end of<br />

it all.. Always watch what you pit out<br />

on the web Some folks use it against<br />

you.. Iys kinda like allowing someone<br />

to vet inside your head to keep you<br />

burnable and from achieving..<br />

? Sier r a Leone The Beauty Beyond Diamonds?<br />

Sier r a Leone was given it's name by a Por tuguese explor er back in the 1400's. They speak in English,<br />

,and "Kr io" which is basically a pidgin English made up of a combination of differ ent languages<br />

including Yor uba, Spanish and Por tuguese. "Kabo" means welcome just like in the Yor uba language<br />

and "kueshe means hello.<br />

Sier r a Leone is one of the most beautiful countr ies in the wor ld. Although it?s r ated one of the<br />

poor est nations it?s r icher in miner al content and natur al r esour ces than any other. Bauxite, ir on<br />

or e, copper and gold ar e plentiful as well as cocoa, coffee, and the fishing industr y is gr owing<br />

tr emendously.<br />

After the massive civil war over the ?blood diamonds? sever al citizens wer e displaced leaving<br />

thousands of childr en homeless living in the str eets. The countr y was destr oyed however they have<br />

been able to r ebuild slowly but sur ely. A small boost in their economy took place after the Kimber ly<br />

Pr ocess Cer tificate or ?KPC? was implemented r educing diamond smuggling and enabling the<br />

countr y to char ge an expor t tax in the amount of 3% per par cel of stones being shipped out of the<br />

countr y.<br />

In fact it?s sever al gover nment investment oppor tunities via the pr esidents website. Some with<br />

minimal investments fr om miner al mining, to agr icultur al type of ventur es. In fact r esear cher s have<br />

stated that the water is amongst the pur est in the wor ld.


Many XPATS and entr epr eneur s fr om all<br />

over the wor ld live in Sier r a Leone. And<br />

believe it or not it?s becoming mor e and<br />

mor e of a tour ist attr action. Fr om Lumley<br />

Beach to Banana Island, the countr y has<br />

plenty of things to see and do. Fr om my<br />

per sonal exper ience with Natives living in<br />

the United States and the things I?ve r ead<br />

about ?Sweet Salone? the people ar e some of<br />

the fr iendliest, welcoming most humble<br />

individuals in the wor ld.<br />

New Brookfield Hot el<br />

Another thing when you fly into Lungi<br />

air por t you will have to take a water taxi or<br />

the tr aditional way by jumping on the local<br />

fer r y. To my sur pr ise you have to cr oss the<br />

r iver in or der to get into Fr eetown. Another<br />

thing that you must see is the famous "TREE"<br />

because it has so much histor y behind it.<br />

When slaves wer e "depor ted" back to Afr ica<br />

many wer e dr opped off in Sier r a Leone<br />

r ight ther e in "Fr eedom Town" later<br />

changed to Fr eetown because they wer e<br />

finally fr ee.<br />

So if you?r e consider ing a vacation in West<br />

Afr ica I?d like to suggest Sier r a Leone. If<br />

you?r e looking to kick back and r elax New<br />

Br ookfield Hotel located at Jomo Kenyatta<br />

Fr eetown is the place to be. With 4.8 Star s<br />

on Tr ip Advisor I decided to r each out to the<br />

hotel manager Ahmed Haidor for<br />

per mission to publish his establishment.<br />

The r ooms ar e exceptionally clean, with<br />

fr ee WiFi, coffee maker s, gar den and<br />

ter r ace, and 24 hour fr ont desk ser vice.<br />
