Even though "Get Busy" dropped down from #1 to #4,Sean Paul continues his reign on the NM REGGAE DANCEHALL CHARTS alongside Sasha with "I'm Still In Love", a wonderful love-song released by Steelie & Cleevie as a tribute to the legendary Jamaican producer Joe Gibbs, who passed away last year. Sanchez climbed up to # 2, with his awesome "Frenzy", while the CLAPPAS riddim is still very dominant with 4 entries this time, led by the prophet Capleton's "Clappin'" at #3. Beenie Man & TOK hold tight at #5, while Mr.Vegas'&Alozade's "Under Mi Sensi" dropped to #14 and Pickney is still standing firm at#12. Shaggy's SEXY LADY riddim continues to grow on the people out here as demonstated by the title track at #6, Tanto & Devonte's selection at # 16, and the Danny English/Tia combination at #18. Dave Kelly's ME NUH KNOW has re-entered the chart in the form of Baby Cham and J, while Black Shadow's SURPRISE riddim also experienced quite a resurgence. Sean Paul's "Shake That Thing" climbed back up to #8, while Buju's "Paid Not Played" is now represented by a brand-spankin'-new video, which is currently running up & down BET. Mr.Easy closes out the Black Shadow selection this time around. Elephant Man & Wayne Wonder got a "Krazy Feeling" inside, on the KRAZY beat, out of the Don Corlean camp. Also brand-new on our charts are two releases on King Jammy's 2003 version of the BA BA BOOM by Ward 21 and Anthony Cruz, while the rootical anthems from Sizzla and Buju on Digital B's ONE TO ONE continue to stand tall. Bubbling under is a heavyweight beat from Stonelove, entitled BAGHDAD. The riddim is based on the r&b/hip-hop track SNAKE and it features Capleton, Bounty, Sizzla, Beenie, etc. etc. The creme de la creme of dancehall reggae. Also out is the REGGAELYPSO-a calypso-deal on Raggedy Joe featuring reggae artists as Lady Saw and Tanya Stephens. King Of Kings released their new hardcore beat BAD COMPANY (featuring Beenie Man's massive "Row Like A Boat"-another hilarious new dance outta JA) as did Richie Stephens' Pot Of Gold label in the shape of the CARIBBEAN STYLE. Check the BROTHERHOOD review section for more details on all of these gems in the near future. Bless up massive: Don Martin.

Date: Thursday, July 10, 2003 4:53 PM From: From: "John Reichle" This Friday Creation Steppin' Radio will celebrate it's one year anniversary! Nothing special planned show-wise, but I thought that this would be a good time to pause and reflect on what a positive thing a R.A.W. membership has been for myself, and the station. So many, many people have stepped up to help me in one way or another, be it with promotional copies of music, words of encouragement, advice, knowledge, connections, the whole works. R.A.W. has been instrumental in my success, which has seen me start from nothing and end up with the #1 reggae stream at Live365, reaching upwards of 2,000 listeners every day. I just want everyone to know how much I appreciate everyone's help, and there have truly been too many people to mention...but to point out just a few, Sista Irie, Jeanette Smith, Professor Skank, Daddy Roots, roots-ee and Katt have been particularly kind. All I can say is that I'm looking forward to another year like this one. RAWspects- DJ Bahilman (John Reichle, RAW # 1681) Creation Steppin' Radio http://www.creation-steppin.com [10]--------------------------------------------------------------------- >From Jeanette Smith (#1421) Date: Tue, 8 Jul 2003 16:10:07 -0400 From: Stone Tiger Subject: Stone Tiger 'Dis & 'Dat (07-08-03) -- All About Peter Tosh Stone Tiger 'Dis & 'Dat (07-08-03) Greetings, Blessings abound and we give thanks to all of you for your continued support and love. We have secured distribution for Mikey General's "Exalt Jah" and Lehbanchuleh's "Claim the Joy" and the albums will soon be available through major retailers as well as continue to be available through indie shops and on-line. If you don't see them on the shelf, just ask for them and they should be there in a matter of days. Please check our website for more information regarding where to purchase these albums and other upcoming projects at http://www.stonetiger.net. But for today, I really wanted to focus on the Peter Tosh Foundation and the wonderful projects that are currently underway to honor this reggae legend through the talents and energies of Michael Malott, the project creator. I had the pleasure to meet with Mike several times while he was here in Miami recently and to also meet with the planners of the October 2003 tribute events for Peter Tosh and am greatly encouraged by the energy and love for the music that I saw at those meetings. The reggae world is blessed for having such stalwarts (King of Kings Productions, Jamaica Awareness) to carry on these ventures and I'll update you with more information through the newsletter and our site as it becomes available and, of course, you can always access the Tosh Foundation site at http://www.ptosh.com. Blessed love to all of you! A Wha Gwaan? It's exciting to see all of the wonderful things happening through the Peter Tosh Foundation: * October 2003 promises to be a month of celebration to honor Peter Tosh with tribute concerts to be held in both Jamaica and Miami with Miami's concert to tentatively include many of the artists from "The Peter Tosh Tribute Album". * And also in October -- Symposiums, a Film Festival, Recognition from various governmental entities of Peter Tosh (ironic & just that his message has reached and touched to this level as Peter always moved outside the system). * A Limited Edition Collector's CD (only 1000 copies to be pressed) to be entitled "Put My Faith in Jah" is scheduled for August release and is available for pre-order right now at http://www.ptosh.com/benefit.html All tracks for this fundraising cd have been donated by the artists (Toots & the Maytals, Joe Higgs and many more) out of love for Peter and his works -- the cd will also include a rare acoustic track from Peter Tosh himself. Truly a delight -- visit the site and order yours now before they are all gone! * Instruments for the Youth, a program of the Peter Tosh Foundation, works with manufacturers of musical instruments, corporations, celebrities and music stores to provide musical instruments to underprivileged children who have a desire to play music and who could not afford an instrument under other circumstances. Nurturing the talent of the young, definitely a worthwhile cause. Who's Involved? The outpouring of love and support that the Tosh Foundation has received from around the world has been overwhelming for project creator Michael Malott, who recently won the 2003 Worldwide Ambassadors Humaniatarian Honors Award for the Peter Tosh Tribute Album project. Reggae has always showed its love and respect for other genres of music but it is touching to see the respect returned by so many including Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, Billy Joel, No Doubt, Carlos Santana, and others. Some have donated songs, others have offered their talents for a benefit concert and others have donated instruments and items for a celebrity auction. Peter Tosh, the rebel who always spoke out for truth and justice, continues to be heard throughout the world. How Can I Be Involved? Buy A Brick! The Tosh Foundation is enabling members of the public to become initial founders of the Peter Tosh Museum, which is currently under construction in Belmont, Jamaica. By buying a brick for the museum with a minimum $25 donation, the patron's name will be listed on a plaque in the museum, and each contributor will receive an "Honorary Member" certificate from The Tosh Foundation suitable for framing. Contributors will also be entered into a contest to win lots of great prizes including Peter Tosh CD's, T-shirts, box sets, and VIP passes to the First Annual Peter Tosh International Music Festival in Montego Bay, Jamaica in October, 2004 for Peter's 50th birthday. Contributors' names will also be added to the brick wall on the Tosh Foundation site. The Foundation will also be constructing a medical clinic and a library in Belmont. These renovations and additions will do much to stimulate the economy of Belmont, a small rural fishing village, and will preserve the memory of the great Peter Tosh with proper respect. Many more projects are also anticipated that will benefit Jamaica and its people. Buy your brick today with a much needed donation to this most worthwhile cause at http://www.ptosh.com/brick.html and allow your contribution to be remembered and appreciated by reggae fans for years to come! Notes, Quotes & Things To Come * Edi Fitzroy's "We A Lion" to be released shortly in the US & a new album in the works for late 2003/early 2004 release, "Love The People Want," from Henry K Productions * Lehbanchuleh, whose debut album, "Claim the Joy," has been very well-received, will be recording an album with Cocoa Tea later this year * Mikey General will be touring with Luciano in late July & August throughout the US and will be actively promoting his album, "Exalt Jah" as well as an upcoming VP release during this tour * Edi Fitzroy will be included on "The Peter Tosh Tribute Album" with the wicked tune "Burial" to be released in December 2003; Edi will also be on the 4-track advanced EP scheduled for September release that will also include a track from Jerry Garcia (of the Grateful Dead), Martha Davis (of the Motels) and another still unchosen track -- what a great way to inaugurate the October 2003 celebrations in honor of Peter Tosh! * Admiral Tibet, Lehbanchuleh, Terry Ganzie, Mikey General, & Edi Fitzroy will all be included on a tribute album for Eric Clapton that is in the works right now and being recorded through Henry K Productions * Admiral Tibet's "Determination" will be available in mainstream shops throughout the US later this summer along with Mikey General's "Exalt Jah" & Lehbanchuleh's "Claim the Joy" which will be available soon * The Abyssinians will be in California later this month so for interviews, please contact us at interviewrequests@stonetigerentertainmentgroup.com right away * Admiral Tibet has upcoming US releases from Heartbeat Europe (a combination with Mykal Rose) & Artists Only (from Tibet's younger days) -- we'll keep you posted * The Abyssinians will soon be showcasing "Reunion" from their own website and releasing promo copies of a single from their upcoming album entitled "Rastafari Na' Just Hair & Beard" * Please visit the website for news, updates & retail information and contact George Michailow from Fast Lane International at info@fastlaneintl.com for booking inquiries.
