They further added that Guyanese should not miss the opportunity to witness this spectacular performance, which includes genres of music such as chutney, soca, hip hop, reggae, urban, pop, and Bollywood all presented in a true Caribbean style
The band has performed in Guyana, and the best experience they recall was at the national Stadium Providence where Guyanese were really appreciative of the performance the group says "we expect that they would be eagerly awaiting our return "to mash up the place."

A judge on Tuesday sentenced Chris Brown to five years' probation, six months' community labor for the beating of Rihanna and ordered the R&B singer to stay away from his former girlfriend for the next five years. Like that’s gonna happen.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg told Brown that he could be sent to state prison if he violated any terms of his sentence, including an order to stay 100 yards away from Rihanna unless they're attending music industry events. Let’s see if they can resist.
A probation report prepared for Tuesday's sentencing describes two previous violent incidents. The first happened about three months before the February beating while the couple was traveling in Europe; Rihanna slapped Brown during an argument, and he shoved her into a wall. In the second instance, Brown allegedly broke the front and passenger side windows on a Range Rover they were driving while visiting Barbados, Rihanna 's home country. Neither attack was reported, the probation report states.
Brown will serve his sentence in his home state — Virginia — and his community labor will be overseen by the police chief in Richmond.
The judge said she wanted to ensure that Brown, 20, performs physical labor instead of community service, such as mentoring young people. He will also undergo a year of domestic violence counseling.
Rihanna did not attend Tuesday's sentencing. I guess she had other more important stuff to do than watch her abuser face the music.
Michael Jackson’s death has just been ruled as a homicide, he did not have a heart attack. LaToya said it first and the rest of the bunch agreed. They are about to put Dr. Conrad Murray UNDER THE JAIL if one of MJ’s fans doesn’t lay hands on him first.
The Los Angeles County coroner ruled Michael Jackson’s death a homicide Monday after a search warrant affidavit revealed that Jackson had lethal levels of the powerful anesthetic propofol in his system when he died.
The document unsealed Monday allowed officials to raid the Houston offices and storage facility of Dr. Conrad Murray last month.
According to the warrant, Murray, Jackson’s personal physician, had been treating the singer for insomnia with the sedative for six weeks. According to the document, Murray said he had been trying to wean Jackson off the powerful sedative by using smaller doses in combination with the sedatives lorazepam and midazolam.
On the morning Jackson died, Murray said he tried to induce sleep without using propofol, starting first with valium at 1:30 a.m. When Jackson was still awake at 2 a.m., Murray injected Jackson with lorazepam, then injected him with midazolam at 3 a.m. Murray told police he administered several other drugs over the next few hours.
By 10:40 a.m., Jackson, still unable to sleep, urged Murray to give him propofol. Murray said in court documents that he administered 25 milligrams of the drug at that time, then left Jackson alone under the influence of the drug to make phone calls to his Houston office. When he returned, Jackson was not breathing. He performed CPR while a member of Jackson’s staff called 911. The singer was rushed to UCLA Medical Center where he was declared dead sometime later.
The affidavit says, while Murray acknowledged to police that he administered propofol, authorities find no evidence that he had purchased, ordered or obtained the medication under his medical license or Drug Enforcement Administration tracking number. Police detectives found about eight bottles of the anesthetic in Jackson’s house along with other vials and pills that had been prescribed to Jackson by Dr. Murray, Dr. Arnold Klein and Dr. Allan Metzger.
Valium, lorazepam, clonazepam, tamsulosin and other drugs also were confiscated in the search, and propofol was found in Murray’s medical bag. According to the warrant, Murray told police he was not the first doctor to administer propofol to the singer.
Authorities subpoenaed medical records from Klein, Metzger and Dr. David Adams, in addition to Murray, the affidavit states. They also asked for medical records from Dr. David Slavitt, who conducted the independent medical examination of Jackson for Anschuntz Entertainment Group, Dr. Randy Rosen and nurse practitioner Cherilyn Lee.
The affidavit also states that Jackson told Murray that two doctors in Germany had given him propofol. Murray said he repeatedly asked Jackson what other physicians were treating him and what drugs they were prescribing. Murray said Jackson refused to give the information.
Cellink Stars To Jam Things Up At Jamzone Reggae Nite While The International Acts Are All Set And Ready !!!
On August 29 partying fans are guaranteed vibes of excitement, drama and good Caribbean music at the National stadium as part of the Jamzone Reggae Summer Splash offerings.
In addition to shining Diva Timeka Marshall serving up her platter of recent hits and the Hits and Jams entertainment crew are also focused in offering an opportunity to budding local stars.
Insuring this, the Hits and Jams entertainment group has employed the likes of Cellink Jingle winner Malika Boyd, runners up Carlvin Burnette, and Michael Thompson as well as the celebrated finalist Asford Ward
Leading the local lineup Malika Boyd says she will be adding reggae flair to Beyonce’s halo… she also promises that her fans could expect a bigger and better performance as she entertains with sweet and powerful songs.
“My goal is to show that ordinary people could do extra ordinary things.”
Meanwhile speaking of the reggae night show Director Kerwin Bollers said the international acts are ready and pumped up to perform.
Already owning two Accolade awards for the best male gospel artiste of 2008, Guyanese Eddie Neblett is once again set to hit the spotlight as a four-time nominee for the 2009 music awards.
Known for his infectious hit "Love N Unity" among others, he’s currently in Queens, New York, with Colin Hinds, a member of his management team who is promising much from the Guyanese star. At present he is performing in New York at various Summer shows, and according to his management team, he has an action-packed agenda there for August and September, which can be viewed in the "events" section on his website www.eddieneblett.org.
Eddie's management feels that he is one of the most talented, lyrically-positive, individual singer/songwriters out of Guyana in 30 years. It is believed that he possesses the criteria for worldwide acclaim as his work to date consists of about 20 songs, encompassing every genre, and speaks to positive, conscious issues that resonate with audiences worldwide.
Over the last 8-9 months, Hinds assembled a team, mostly based in USA, which has been working to promote his music to the world.
He says “We have put his music on "www.youtube.com". Most people accessing and listening to music on youtube.com are based overseas and so far there have been at least 110,000 hits on his music on this site.”
When you cut hair from your head and glue it to your face to look older, and to give yourself a chance to be selected by a construction foreman who previously rejected you for a job, then you know how desperate Eddie was to support his family.
The married father of two was born and raised in Georgetown, Guyana. His mother brought him up in the church and put him in the choir at the age of seven. As a youth, Eddie simultaneously annoyed and entertained everyone by beating incessantly on sticks and cans as he created his own rhythms. His mom would later urge him to enter and sing in various shows.
One of Eddie's greatest gifts is creating lyrics on the spot to a track that he likes. As he grew in experience, he soon recorded his first song "We can make it" followed by his breakthrough hit "Love N Unity" with its infectious beat, catchy lyrics, and his now famous trademark, rapid-rap style.
He was asked to sing it at the closing ceremony for the 2008 Caribbean Cultural Festival, Carifesta, as well as at the Rio Summit of Latin American leaders, held in Guyana.
Eddie continued to team up with his band of now eight years, Second Coming, to produce what is his favourite song, "Anointed". His major musical influence has been Bob Marley, but his musical talent spans many genres, including reggae, soca and R&B. He has won numerous awards, but none more prestigious than the two Accolade awards in November 2008 for Best Gospel Artist and Song.
He has performed at shows in Brazil with ‘Second Coming’ and also in Barbados, Suriname, St Lucia, St Vincent and Trinidad & Tobago. He was featured with the top gospel reggae band, Christafari, while they performed here.
Eddie has done seven videos and appears frequently on local TV as a spokesperson for GT&T. He is also GT&T's spokesperson and advocate for HIV awareness.
In 2008, Eddie released his compilation album, Prophecies, which features 12 of his original compositions. He is currently working on a new album and is simultaneously performing at numerous concerts/churches in New York City. Eddie's vision is to establish a global presence that will reach millions through his music.
MANAGEMENT OPTIMISMS
The comments left on the video clips on www.youtube.com reflect constant surprise by people abroad that music of this quality is coming out of Guyana. Music lovers from Sweden, Germany, Poland, South Africa, Kenya, Spain, Ireland, England, Canada, USA, Jamaica have been contacting Eddie’s management team with positive comments on his music.
Hinds opined that this proves “how much we have progressed in the last say, 3 years.”
Lion of Zion Records based in California has awarded him "New Artist" status with their sub-division Gospel Reggae, which has begun promoting him on gospelreggae.com.
They have built his personal web-page where his music can be purchased online and also downloaded to MP3 players.
Eddie had the pleasure of being called onstage by Mark Mohr, CEO of Lion of Zion and lead singer of Christafari, at the January show at the National Park to perform a song with the band. Mohr also announced the "signing" to the excited fans.
Eddie is cognizant that the world has shifted and believes that the time is now for a change in how people see their role in the world. He thinks that now is the time to move away from the violent, aggressive lyrics being perpetuated by so many artists and sees himself as "The Conscious Lyricist/Spiritual Artiste". As such his music will continue to reflect that.
It's TIMEKA, working it for the photographers in this Oakley photo shoot....Peep some more shots below.
For this August holidays Timeka has switched gears from the one drop tracks for which she has become known to a high energy, sassy and sporty sound. News from Jamaica is that even as she continues her quest to hit the music main stream she’s upped her game yet again with a music video out of the land of reggae and Dance Hall.
A main feature among artistes the likes of Peetah Morgan, Busy Signal, Barbee and Vegas for the Jamzone Dance Hall/ Reggae Splash Timeka is promising much to her local fans.
After several weeks of unofficial play on local and Jamaican radio stations Marshall’s spicy ‘feel fuh’ dancehall single featuring Jamaican artiste Busy Signal is set for official release as a prelude to the inaugural JamZone Summer Break Weekend.
With Feel Fah produced by Shane C Brown of Juke Boxx Productions Timeka demonstrates her vocal range while sparring with Busy Signal.
The video for this, ‘sure party starter’ with all the professional workings included is completed filming and editing in Jamaica and is a contagious must see.
Based on comments from those in the music fraternity the video in terms of location, dancers, choreography and setting is by far more captivating that any video from a Guyanese artiste. It also brings out a side of Timeka never before seen in any of her previous music videos. Showing all the signs of a maturing artiste who is focused on what she wants she breaks into the mode of a dancer and tastefully sexily so.
The video quality is a must see that local artistes should strive for and in some instances it betters any of those produced by local and Caribbean female dance hall singers. The feel good song brings out the energy through superb choreography that appeal to persons of all ages.
Word from Jamaica is that Timeka has been gearing up for summer by recording a number of radio friendly tracks that have started hitting the airwaves.
Fans can listen out for Timeka's deejay skills on Doesn't Matter on the Equiknoxx produced Monkey Business riddim currently in rotation. The Timeka hit list also includes The Way You Love Me from Penthouse and another track from Juke Boxx on the Road Crusher riddim titled Move On.
Earlier in the year, Timeka blasted to the top of the video charts with All Night, produced by Stephen 'Di Genius' McGregor and directed by Jay Will. Timeka followed up with a provocative collaboration with Peetah Morgan on the Juke Boxx produced Indiscretions riddim.
Her Hush track and his Secrets track were combined for a video medley directed by Gareth Cobran. Both tracks demonstrated her skills as a one drop singer.
Timeka's increased production effort is part of a plan coined by her management team Pyramid Music Group and their strategic production associates, Juke Boxx Productions. The Barbados and Jamaican based entities have partnered to guide the career of the Guyanese born singer. Under the terms of the partnership, Pyramid and Juke Boxx will jointly collaborate on the musical and artistic direction of the artiste.
The team has not held back and neither has Timeka. In addition to a slew of releases in Jamaica bound for international recognition, Timeka has several endorsement deals in Guyana, including a major association with GT&T Cellink. Plus she also recently landed an endorsement deal with international eyewear company Oakley. And, later this summer, fans can look out for Timeka in not one, but two new videos.

Guyanese fans can expect to get their money's worth out of a great night of interactive performances.
When asked if his fans will get some of his new music he said he’s bring much surprise. He said “I never want the fans to be able to study my songs and know what I am going to do at a show...don't want it to be the same thing over and over so we always try to bring something new and different.”
He said that Guyanese fans should come out to see the show because “It's gonna be a maaaad thing...all the Guyanese ladies...looking for you to come wine "pon di edge".
Having performed in Guyana in early 2008 this is his second visit to the local shores and he says “it was a really great experience, people full of vibes.”
Encouraging all despite of ethnic origin to come out to the national stadium, band officials said Guyanese should not miss the opportunity to witness this spectacular performance, which includes genres of music such as chutney, soca, hip hop, reggae, urban, pop, and Bollywood all presented in a true Caribbean style.

Here’s some behind the scenes pics of Timeka Marshall and Busy Signal shooting the music video for their hot new colab ‘Feel Fah’. She’s looking like a natural on the set isnt she? As we anxiously await its release we are hoping that it can live up to all the hype.
Click to enlarge…
It's seems our girl Timeka is too busy these days to make appearances at shows in her own country.
While many were in attendance at the ‘Watts Hott’ Guyana show patiently waiting to see Ms. Marshall perform for her many Guyanese fans.
It was nothing but disappointment for them all, GSB.com got word that Timeka who was scheduled to perform at the ‘Watts Hott’ Guyana show was a no show and while being in Guyana three days before the show, left Guyana the very morning to attend another show in Barbados.
However this is just the word on the street, GSB.com can't really confirm these rumors at the moment but we will get down to it cause we are not trying to paint a bad picture for our girl Timeka. We are sure there is a perfectly logical explanation for why she didnt perform at the show.
We will keep you informed as always.
As competition heats up on the road to crowning a Miss Universe 2009 queen, Guyana is being represented by 19 year-old Jenel Cox.
She is among 84 beauties of the universe competing for the coveted crown and has already made a pretty picture in the costume competition with few but all favorable comments on her page. While one comment read nice Costume another stated Fabulous, she is definitely a winner.
There was also some kudos not only for the Miss Guyana queen but also for her designer that reads Guyana: beautiful costume, she modeled it well, GT all de way.”
There was also a comment that read “Oh this looks good. This is Guyana’s flora and fauna, this is a wonderful piece of work and Miss Guyana is stunning…wow great presentation keep it up you seem to be growing as the competition comes down to the wire.”

GSB just caught wind of a very scandalous report that's popping up all over the internet. Word is a popular reporter has been involved in a gay relationship with a young man for the pass three years and now the young man wants out of it but he is not having it.
Folks are saying he has been tormenting the guy because he doesn't want to accept the fact that he wants out and is going to the extreme, stealing things telling people the guy is a thief and whats not.
He even went as far as to make death threats to the young man...
What is this world coming to can't these guys keep their personal files to themselves.
GSB.com sat down with Paul Charles, dancer at Classique for approximately seven years, as he gave us an insight into the Classique Dance Company.
The Classique Dance Company was founded on the 7th March, 2000 by Mr. Clive Prowell.
The name “Classique” came from French and it is a combination of the past present and the future.
Classique was initially intended to be an all male dance group but subsequently changed to include female dancers because of the stigma attached to men and dancing, and the fact that a lot of females wanted to join also.
According to Charles, “hopefully” in the future Classique will eventually be an all male dance group some day.
The group which was initially a modern basis dance group, made a change to contemporary dance and also acts as an all rounded dance group catering to a more diverse crowd and is recognised as one of the best dance groups currently.
With successful shows such as Zig Zag, Dance Like You Do and most recent Pitch Black.
When asked if the dance company was ready for the international scene a loud YES was chanted but they are looking for sponsorship. If they do get to represent Guyana at that level the dancers will make their country proud and do their best as they always do.
It is fair to say that the Classique Company is divided into two sections: (1) The dance company which deals with all the performances and productions and (2) The dance school which teaches persons to become dancers at different levels.
To anyone contemplating joining the Classique Dance School you can visit their office at 42 Public Road Kitty or contact them on telephone 592-625-0699 or send your emails to cliveprowell@yahoo.com.
You can be sure to expect more from the Classique Dance Company in the future that is a new and exciting show called. “The Battle of the Sexes” which is scheduled for the 5th December 2009 at the National Cultural Centre.
You would have probably heard the news before but we just had to bring it to our readers here on GSB.com
While many were hoping to hear their names to be called as the winner it was the lucky guy up top Mr. Oliver Barnes who drove away with the BIMMER. Oliver Barnes out maneuvered 25 others and found the key to the first Digicel $20M 'Bimmer' (BMW) on Saturday night at the Linden Municipal Bus Park and is giving God thanks first and fore most and Digicel for that blessings.
While many can sing, "Zimm Zimmer, who got the key to the Bimmer", on Saturday night businessman Oliver Adrian Barnes aged 34 burst into excited waving and jumping when he found the slip that read "Zimm Zimmer you got the keys to the Bimmer".
He said "Digicel certainly did pay me back just as the advertisement said and I ain't going anywhere else. I am sticking to the bigger better network."
Prior to the first Bimmer Flex promotion draw, 26 competitors had pocketed $100,000 each and had qualified for Saturday's draw by spelling BIMMER.

After performing “We Should Celebrate” on the Guyanese entertainment circuit to appreciative audiences, Timeka was keen to cultivate her songwriting talents and attended the Barbados Music seminar and Showcase in February 2007. There she blew regional and international music executives away with her obvious talent and enticing sensuality. With just one performance of the gritty dancehall track “Nothing At All”, Timeka was immediately signed to a developmental deal which would see her working with some of Jamaica’s top producers.
Timeka’s commitment and hard work in the initial months she spent in Jamaica has paid off, with the release of two singles – “Free” and “Ice-cream Boy” (a fresh taste on a classic) produced by international reggae producer Clive Hunt and his team of talented musicians. Her relationship with Jamaica and the treasure trove of musicians, directors and producers there continues to grow. As soon as the two singles 
As Timeka continues to evolve as an artist, she looks set to begin 2009 on as much a high note as how she started her career. She recently shot the music video for her saucy and seductive single “All Night”, with the accomplished Jamaican director Jay Will. The video’s director, known for his creative imagination and a solid body of work behind him, decided on a sizzling concept for the video, to match the steamy theme of the track. This latest single is produced by one of Jamaica’s most prodigious producers, Stephen McGregor, who is known only to work with the most talented within dancehall and reggae music. Yet another feather in Timeka’s cap, she has proven that her music has been accepted regionally, with approval coming from the 
The KLAS Teen Jam High School Tour seeks to spread positive messages to young teens as it rolls across the island, with the music which is played along with the artistes who accompany it. The artistes typically perform, share stories with teens, give advice as they sign posters and CD’s. When she’s not in the studio, Timeka can be found gracing the catwalk of numerous fashions shows and is one of the most sought after models in the Guyanese fashion industry. Such is the diversity of her talent. It has barely been two years since winning the jingle competition, yet Timeka has accomplished more in that short time than she could 
Following on the heels of veteran musician and producer Eddie Grant, Natural Black and First Born’s reggae success Timeka has begun to reposition Guyana as a viable force on the international music scene. And her work is far from over.
Combining sweet melodies and taught R&B harmonies with tough toasting skills, T.O.K.’s versatility and unprecedented style have made them arguably the most successful group in dancehall history.
From romping club anthems to stirring one‐drop tunes, T.O.K. delivers a variety of sure‐fire radio hits on their highly anticipated opus Our World. The group covers dancehall’s prerequisites with gal tunes like “Afternoon Pornstar” and bad man talk on “Gangsters Never Die” . Another standout track includes the r&b pop tinged 2008 hit “Guardian Angel”, which despite its shelf life recently became the #1 ringtone in Japan.
The group first tasted stateside success via their 2001 debut album My Crew, My Dawgs and more specifically with international smash single “Eagle’s Cry”, a version of Prince's "When Doves Cry".
In 2005, T.O.K. unleashed their last album Unknown Language which spawned Billboard Top 100 singles "Gal You Lead" and “Footprints”, a tribute dedicated to Alex’s brother who was a victim of a senseless killing. Both of these singles received heavy rotation on crossover radio stations like New York’s Hot 97 and Miami’s Power 96 and on MTV, MTV2 and BET’s 106 & Park. Unknown Language also went Gold in Japan during its first week and quickly went on to sell Platinum.
With their international appeal from Jamaica to Japan, a slew of crossover singles and a universal sound, there has never been a more fitting title for their forthcoming release ‐ Our World.
Timeka Marshall, the first winner of the competition, now seeking international fame, also hails from Linden.
Last year’s first runner-up René Winter is also a Lindener and several young Linden talents have made it to the top ten of the competition over the years. Pattern?
There was some talk brewing around that Boyd the Butcher was over the age limit for the competition, but we guess it was overlooked.
Its the new Timeka Marshall rumor (as if they werent hundreds of them already) GSB.com heard flying around the talk name section of the media. Is it true that Timeka Marshall and Reanno ‘Busy Signal’ Gordon have the hots for each other? If you havent been living under a rock you would know about the colab they did recently entitled ‘Feel Fah’ (we’re anxiously awaiting for it to be a hit). Well GSB.com was told by sources very close to Ms. Marshall and they made it very clear that the rumors are total and utter “BS”. So there you have it, we have confirmed that they are NOT an item. I wonder what they’ll be saying next….

It appears someone is messing around Jigga and his wifey, GSB caught wind of this report and according to a certain website the man isn't scared of anyonebe. Peep the full story below.

As if the Brooklyn rapper didn't have enough on his hands with The Game and the rising D.O.H. (Death of Hova) campaign. He, along with his wife Beyonce have been the recipients of letters with death threats as the topic.
Leon Desmond Barrett, a native of Detroit, was charged for allegedly sending letters to celebrities such as the rapper and former NFL star Jerome Bettis threatening to kill them. In regards to the NFL, Barrett must have his gripes with them in particular as prosecutors have stated that he has sent over 14 letters to the Hall of Fame and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell from 2006 to now.
A complaint was filed Wednesday in regards to Barrett's alleged misdoings which fueled the investigation.
One letter made reference to the killings that happened at Virginia Tech saying that it will be another massacre similar to the school in Virginia happening in Detroit. Barrett must be a bold individual as it was reported that he penned his signature on the majority of the letters along with his home address. Guess that must mean that he wanted any problems to be brought to his front door step as Local 4 news went to his home to question his letters. A simple reply of “No” was given by Barrett when questioned of having anything to say about the allegations and if he had indeed sent the letters.
The tragedy of 9/11has sent a wave of suspicion throughout the United States government to the degree where mail is heavily investigated. This also stemmed from the letters that were mailed with Anthrax back around 2001. In August 2008, the US Department of Justice made the announcement that they believed Dr. Bruce Ivins was responsible for the attacks.
The Detroit news was able to reveal the message that referenced the celebrities mentioned:
A letter dated Aug. 18, 2007, said: "I'm getting ready to start killing some more people. Beyonce, Jay-Z, Jerome Bettis and Tune-up Man are the first 4 people I'm getting ready to kill."
Although all of the celebrities have been contacted about the letter, there has yet to be a response from any. Barrett has not appeared in U.S. District Court in Detroit yet.

While the application falls short of tracking pageviews (which would violate Facebook’s privacy policy), Stalker Check does keep track of your friends’ public interactions – including wall posts, comments, likes, gifts and more – to determine which of your buddies is most, um, interested in your life lately.
Another killer feature: You can also track your friends’ biggest fans. In other words, if you think someone is spending too much time on your significant other’s Facebook page, Stalker Check provides some hard evidence.
Do ya'll like it or NOT ???
