Have you ever met someone and just felt like you instantly would be friends with that person? Well, that is what happened when we did an interview with Selectas Jaw Breaker and Fyah Starter of Riddim Express. These guys are true music heads and focus on quality musical content in every podcast and mix that they do. No, these guys are not Jamaican, but they definitely know their reggae, dancehall, lovers rock and hip hop. Like so many people, their love for Jamaican music came out of a love for hip hop music. Right now, they have a couple of projects in the pipeline. There is even a top secret project that is soon going to take world by storm, so get over to www.riddimexpress.com to stay tuned to updates. Here is the exclusive interview Spliffy and I did with Jaw Breaker and Fyah Starter. Enjoy it and let us know your feedback!

Right now in Jamaica, the ban on “daggarin” is a big issue. For people living “a foreign” (abroad/overseas) this is probably news to you. But before we get into the details, don’t you want to know what is “DAGGARIN?”
No, daggering is not some insane stabbing done by Jamaicans. And no it is not a Jamaican form of sword fighting …pause. The Jamaican Broadcasting Commission, who banned “daggarin” in the first place defines it as “a colloquial term used in dancehall culture as a reference to hardcore sex or what is popularly referred to as dry sex, or the activities of persons engaged in the public simulation of various sexual acts and positions”.
The truth is, I can try to tell you about daggering or you can actually witness it with your own eyes. Here is a video of “daggarin” done by emerging dancehall artist, Aidonia.
By clicking below you can see the sequel to this video where Mystic Davis, a friend of a friend (Big Up Spliffy!!), talks about daggering and dancing in Jamaica.We are hoping to interview Mystic in the coming months, so stay tuned. Also, pay attention to her Jamaican Patois…real ting dat!
