Mavado - Touch & Leggo

The DJ Frass-produced single is already making waves and will likely be a next summer hit for the Gullyside singjay. “Mi just a touch and leggo / Cuz mi no want yo come in a mi life and yo know mi have a wife / What yo want me to do / Yes she know and she love me same way / She even see me tomorrow and she f*** me same way,” Mavado sings.

Mavado has released a handful of new singles since the start of the year which signals a return to local soil after spending a long time overseas over the last few years. Listen to the new song “Touch & Leggo” below.

Mavado ft. Nicki Minaj - Give It All To Me

Jamaican singer and We The Best signee Mavado's collaboration with Nicki Minaj, "Give It All To Me," is a fantastically fun blend of raucous celebration and intimate come-ons. A highlight from DJ Khaled's just-released album, Suffering From Success, it now has the perfect party video to match its vibe. Nicki comes through to rap her typically killer, patois-tinged verse ("Got the coupe black and blue, yup, it's bruised up/I'm like 'who's up?'/Girls is used up/These bitch niggas my sons/I tied my tubes up") from the front seat of her car and later joins Mavado's beachfront cabana bash, where romance, tension and good times are all afoot.

Kartel Draws Massive Crowd At Hospital

Chants of free 'World Boss' and a number of persons displaying the 'Gaza' symbol, characterised the scene at a section of the Kingston Public Hospital for a few minutes yesterday.

This as embattled dancehall artiste Vybz Kartel had been taken to the hospital to seek medical attention, reportedly for chest pains.

Patients, visitors and employees at the downtown Kingston institution reportedly flocked to an area which led to the X-ray department, to get a glimpse of where the artiste had gone.

One witness said that Kartel was dressed in an orange T-shirt, a pair of washed-out jeans pants and orange shoes. He was also sporting "a freaked-out hair style", the witness shared.

A staff member at the institution, who identified himself as Bugs, said the artiste was hugged by a woman and Kartel allegedly told her, "You know a long time mi nuh get a hug".

When asked why Kartel had come to the hospital, Bugs said that the artiste had chest pains and had come for an X-ray.

The man also said that Kartel was later whisked away from the institution in a grey Nissan motor vehicle with a Department of Correctional Services license plate.

Commissioner of Corrections, Lieutenant Colonel Sean Prendergast, declined to state what medical treatment the artiste had gone to the hospital for, but said the artiste was moved to the institution for treatment following a routine sick parade.

According to the commissioner: "He was being seen by one of our doctors at Horizon during a sick parade we have once a week. He was subsequently referred for outside treatment for a medical complaint".

Kartel, who is being accused of the murder of Clive 'Lizard' Williams, was remanded on his last appearance in the Home Circuit Court on June 7.

The artiste, along with his other co-accused, has been ordered to return to the court on November 18, when it is expected that their trial will begin.
