Entertainment Macco

Greetings,

We would like to start off by saying thank you for making us trendsetters, as we see many a website didn't bother to ask they just thief we Exclusive interview on Donoe’o and Problem Child and didn't even bother to give us credit. We would also like to give props to the Punch Newspaper (Ms. Badal) for dealing with the business professionally and asking us for permission as well as giving us credit for using our exclusive interview with Donae’o.


On to other things we Macco-ed this week

We macco-ed that the most experienced musician in the band resigned but somehow we are hearing that he get fired. Which one is it? Now as far as we know he was the Musical Director and SW and You was already sounding lil shaky so what will happen to the band now?
Ozy MajiQ is giving up singing, recording and performing? If allyuh did not know…Ozy MajiQ is probably one of the most consistent Rapso artistes in Trinidad and Tobago and has been toiling for many a years….It has finally gotten to him and the man is saying that it has reached a point where it is impossible to build an industry outside of Carnival with little or NO resources….. He is putting down the MIC but would he loose his love for music is what I wonder? Ozy is saying that he is uncertain what his next move is career wise but he is certain that it would have a positive impact on the community BOTH locally and globally.....

On another note we macco-ed that a big big bigggggg promoter in New York advertised JW and Blaze this past weekend for an event knowing fully well that they weren’t coming any where and then because it had a storm they show got cancelled….But we also hear that two big big Soca Stars pay their way to go to America to perform on that show, I wonder how they feeling?


Now I bought a copy of the “Socabox” CD and was very very surprised when I realized that big big tune by Shal and Screws was written by Kernal Roberts and Tishard Barrington AKA Screws, so how it is that Shal went to Toronto alone and perform the tune without Screws, wah happen like screws get lock up again for weed and he couldn't make the flight? OR is it that Shal trying to run away with the song?


Is so many things we Macco-ed this week? Well yesss…. Another thing…

We also understand that there is controversy brewing in the Entertainment Industry; RIATT (Recording Industry Association of T&T)..is calling for transparency in the firing of some Board Members and the re-hiring of New Board Members in TTENT (Trinidad and Tobago Entertainment Company)...All yuh hear anything about that? Apparently some of the board of directors were asked to leave aka fired and they are being replaced "secretly"....apparently there were no consultations or offer of consultation/s with entertainment stakeholders and this is why RIATT is calling for transparency...
