Dancehall/reggae singer Tessanne Chin is said to be on ‘cloud nine’ today, as her boyfriend – former television presenter, Michael Anthony Cuffe Jr. – reportedly popped the question yesterday, and asked for her hand in marriage during a large family gathering at the home of her sister, Tami Chynn. A teary-eyed Tessanne reportedly said yes, and the couple were cheered on by the many family members on hand, which included both sets of parents. No details forthcoming on a wedding date as yet!

The escalating widespread crime and violence in Jamaica, as well as the security forces’ brute force efforts to stamp out criminal elements in parts of Kingston, has seemingly prompted the ‘Grung Gaad’ – Bounty Killer – to speak out. Just yesterday, he spoke his mind via a Blackberry Messenger broadcast, and we’ve featured it below (with minimal edits):

“Jamaica me a warn unuh again. Unemployment, Uneducated, Unattended to, broken Homes, single Parents, Motherless, Fatherless, no Role Model or good Mentor to Emulate, no youth centers, no work shops, no sports or musical activities, no nutten in the garrisons or ghettos; then there is the guns, the drugs, the dons with the money, the violence, the crime, the peer pressure, if u not bussing it up u are a fool; and all these conditions – politicians created the dons instead has to go house to house or individually to persons him get the dons who choose who and who get a thing less headache 4 him but the dons strength is in the youths so what we must do is to start focus on the youths raging age eight to twelve get them in youth programs, educational programs, sports and muzik programs; as well as kill out all criminals from now on; yes the youths are the future and unuh leave them up to the dons to tend to and care 4 that’s why they are ready to die 4 the dons; let us be the dons and help the youths; why u think I been doing it, helping youths over years and still doing it; the devil finds favor in idle hands and how many idle hands we have in this country come on now don’t just kill out thugs but also kills out what causes youths to fall on the thug path; stop cure, let’s prevent. GRUNG GAAD A TALK JAMAICA WE TIRED!!”

It’s a long journey, and apparently a mighty long way to go for dancehall/reggae deejay Buju Banton, who has been jailed in the U.S. since his arrest on Federal drug charges in Florida in December, 2009.

A federal judge has once again changed the trial date for Banton’s trial, this time without giving a reason. Banton’s trial was originally scheduled to begin on April 19, but 11 days before the trial was set to start, it was moved to June 21. And today, it was announced that the case has now been moved to the September trial calendar. The actual trial date will reportedly be set at a status conference in August.

As he did in April, Banton’s attorney – David Oscar Markus – has filed an objection, saying the change violates the federal Speedy Trial Act. This law requires that a criminal defendant’s trial start within 70 days of him being charged or makes an initial appearance, whichever is later. Markus has also cited the cost of rearranging travel plans for its witnesses. It is not immediately clear if this objection was denied or if it will be heard soon.
