hands of Zemroy Zimma
Lewis, a member of our
own South Florida Reggae

talented musicians play
both locally and internationally,
sometimes along
side other internationally
well known artists around
the world. This creates the
best position for this
niche spot.
This only means that Patrick
is still blessing us.
This popular talented diverse
band will bring with

, as well as a
great happening spot
based in the community.

Kanye West made a fool out of
himself at the 2009 VMA Awards
show when he took the microphone
from Taylor Swift as she
accepted the award for Best Female
Video. Of the Year. He
spoke his mind in support of Beyonce
being the actual winner in
his mind. Little did he know that
the same industry behind Taylor
Swift was the same industry riding
on Beyonce’s coat tail to stardom.
This is an actual example of how
marketing works.
Kanye injecting himself into the
spotlight drew hate from Taylor’s
fans and supporters. He had in actuality
managed to confusingly
amplify himself among the people
who were in line with what he was
saying. At the same time, they
themselves didn't quite get it either.
In the end, he had propelled
Taylor’s career, while stabilizing
his own.
The publicity game is a beast. All
publicity is not good for a person
like Kanye who strives on attention.
His morality was staunchly
called into question. The incredible
amount of backlash he had to face
came from all types of media outlets
including tv, radio, as well as
fans on social media, etc.
Years later, Kanye and Taylor
have reconciled their differences.
He now promotes spiritual healing
through God and the church. His
widely publicized Sunday services
are a huge hit with his family,
friends, and fans. Among them are
the “A “ List celebrities that show
up tfrom time to time. They congregate
and sing hymns with Kanyes’
own amazing personal choir.
Now consider this, is Kanye practicing
his morality or using it to
publicize himself?

On John Legends’ early road to stardom he
would steadfastly write and play small gigs where
he could,. Since 1998 he had been trying to get a
record deal. One day his college roommate said,
“you should meet my cousin, Kanye. He writes
for those guys at Roc-A-Fella Records”. The rest
as say was history, a long and rather successful
one at that. Kanye and John immediately started
collaborating, with Kanye producing the beats
and John writing the lyrics. A match that proved
to propel them both into fame and fortune. Kanye
being signed to Roc-A-Fella and in the process
helping John get signed to Columbia Records in
May 2004.
Fast forward to 2018’s politically charged climate
with our bombastic Republican President Donald
Trump. Kanye spoke out on his views in support
of Trump and damagingly scorned himself in
public view. Many fans and supporters of his antics
over the years were totally lost on Kanye’s
point of view this time. This animosity spurned
hatred not just for Ye, but reached his wife Kim
and any family or friends at his side. Most distanced
themselves, which brings us back to John.
In December 2018 issue of Vantiy Fair it seemed
John was doing just that. The media understanding
John and his wife Chrissy Tiegen are anti-
Trump, with Chrissy even having twitter fights
with the president at times. As well Kim Kardashian
and Chrissy are close friends. So right
away the media perpetuated this animosity assuming
John and Kanye to be at odds. Thankfully,
John is open with his life and ready to
speak for himself and his family, stating that although
they didn’t agree politically, he loved his
friend. John couldn’t imagine but greatly sympathized
with his Kanyes’ struggle upon losing his
beloved mother the late Dr. Donda C..West, an
English professor at Atlanta Clark College.
Kanye West and his wife Kim Kardashian have
since allowed us into his ongoing pursuit of mental
health and wellness. They are currently working
on healing themselves, each other and the
world, one Sunday at a time.

To put it simply, it takes a K to keep a K
This loving couple dated multiple partners
in the past only to discover each others
lasting love. It’s like two souls who were
just made for each other ...
It is really a good thing when a man finds
his wife. He is actually receiving a gift
from God. Everyone can tell that husband
Kanye West is in love with his wife Kim
Kardashian. They are both strong family
oriented people and would do anything to
protect their family.
Kim found her partner and has found closure
in her love life. The couple continue
to be themselves, as well as there for each
other. They are both super rich and successful
at the same time raising a loving
family.
Mom and Dad are truly blessed and not
afraid thank their God for all that he has
giving them. Both through their hard work
and dedication, they manage to supersede
the critics.

The Jamaican Gov. has
passed a Bill in Parliament to
close all bank accounts that
people have not accessed in
the last 2-5 years. They are
also charging a monthly fee
on all these accounts too, so
in time too when you go to
withdraw any money you had
there, they tell you that the
account is closed because of
fee overrun. So if friends,
family members etc has
money in banks in Jamaica,
advise them to close their
accounts. The Government
has become the biggest of
scammers. By next year, all
these accounts will be closed
& the Government will
pocket their money. So in a
few months, they will find
that they have no money in
Jamaica. Make your friends
pass this on, as their mother,
father etc may have money in
Jamaica. They make it difficult
for people to draw their
money also, so they should
be prepared for this. Fitz A.
Jackson, one Member of Parliament
of the Opposition,
has been fighting against this
Bill but he was defeated. He
says if anyone has difficulty
in getting their money, they
are advised to contact him for
help. To show the level ofcorruption
- the Banks have
made no contacts with customers
with regards to their
intentions to close these accounts
or the monthly
charges they are now accumulating.
The Government
has not questioned this at all.
So greedy they are to confiscate
your hard earned money.
Note that your money is not
safe in any bank in Jamaica.
With all the Diaspora meetings
with Government members,
have ever informed of
this decision by the Government
who is in full support of
this level of scamming by the
bank? The Government will
take the lump sump at the end
of 5-7 years, while the banks
takes monthly charges.

HE EXPLAIN IN HIS OWN WORDS………...
The one thing that keeps me going is, I'm not afraid to innovate and
initiate on any new ideas that make sense, like when I started this
magazine me and my woman that I know for thirty years living in a one
bedroom rental and only have one fish one tin of milk two pounds of
corn meal, left as food and I don't know where the next meal coming
from, she has just lost her telemarketing job so I had to carry all the burden
that comes with your other half not working.
This was no problem cause your woman is your responsibility, but what
shook me most is the graphics skills I developed. Because she was not
working and I needed to save money, I took on a new skill. I had always
outsourced my graphics jobs that I got from my customers. This time, I
had to learn how I can keep the funds in house.
By this, jobs from my customers slowed down. I sat in my office waiting
to get a call from any client in regards to a poster a
flyer...something. I remembered an idea that I had about creating a
magazine to report on black owned businesses worldwide and black
entrepreneurs. I chose a picture of Burning Spear and created a front
page. I remember I took it to her and very proudly showed her. She
look at it looked at me and said “you are all over the place you need to
go get a job! “What the hell is this foolishness? you need to go get a
job!!!”
I laughed and excused myself from the room, because she just insulted
me without even knowing. I have not being employed for over thirty
years. Why do you think its time for me to do that and give up my freedom.
I laughed my ass off all the way to my office.
As soon as I sat down at my desk , I heard a knock . I quickly answered
come in, and it was Mr. Nigel Reid from next door. “Say Mr. Guzigar,
I would like some graphics done.” While he was showing me what he
wanted, his eyes caught the cover on my desk of B.O.B Magazine.
Nigel then shouted at me, “who is this? I know him!” I replied, “it’s Sir
Winston Rodney a.k.a. the Burning Spear. “What's this for?” he asked.
I told him that I'm producing a magazine called Bob, coming out next
month.
He then stated, “I need a quarter page. How much? I said $40. Nigel
said, “how much is a half page?” I stated, “$60”. He finally asked, “how
much is a full page?” And I said, “$100 early bird special.” Nigel
quickly exclaimed, “give me a full page!” He then left to his office and
immediately returned with a $100 bill.
I couldn't wait for him, to get out so I could bring the $100 I just received
from him, to my woman. She obviously didn't believe in my
initiative. I quickly ran to my old car, went straight home, handed her
the hundred and said now you can go grocery shopping at Wal-Mart.
She said, “what you did?” I said, “B.O.B Magazine is born.” She
smiled, not victorious, but like wow. I observed that because she is the
kind of woman who likes to be right all the time, if she was wrong, she
will sabotage the idea just to say she was right.
She helped with the editing for a while and I would go on with the layout
and story, until she wondered off in life to do her. Now I’m here
working on my next Album at the Hit Factory studios in Miami. The
thing is you must always have a goal to accomplish and you will find
inner peace and happiness while reaching for them.. 31
EVEN WHEN NO ONE BELIEVES IN YOU, BELIEVE IN YOUR-
SELF...DISPITE WHAT THEY PUT YOU THROUGH
