When Reggae star Gyptian recorded his breakout single,
Serious Times in 2004, Jamaica teetered on the brink of total anarchy as blazing guns obliterated 1400 lives that year.
The track, which was inspired by the island’s growing crime problem at the time, topped local and international reggae charts and was even declared the Song of the Year. Seventeen years after its initial release, its producer Kenneth ‘Spragga’ Wilson believes that the song’s message is still relevant today.

The Daily Herald
One question that s remains on many people s minds is, When is the West 7th Street project ever going to be
really finished?
The city finally got its answer this week, at least regarding why the project seems to have taken much longer than originally anticipated.
Project director Wayne DeMoss visited Columbia City Council last week, where he said the main reason for recent delays has been due to utility work, which still requires completion by AT&T and Charter. This was work, he said, that was expected to be finished last year, and something that is out of my control when it comes to how and when it will happen.
The smell of broth and cooked meats pour out of the kitchen at Douglass Boulevard Christian Church in Louisville s Highlands neighborhood.
Following the aroma, volunteers with Feed Louisville, a local mutual aid organization that provides meals and supplies to Louisville s homeless population, move in and out of the cookery hands full.
In the corner of the kitchen, Rhona Kamar, co-founder of Feed Louisville and chef of 27 years, stands with the refrigerator door open giving marching orders to a couple of volunteers helping her prepare meals for tonight’s drop-off.
It’s roughly 4 p.m. and the winter day has been kind to the city thus far 52-degrees in mid-January after several 30-degree nights and the occasional snow dusting.
