THE dancehall has been a source of income for people from some of Jamaica's toughest communities for decades. Many women who rely on weekly dances for their bread and butter have been in limbo since the sector shut down in March due to COVID-19.

NEW YORK (AP) — Andre Harrell, the Uptown Records founder who shaped the sound of hip hop and R&B in the late 80s and 90s with acts such as Mary J Blige and Heavy D, and who also launched the career of mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, has died. He was 59.Diddy's REVOLT company confirmed the death Saturday but no other details were immediately available. Harrell was the vice chairman at REVOLT.

REACTION poured in following the death of rock 'n' roll pioneer Little Richard, who died yesterday at age 87.

A long-time resident of Trench Town, Donnette Dowe has seen the trials of urban life up-close and personal.
