While addressing reasons for choosing WTB, States Julian Mavado's Manager, "a lot of labels and situations have been coming at me with offers and I listened to everyone but to us partnering up with Khaled and We The Best Music just made the most sense. He's familiar with the music and culture, Jamaican music played a big part in Khaled's journey to success and he acknowledges that too. Khaled used to be in Jamaica all the time, he had a record on Bounty's last album, we've had records on his albums, we been friends for years. Since Khaled blew up and got his own situation he's been talking to me about signing Gully God ever since. Nothing happens before time so everything lined up at the right time and we finally made it happen."
With past collaborations with artist such as Jay-Z and Wyclef Jean, Mavado is looking forward to working with some of the worlds most established musical acts as well as producers. Through this deal with Khaled he will have an unlimited access to the best of everything including radio. Undeniably Khaled has an ear for talent and hit music which Mavado wants to incorporate in his newly inspired music. One of Khaled's achievements include 2010 hit "All I Do is Win," with T-Pain, Ludacris, Rick Ross and Snoop. This single even achieved heightened success through a remix with Sean "Diddy" Combs, Nicki Minaj, Jada Kiss, Fat Joe and Fabolous. Recently this year Khaled has released the smash single "I'm On One" featuring Drake, Rick Ross and Lil Wayne which has become a street anthem for all.
Recently the Gully God has recorded a street banger featuring fellow WTB artist rapper Ace Hood called "Emergency." Thursday night DJ Funkmaster Flex premiered the record on HOT 97 to positive reviews from people across the entire tri-state area. While a single sure to rise to the charts and a new music family in his corner Mavado is on the continued road to musical success. With his growth as an artist he will never forget his heritage and undoubtedly will bring Jamaica's presence with him wherever he goes.

Beenie sad over divorce from D'Angel - YardFlex.com
Internationally acclaimed Dancehall artiste, Moses "Beenie Man" Davis has gone into greater detail regarding his separation from his wife of 5 years,Michelle "D'A
ngel" Downer; implying that he is heartbroken by their recent marital issues.
Beenie Man told TVJ's EMix that he initially intended to divorce D'Angellast year but the couple constantly resolved their issues and ended up back together. However, the "King of the Dancehall" intimated that D'Angel's decision not to appear at his birthday party almost two weeks ago was the last straw; made worse by the fact D'Angel went to former rival, Bounty Killer's birthday party earlier this summer.
"Regardless a if mi and her have a divorce agreement to deal wid, I think she shudda still come a my birthday because mi is her husband and me is Marco Dean father, so why should you call me and tell me pon my phone seh yuh a go to Bounty Killer birthday party, when Bounty Killer disrespect you so much in the media and call yuh di worst tings," Beenie said. Bounty Killer, formerly was in a relationship with D'Angel, engaged in a lyrical battle with Beenie Man regarding the "Blaze" singer in 2006.
Given that factor, Beenie suggested that he could no longer take the emotional toll their issues had on him; asking D'Angel to send the divorce papers that would finally put an end to their rollercoaster marriage. "Mi jus' decide seh, Please mi a beg yuh, jus' finish mi heartache and mi hurt, just please mi a beg yuh, jus' sen di divorce papers," Beenie stated. D'Angelsent the divorce papers two days later and released a statement clarifying that she sent them and that they could no longer co-exist as a couple.
Despite their constant arguments Beenie explained that he and D'Angel tried several times to put their differences aside but now he implores it's time to sever ties for good. "With all due respect, mi love and respect mi wife but love and respect don't really cut it when di person don't gi yuh back di same amount of love that you give them," Beenie said.
