Representative Yekeh Kolubah On 20th February, Rep. Yekeh Kolubah accused Speaker Bhofal Chambers of undermining his concerns and using his authority to suppress the Montserrado County District #10 Rep.  During an interview on "50-50", a local talk show hosted on Sky FM, Rep. Kolubah today his audience that  his concerns are not getting necessary attention, which deny him from fully representing his district. According to Kolubah, Speaker Chambers agenda of the House doesn't includes any of his concerns and the Speaker also refuses to recognize him when he has a point to make in session. He believes that the lack of respect for the House from members of the public results from the way the House is being conducted by Speaker Chambers. He cautions that Liberians will hold lawmakers responsible for not proceeding the right way and for their failure to tell the president where he is going wrong. The Montserrado Rep. threatens to apply his legal authority sinc...

Bucky Raw Bucky Raw, who was once a hip hop rapper, didn't make a name within the Liberian community until he was featured in the Liberian Entertainment Awards   Cypher few years ago. The artist gave a jaw-dropping performance, rapping in his local Liberian dialect, that drove everyone wild. Since then, his popularity has grown at home and abroad. But, with the fame came along some challenges for the young artist. Over the years, the artist has stepped on many toes, including some key players of the industry. In a post on twitter, bucky raw expressed his inner feelings about the industry.    “The industry wants me to pack my load I jeh arriving. Y’all not see nothing yet .” Are folks hating on Bucky because of Jealously or because of his ego and unpleasant interaction with the industry players? What do you think? 

Bucky Raw In the Liberian Entertainment Industry, when the higher-ups speak on being humble and respectful, the first respond you receive from most entertainers is "I don't kiss ass." A comment that has been used by Bucky team over the years. Is this phrase limited to just the Liberian Entertainment Industry? Looking at these text messages between Bucky's team and Don Jazzy, it is contradicting from what we have been told. It sure do look like ass kissing. Don't get me wrong, being humble and respectful, especially when you need someone to dedicate their time to you, is highly encouraged. What is not acceptable, is for Liberian entertainers to be so disrespectful and rude to their own people within the industry, but willing to kneel down to foreigners. Check out these screen shots and give us your input.

Liberian artist DenG Honor is just as important to give as constructive criticism.  Before writing about some of the mistakes DenG made during his career, let me give him his flowers.  DenG is an amazing singer and also, an amazing songwriter. I wish someday, he will get awarded for his songwriting talent.  Unfortunately, this article is about some of his weaknesses.  Many famous people use social media as a platform to do good and to use their voices to create positive change, but some don't. From making problematic statements to trying to get attention, some demonstrate a complete lack of self-awareness.

Within the last year or two, things started to go down hill, as his fame grew.  Check out few mistakes DenG made online during the course of his career.  1.

Below is a list of the top 5 artists who have risen to the top of the Hipco genre over the years.

Democrat lawmakers, Jack Reed and David Cicilline of Rhode Island have reintroduced the Liberian Refugee Immigration Fairness Act, which aims to allow eligible Liberians to apply for permanent residency and provide them with a pathway to citizenship. The purpose of the bill is to prevent Liberians, whose temporary status in the US will soon expire, avoid deportation. According to these lawmakers, “Many Liberians came to America to escape violence, instability, and disease and are now pillars of our communities.  They are making important economic and civic contributions and should be allowed to stay,”. “Some who were brought here as children have grown up and now have children of their own who are U.S. citizens.  Instead of splitting up families and deporting them to a far off land where they no longer have a home, these folks should have the opportunity to stay, play by the rules, and get on a pathway to citizenship.” Reed, who introduced the Act in 1999 a...

Bucky Raw "If you win an award in Liberia Industry, your price stays the same, if you even had one to begin with." Research shows that artists don't earn cash prizes alongside their pretty new trophies like athletes get for taking home the top spot at professional sporting events. But that doesn't mean awards ceremonies like the Grammys, the Oscars, the Emmys, and others are a complete waste of time. Most people watch awards shows to see their favorite recording artists take home top prizes, like the coveted Album of the Year. But the people who mostly benefit from winning at the Grammys are the ones whose names you’ve never heard of.  Songwriters, producers, and other behind-the-scenes roles often enjoy the best benefits from Grammy wins. Those awards are more of a big deal for them. And it doesn't matter what they won for, winning a Grammy opens all kinds of doors. It's a huge accomplishment.  Winning a Grammy doesn't mean you'll win mone...
