Contributor : Shamari] Embattled Dancehall/Reggae superstar, Mark Myrie, more popularly known as Buju Banton may have a lifeline after all following the revelation on Tuesday that a United States government mishap could trigger the dismissal of his case. According to media reports, Buju Banton could walk free from his conviction and subsequent ten year sentence on drug-related charges after the discovery that the U.S. government may have violated the Speedy Trial Act. The act states that any defendant involved within a case must be brought to trial by the government within a 70 day window; a right guaranteed under the Sixth Amendment in the American constitution. Additionally, said right is generally afforded to defendants so that they not subjected to unreasonably lengthy incarceration prior to a fair trial. Buju Banton's first trial took place in September 2010, nine months after his initial arrest by law enforcement officials in Florida and four months after Judge James Moody pushed back Buju's initial court date without giving any specifics regarding why the case was postponed. His second trial, where he was later convicted, took place in February of this year, four months after he was granted bail in the case. The U.S Supreme Court has developed a four part test considering length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the defendant's assertion of his right to a speedy trial, and the prejudice to the defendant in judging speedy trial claims. Any violations of the Speedy Trial Act could spark the dismissal of a criminal case given the state's inability to bring the case to trial within a reasonable amount of time. Buju Banton's legal team filed an appeal last week in a Georgia appeals court, citing violation of said act whilst intimating that the prominent Reggae singjay was not a willing participant in any drug conspiracy. Buju Banton was sentenced to ten years in prison this past February on three drug-related charges stemming from a December 2009 incident where he allegedly conspired to organize a drug deal within a police controlled warehouse.

Promo DL Link : Vybz Kartel - Half on a Baby (Schlachthofbronx remix) Munich is more then Oktoberfest and - musically speakin - "Giorgio Moroder" Disco music. Few people know that the capital of Bavaria is not only a hot spot for beer but also for BASS music. Over the last few years the Munich scene development was quite healthy, with the two guys from Schlachthofbronx getting the most exposure, playing raves with the big names of the Global Bass scene, like Buraka Som Sistema, Major Lazer, etc... After an earlier blog buzz and due to the great media feedback on the launch of their selftitled full length debut-album (on Disko B) they toured all over Europe and even represented their airhorn-heavy sound in Southafrica in 2009. The album features guest singers from Costa Rica and Mali, joint work with brassbands from Bavaria, rappers from Southafrica as well as a ghettotek-collabo with german MC Ron Foto. A lil after that Berlin based tropical bass label Man Recordings released two Schlachthofbronx EPs, including their smasher „Ayoba“ with South African superstar-MC Spoek Mathambo and new swedish riot grrrl Gnucci Banana on vocal duties in 2010. With their album and the EPs (as well as countless hi-profile remixes, see list below) under their belt they played almost all important festivals across Europe - like Lowlands, Roskilde, Eurokennes, Frequency, Dour or Melt. They left crowd after crowd with happy sweaty smiles after a powerpack of schlachthofbronx´ takes on Rave, Dancehall, Dubstep, Baile Funk, Bounce, Cumbia, soca and Traditional bavarian music – always custom made and targeted on maximal dancefloor impact. After a busy years end of 2010, including being asked to support grammy/oscar-nominated pop princess M.I.A. on her Eurotour the guys from Schlachthofbronx are set to go even bigger in 2012, with strong new releases fuelling their constant touring through all clubs that are ready for some serious bass, sirens n airhorns -and which can spell their name correctly! you may also like :The deadline for the prosecution to hand over video and audio evidence in the case against Vybz Kartel looms large today. Last year, a judge had ordered that all evidence be turned over to the defence team by January 4th, 2012. Kartel will celebrate his 36th birthday on January 7th this weekend but he will do so behind bars. The deejay and Gaza Slim will next appear in court on January 9th to answer to various charges stemming from an alleged attempt to interfere with an ongoing murder investigation of Clive ‘Lizard’ Williams. Vanessa ‘Gaza Slim’ Saddler, the Portmore Empire member who is jointly charged with Kartel, faces charges such as conspiracy and attempting to pervert the course of justice. On this charge, it is being alleged that texts were sent to Saddler, causing her to make a report to the Constant Spring police that she had been robbed by Williams. The prosecution is contending that the report was made in order to give the impression that Williams was not dead.
