  4. Five reggae jams that blow away Snoop Lion's new 'No Guns Allowed'

    On Wednesday morning, the artist also known as Snoop Dogg unveiled the newest work under his reggae pseudonym, Snoop Lion. The rapper from Long Beach announced last year that he’d decided on both a new name and style of music he’d be making for the foreseeable future, and was working on a documentary,  "Reincarnated," about his shift toward righteous reggae positivity. Snoop Lion started wearing Jamaica’s national colors of yellow, red and green -- and started referring to his herb of choice as "ganja" instead of "chronic."

And this time he's changed his sound too: Next month, Snoop Lion is to release a full-on reggae album called "Reincarnated," the product of an extended trip he and his crew took last year to Jamaica.

  6. Review: 'Better Mus' Come' ties Cold War to Jamaica gang war

    Ricky (Sheldon Shepherd), the hero of Storm Saulter's ambitious coming-of-age drama "Better Mus' Come," is a man for all seasons. Gangster, community leader, part-time poet, full-time dad, Ricky negotiates the dangerous complexities of the culture of violence inflaming Jamaica in the late '70s, uncertain what path he should take.
