I was on my best behavior when I touched down in the country of Belize. Last thing I wanted to do was get deported with my Jamaican passport the first day I arrived. So I only took a few pictures when I was leaving.
A funny thing happened; our pilot discovered a technical difficulty with the plane navigation while we were on the tarmac waiting for 2 hours. They are to fly in 3 guys from Puerto Rico to fix it and we had to stay over night at a hotel and had all our connecting flights rescheduled/book. It was worst for people connecting to Canada. All paid for and organised by AA of course. The only good thing that came out of that day was that I got a first class trip back to Jamaica. All is well that ends well I guess.
Only a couple months left on my "Jamaica" passport
This sign was in the bathroom

I got lured into going to storage diving with my sister in Florida. As you walk through the hall of yellow doors the lights would pop on and off as if they were following you around.

A day at the drag races, cars go vooorm vooorm, pop pop. bang, bang fashion killa. Sun was blazing on the concrete. The smell of race gas in the air. Vernam Field, Clarendon, Jamaica.
Euro type R civic. It kinda grows on you after a while.

This year seemed to have a abnormal rush of excellent soca songs that kinda hit me like a run-away train. I'm gonna list them now;
Lyrikal - Cloud 9. This is probably the best written song of the bunch. Lyrikal stands up to his name with this song that practically rolls off the tongue. I dun high already, feel like I could fly already.
Farmer Nappy - My House. Farmer Nappy came in a close second with equally great lyrics and a nice video, vocals and a overall good vibe with that raw island accent that is hard to pick up when you only hang around Jamaicans all day. Its natural like a baby crying for the first time.
Benjai - Phenomenal. When I first saw this video I was like where in the world is this place? and how do I get there? Shot on location in St.Vincent and The Grenadines. He drops in a little EDM at the end of the track.
Shal Marshall - Motivation @shalmarshall
I don't need to say much about this video;
Machel Montano - Like Ah Boss. Is like Machel can do no wrong. Is fett I come out to fett.
Porgie & Murda - BenUp, Crash di bumpa pon mi and di bumpa gen ben Up. Aint got no license.
Bling - We Alright (Carriacou Soca 2015)
Honorable Mentions
Fadda Fox - Ducking ( @faddafox ) Techinically this was 2014 but I never hear dis until Jams posted it on fb and I was hooked right away.
Ricardo Drue - VagaBond
Destra - Lucy
Sekon Sta - The Best - Good song baaddd video :(
Conclusion
Too many songs to list but if you have the time I particularly liked the Kan Kan riddim. Enjoy until next year.
