Our friends 28 Stars & Co‘s newly launched spring line includes a very fresh, limited edition tee inspired by the city of Kingston, Jamaica. The Florida and UK-based lifestyle apparel brand enlisted our bredrin Walshy Fire of Major Lazer/Black Chiney fame as their spokesmodel for the wicked V-neck Kingston Cite tee, and we’re already seeing it all over town in Miami. Cop the shirt here, and enter discount code “LargeUp28″ for 15 percent off.

From the department of WTF: The Far East Rulers Mighty Crown were on the road in China, when they came across this headscratcher in a store—Irie toilet paper. You know, ’cause after doing your business on the throne you want a tissue that’s gonna have you feeling irie, right? Amusing, sure, but putting the Jamaican flag (really?) on the packaging puts this firmly in the category of shitty ideas.

If you followed dancehall in the mid and late ’90s, you should remember Alley Cat (a/k/a Imperial) as part of the Shocking Vibes camp. The prolific deejay also worked with Dave Kelly at Madhouse Records and recorded for Penthouse and Techniques, among other labels.

Born in St. Thomas, Jamaica, raised in Toronto and based between T-Dot and NYC, Melodic Yoza has a sound that takes equal parts from reggae, soul and hip-hop. Perhaps you’ve caught his tune “Ride On Natty,” which was featured on an episode of Jersey Shore recently.
