Natalie Storm has kept a low profile this year but our Punany Monologues columnist recently sat down with MTV Iggy and gave her first interview in some time. Among other topics, writer Beverly Bryan asked her about her punanilogue hustle. Here’s what she had to say:

For his new Loudspeaker riddim, Dre Skull of Mixpak Records and Vybz Kartel’s Kingston Story fame has connected with none other than the reigning Groovy and Power Soca monarch, Machel Montano. While Machel has been known to step out of his high-BPM soca comfort zone on occasion, you’ve never heard him on a pure dancehall riddim quite like this before. This one is definitely gonna make both the gyuls and gyals go dung this summer, in what we expect will be a sexy show of Trini-JA dancefloor solidarity. Stream “Go Down” below, preview the rest of the tunes here, and look out for the full riddim release, also featuring Beenie Man, Popcaan and Natalie Storm, here on May 22.

Dre Skull and Mixpak Records have an excellent new riddim called Loudspeaker on the way May 22, and they’ve just released this clip hosted by our bredrin Walshy Fire as a preview of what’s in store. The ethereal riddim itself has nuff vibes, and the release has some of our favorite artists: Popcaan, Beenie Man, Machel Montano and our very own Punany Monologues columnist Natalie Storm. Feel like there’s a summer anthem in there somewhere but can’t quite call which it is yet. Which one do you think will buss?

One of our favorite record labels Truckback Records has been claiming to have in its possession a sex tape involving some major dancehall stars. Natalie Storm, Lady Saw, Mr. Lexx and Dejavu and have all taken to social networks to comment on allegations they may be featured on the tape, and the Jamaica Star even reported on the phenomenon, suggesting that talk of the tape may in fact be hype for, well, something else. A video trailer recently posted to YouTube was taken down after a user reported its content but now you can see it here, exclusively on LargeUp. Watch the trailer below, and stay tuned to LargeUp for more news about the alleged “Sexxx Tape.” We’ve gotten our own exclusive preview of it and trust us, it’s something you’re going to want to be up on when it finally emerges.

Natalie Storm isn’t just our sex columnist (New Punanilogue out today! Read up on all the rest of them here!), she’s also one of our favorite dancehall artists. Far from your typical female deejay, Nat has her own sassy, electro-influenced spin on Jamaican music that she calls electrofied garrison dancehall. In an era when many dancehall acts are willing to compromise their brand to jump on any trend they can hitch themselves to, Natalie’s distinctive aesthetic comes through in every single thing she does. Exhbit A: “Hotta.” Produced by Ward 21, the accurately titled tune was first featured as a premix on her Federation Sound-helmed 2010 mixtape, Songs 2 F@#k & Fight 2, and released as a single earlier this year. The video, directed by Roli Brown, depicts Natalie in a typically colorful light, as she sets what must be a record for most costume changes in a dancehall video (For the record, we’re partial to the pinstripe jacket-and-black-stockings look). Hotter than she yuh can’t find. Gees and peas!
