I imagine all yous sitting at home thinking, christ, if only there was a space where I could get fit and look like a G at the same time, cos hell those usual aerobics moves are a little tedious and call for some stomping house music (if you're lucky). Well, if you haven't already discovered it and been practising the 'elbow dem' dance for a while, lock on to the 'energy god' that is Elephant Ma...

When I spoke with Elephant Man last week, he hinted at 2 new tunes he recorded recently. "Nuh Linga" and "Calm Dem Down" are so fresh, they aren't even on his brand new album! "Nuh Linga" - like many of Ele's tunes - also names a dance step that's big inna di dancehall parties in Jamaica. I had no trouble finding both the audio and the dance on youTube:Audio for "Nuh Linga" - new tune from E...

Diddy signed Elephant Man to release this album on Bad Boy Records over a year ago, but the release date was delayed a few times. It's finally here and it's pure FIYAH! As the title and album cover suggest, the music is super-active and upbeat: the ideal soundtrack for an aerobics workout, dancehall-style. In fact, Elephant Man fully embraced this theme with a series of workout videos releas...

Elephant Man - notorious as being the most brash and eclectic of all dancehall artists - brought pure FIRE to NYC's On Da Reggae Tip concert this year. To an audience well versed in dancehall culture, from its dance moves and its "slackness" (sexual inuendo) to its high value of family and society, Elephant Man performed a coming-of-age ritual for RnB singer Chris Brown. Even though he just t...

It's been awhile since I reported that Elephant Man has a new tune called "Nuh Linga." It's not on his new album Let's Get Physical; Ele told me about the tune when we spoke in March. Today he sent out the link to a new video for "Nuh Linga" and, naturally, it shows how to Nuh Linga on di dancefloor!ElephantMan-NuhLingaEle is looking dapper in argyle and blingin chains. I love these dance vi...

Next time your in your fave local dancehall, you'll know just what to do when the deejay calls out "Fan Dem Off," "Skoobay," "Willie Bounce" or "...

I've always liked Elephant Man. His style is bold and totally unique while his music is upbeat and fun. He is part gangsta rapper and part dancehall raver. His roots in the dancehall community run deep and as such, his music is full of commentary on the current situation in Jamaica and the Jamaican community living in NYC. Ele is also a big promoter of the different dancehall dances, the mo...

Elephant Man may be a rude boy, but he sure knows the right ladies to work with. He recently recorded the NYC-dancehall song "Whine Up" with Kat DeLuna, he recently added his remix of Rhianna's "Umbrella" to his music$pace page, and he worked with Rhianna on his own upcoming album Let's Get Physical. The album will be released on Combs' Bad Boy Entertainment label on November 2nd. But, of co...

Elephant Man - Worst I ever Had 2009Man, if John Merrick had said such things to Anne Bancroft my favorite David Lynch film would make me even sadder. From the Kingston Elephant Man's mouth however they are pretty entertaining. Unfortunately he didn't toast over the whole thing, so his vocals are spliced between the original semi-grating Drake verses. I listen to a fair amount of R&B joints...
