queen-ifrica (Nov 27, 2007 5:18:55 PM)
Yes I write all my songs, and the inspiration behind "Daddy dont..." is simply the realty of incest and child molestation.
COLLEGE-YOUTH (Nov 27, 2007 5:19:19 PM)

Yes, we are talking about doing it, just a few days ago we spoke about that same thing.
queen-ifrica (Nov 27, 2007 5:23:46 PM)
Yes, most naturally because we grew up in the rastafarian community so it was natural for us to gravitate towards artistes like those.
queen-ifrica (Nov 27, 2007 5:24:21 PM)
Early next year March. We're looking for the second album to drop.
reggae54 (Nov 27, 2007 5:25:16 PM)

Kachar (Nov 27, 2007 5:28:11 PM)
QUEEN IFRICA BLESSINGS AND RESPECT.. GIVEN THAT YOU EXERT A CERTAIN DEGREE OF GUIDANCE AND ALSO COMMANDS RESPECT WITHIN THE JAMAICAN SOCIETY HAVE YOU ALREADY DONE SO OR DO YOU HAVE ANY TO PLANS TO WORK WITH THE JAMAICAN GOVT IN ATTEMPTING TO ELEVIATE THE CONTINUED SUFFERING OF THE GREATER PERCENTAGE OF THE JAMAICAN POPULATION, AND IF SO CAN YOU TOUCH BRIEFLY ON YOUR IDEAS IN THIS ASPECT
queen-ifrica (Nov 27, 2007 5:28:11 PM)
Well working with the Jamaican gov't. is not that easy. Who I want to work with are the people who are interested in their own self development. I think that is the best way to solve our problems, other than depending on the gov't.
bronxman13inch (Nov 27, 2007 5:28:43 PM)
ok i love you queen you are so cute an you just esey goin to me that what i see in you i love you

irie dawta (Nov 27, 2007 5:34:52 PM)
hello queen ifrica, good evening, what is your official website?
queen-ifrica (Nov 27, 2007 5:34:52 PM)
I dont have a website as yet, working on it. But for now you can either go to my myspace.com/queenifrica or the rebel salute website.
Kachar (Nov 27, 2007 5:36:23 PM)
QUEEN IFRICA CAN YOU GIVE YOUR AUDIENCE AN IDEA OF ANY OF THE SOCIO ECONOMIC ISSUES WITHIN THE JAMAICAN SOCIETY THAT IN YOUR OPINION REQUIRES THE GREATEST ATTENTION AND FOCUS OF THE JAMAICAN GOVT AS IT EMBARKS ON IT'S FIRST TERM IN OFFICE IN 18 YEARS
queen-ifrica (Nov 27, 2007 5:36:23 PM)
Yes the total elimination of garrison communities, just clearing all the slums, because a clean environment is good, so that our people can have somewhere good to live even with poverty.
queen-ifrica (Nov 27, 2007 5:36:34 PM)
bless up DVD man
queen-ifrica (Nov 27, 2007 5:37:30 PM)
I have one with Luciano already, a song about lovers, but definetly Sizzla and Fantan Mojah
frilly (Nov 27, 2007 5:40:01 PM)
knowing what happen in the past. What encouragement do u have to give to someone who have faced or still going through incest.
queen-ifrica (Nov 27, 2007 5:40:01 PM)
The question you asked is implying that I have been molested, fortunately for me that's not my reality. But it is definetly the reality of many around the world. My advice would be just lift yourself up, no matter what you go through in life as long as you put the almighty in everything you do he will find a way to help you through it.
bronxman13inch (Nov 27, 2007 5:40:56 PM)
queen where in jamaica you was born and whats age you star write your song
queen-ifrica (Nov 27, 2007 5:40:56 PM)
I was born in Sapnish Town and I started writing sinceIi started doing music seriously and that was in '98.
queen-ifrica (Nov 27, 2007 5:41:17 PM)
Yes I am a reggae singer.
da (Nov 27, 2007 5:41:38 PM)
any songs in the pipline with jah cure?
queen-ifrica (Nov 27, 2007 5:41:38 PM)
Yea man, it actually record already.
queen-ifrica (Nov 27, 2007 5:43:10 PM)
Well I heard about that but iI haven't seen any banning taking place, but for me if they banned it it would be good, to show the people that there are elements of society that dont want any good.
queen-ifrica (Nov 27, 2007 5:43:59 PM)
No I love to talk and I was always doing a lot of that in terms of community projects and stuff but singing makes it easier.
queen-ifrica (Nov 27, 2007 5:45:05 PM)
It depends on what you call makeup, because aside from the fact that I am a rastafarian, I am also a female.
COLLEGE-YOUTH (Nov 27, 2007 5:45:26 PM)

queen-ifrica (Nov 27, 2007 5:45:26 PM)
Give thanks, thank you.
Kachar (Nov 27, 2007 5:47:10 PM)
QUEEN IFRICA OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS A SPECIFIC SECTION OF THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY HAS SOUGHT TO IMPOSE IT'S OWN VERSION OF WHAT IT VIEWS AS ACCEPTABLE WITHIN THE MUSIC OF JAMAICAN ARTIST...DO YOU SUPPORT THE POSITON THAT JAMAICAN ARTIST LIKE ALL OTHER ARTIST MUST BE ALLOWED TO PRACTICE THEIR ART WITHOUT OVERLY RESTRICTIVE FOREIGN INTERVENTION
queen-ifrica (Nov 27, 2007 5:47:10 PM)
Yes I definetly think so. Mmusic should have no boundaries. If I do reggae in Jamaica and it makes someone feel good all the way in Europe, then it simply means that music should be facilitated as much as we can.
queen-ifrica (Nov 27, 2007 5:47:49 PM)
In 1995, when I performed at the memorial for Garnet Silk at reggae Sumfest.
Judge Dawg (Nov 27, 2007 5:48:11 PM)

Judge Dawg (Nov 27, 2007 5:51:07 PM)
I know that technology has replaced a lot of musicians ..but I am asking if you could get with your fellow artistes and try and get movement going where young people who have the desire can find a place learn to read music and write music..not lyrics..MUSIC..music is dying in Jamaica ..we need new 'RIDDIMS'
queen-ifrica (Nov 27, 2007 5:51:07 PM)
I totally agree with you and we are deffinetly looking to set up institutions not only for singing and learning how to sing but deffinetly the preservation of strings, and the melody, because music is dying for real, sly and robbie, and some other greats are still here and doing live riddims.
