    They call New York the city that never sleeps, but they lie. Kingston JA is the town that really gets it popping 24/7-48/14. Less than 24 hours after Spice brought a donkey (dressed in a wig and leg warmers with tags attached) on the stage at Sting, Macka Diamond has cut a tune that speaks on the whole donkey issue and turns the war up a notch.

    At 6:30 this morning Macka dropped by Boomshots JA HQ to drop off the tune and have a little reasoning with The ReggaeGirlAboutTown about what really happened with her no-show at Sting and why she says the war is just beginning. Stay tuned for the interview going live in the next few hours. You don’t want to sleep on this one . Audio After The Jump…
