Runkus aiming to break reggae’s limit barrier
Runkus has been a promising player in Jamaica’s music conversation since his debut trilogy album MOVE:IN, IN:SIDE and OUT:SIDE. But with his new album, SUPERNOVA, the artiste shows no interest in fitting inside any category at all.

Editorial | Guardrails for close-in-age law
The ongoing debate over a close-in-age exception to the Sexual Offences Act warrants open and honest discussions.
The public discourse for an issue that’s sensitive, involving children, consent, criminal justice and protection from abuse, has often drifted toward extremes. The narratives present the matter either as a weakening of child protection laws or as an uncomplicated correction to outdated legislation. Which it’s neither.
