Gong Royal to shoot "This Is So Wrong" video in JA

Gong Royal

Buoyed by the positive response of music industry critics to his current single, ‘This Is So Wrong’, talented US-based singjay, Gong Royal, is going full speed ahead with the making of the music video, which will be shot in Jamaica.

This Is So Wrong, which is in fact a love song, can be described as the ultimate cheaters’ anthem with an exciting twist. Gong Royal, real name is Keegan King, teamed up with hit-making label, Notice production, to infuse the perfect flair and balance in the song.

Of the single, Gong Royal, who is managed by Marshall Entertainment, noted that it was ‘just reality’. He added that this kind of “love quadrangle is more common than we think”.

“Many of us have either been involved in or know of a situation in which both cheaters are friends with the spouses of the person with whom they are cheating. So it makes the situation more potentially explosive and heightens the need for secrecy,” he said, adding that his own experience led him to write the lyrics for this song.

The single has been garnering quite a bit of love on radio in Jamaica, Virginia and other places in the US, as well as Toronto, Canada, where the artiste has been making inroads with a mini media blitz. This Is So Wrong is now available for download on iTunes.

Born in St Mary, Gong Royal has always been passionate about music especially dancehall and it is no surprise that his fascination began as early as childhood where he started a music group along with several of his friends. As his popularity developed, Gong set his sights on seriously taking his talent to the studio and beyond.

The event is the seventh on the card and is set to go to post at approximately 3:35 pm, with first post at 12:20 pm.Following a half-hearted performance in the Jamaica St Leger, Royal Vibes returned to non-winners of two in his next race.Trained by Wayne DaCosta for owner Carlton Watson, Royal Vibes, a bay colt by Natural Selection out of November Lace (Peaks And Valleys) bred by YS (1955) Ltd now pitted against much the same company as on last, has as good a chance to continue the winning form. Dick Cardenas, who was aboard Royal Vibes on his most recent win, will again ride.In a race of predominantly local breds, the imported bay colt Admiral Snow, trained by George Moo-Young for owner Patrick Salmon, who beat Rum Punch, the stablemate of Royal Vibes some three weeks ago over today’s trip, looks to be the main danger to a Royal Vibes victory.Jockey Richard Mitchell, who piloted the American to his maiden win on local soil from three starts is recalled in place of Omar Walker.Ones To WatchRace 1 Golden Bullet (Shane Ellis)Race 2 Miracle Speed (Milton Powell)Race 3 D’ Angel (Dane Nelson)Race 4 Grande Marque (Orlando Foster)Race 5 Tropicaldepression (Shane Ellis)Race 6 Step It Up (Richard Mairs)Race 7 Royal Vibes (Dick Cardenas)Race 8 Mikenificent (Richard Mairs)Race 9 Reign Of Deftiny (Dane Nelson)Race 10 Best Flyer (Vijay Ashley)Race 11 Man Alive (Dane Nelson)Royal Vibes, under Dane Nelson, scoring his maiden win last year ahead of Numero Uno.

Man jailed for Royal Marine death

29 July 2013 Last updated at 09:04 ET Wesley Clutterbuck became a Royal Marine in 2012 A 20-year-old man who killed a Royal Marine with one punch has been jailed for four years.

Wesley Clutterbuck, 19, hit his head on the ground after the attack in Fleece Street, Rochdale, on 30 June. He died in hospital the following day.

Reece Kay, of Waithlands Road, Rochdale, admitted manslaughter at a hearing on 4 July at Manchester Crown Court.

He will serve the sentence at a young offender institution.

Elizabeth Reed, Branch Crown Prosecutor said: “A young man, who was loyally serving our country, has lost his life in this senseless and unprovoked attack which clearly demonstrates the cost of just one punch.

“Kay ran towards the victim, who was a complete stranger to him, with a clenched fist and punched him once to the head causing him to fall over and hit his head on the pavement.

“He then turned and ran from the scene showing complete disregard to the harm he had caused.

“Nevertheless, he later admitted the crime and as a result we have been able to bring him to justice promptly, less than a month after the incident took place.”
