Just when you think with everything going on in the US, the trend of the police brutality on African Americans would fade, right? Here’s why, once again, we are proven wrong. Sandra Bland, a 28 year old Chicago woman was found dead, hanging in her Texas jail cell on July 13th. But wait, let’s backtrack a bit. Bland was pulled over by state trooper, Brian Encina, on July 10th for failing to use a signal before changing lanes (sounds familiar?). Bland, obviously vex, began to…

PM Kamla: “I got 29 problems”

Aunty Kams strikes again. It seems that in order to participate in the Leaders’ Debate, PM Kamla Bissessar has made a couple….well actually, 29 demands that are apparently ‘non-negotiable’. One of them being that her team must approve of the comfort of the seats at the venue, seeing that she prefers to sit and will NOT stand..STEUPS.

Once again Band Launch season has fallen upon us. In other words, it is time for one of the most crucial decisions us masqueraders will have to make: Costume choice.
As much as we would all love to play in Frontline and own the road as a ‘Frontline diva’, there are only just so many costumes to go around. Annnnd just so much money that we can pelt out.
Now, props to all the FL divas out there who believe that Carnival is a sacred event and treat it with due reverence. But…there are the lesser known, not as glamourous, who make up the majority of the band.

Hail Mary

hiii

Either in the road, or in a party, we’ve all been hailed before. Whether we are the hailer or the hailee, it has become necessary at times to give a shoutout to our bredrins. While some of us are lazier to ever give a f_ck to call out our friends, others are more than excited on sight of their dear ones. Whichever you are, we are certain that you are familiar with all the different types of hail outs below. The Stoooosh Smooch This refers…

Which #tbt do you remember? Bmobile My Lime What you used to be doing at 9pm back in the day? Well, if you’re like the rest…

#Judge the #DontJudge?

If you have been scrolling through your Facebook or Twitter lately, yuh know, if you have nothing better to do (like us), you may have seen some #dontjudgechallenge videos. These typically short videos comprise of people making themselves unattractive usually by drawing on unibrows, feigning acne marks, marking their teeth, wearing glasses, etc. After this, they then magically transform into, well, a besssss person, generally to send the message that you should not judge a book by its cover. Now, these videos have been said…

Hey, Wassup, Hello?

Here at SCORCH, we all believe in bringing the vybz and welcoming anybody who has it with them full-time! Everyone knows that being with the same crew can at times get a bit boring, and sometimes meeting someone new can spice up the lime! On the other hand though, if you are a serial killjoy and need a little advice on how to stop being a home-body and get out there and make some new friends…we have you!

Watch Yuhself

Here at SCORCH, the words ‘party’, ‘lime’ and ‘drinks’ are no strangers to us. However, while we might always have these in mind to enjoy, we must remember that with great fun, comes great responsibility.

Some effects include uncontrollable sleepiness, nausea, slurred speech and…
