Belize elects first black Prime Minister, What does that have to do with Hip Hop?

Remember Me?

Over the weekend the country of Belize elected Dean Barrow as its first black prime minister. The small Central American nation nestled between Mexico and Guatemala elected Barrow over the incumbent Prime Minister Said Musa who was accused of the embezzlement scandals and financial mismanagement in recent years.

So you’re probably asking yourself why the hell I’m mentioning this, especially at a time when we’ve got our own electoral competition going on here. You’re probably also wondering that last name sounds familiar. It’s because the new Prime Minister Barrow is actually the father of the imprisoned Jamal “Shyne” Barrow. Shyne who was sentenced to ten years after he was convicted of weapons and assault charges stemming from a shootout at a New York club is expected, by some reports, to be released sometime this year. If he is, he’ll be going home to be part of the first family. Good Ish! Shout to Lyphe, loyal citizen of the Highbrid Nation since 2006.  He gave us a heads up on this one.
