For their latest Sevens Clash feature, Sean Stewart and Alexander Richter visited Stanley Couch Gym in Kingston.
They caught up with Sakima Mullings and Devon »Concrete« Moncrieffe, two popular fighters, as well as their promoters, Willie Yap and Christopher Brown to talk about the current resurgence of boxing in JA.
It’s a great time for boxing in Jamaica right now. [...] Contender was not the be all end all, so we’re thankful that this Mayhem series started after that also to keep us busy, keep us getting fights, building our record, mastering our skills, so that when we do get on the big stage, the international stage, we’ll be ready and we’re going to bring those belts and titles back to Jamaica.

Art in the Dancehall – the exhibition curated by Al Fingers and Suze Webb celebrating illustration and design in Jamaican music, from 1979 to the present day – recently hit Subliminal Projects in Los Angeles.
That meant that also some work from SEEN’s GABE was displayed at Shepard Fairey’s gallery and it means that if you are interested in in buying some of his prints or work from other Art in the Dancehall artists like Daniel David Freeman, Denzil “Sassafras” Naar, Ellen G., Jamaal Pete, Peter Edward, Robin Clare, Tony McDermott or Wilfred Limonious, you should head over to the Subliminal Projects online store.
