I know they may look a little crazy, but don’t kill the messenger…

These are the newest shoes for guys from Christian Louboutin.

They’re a little out there, hence why they’re called the ‘No Limit’ shoes

Check it out!

It's obvious that Drake is

the man of the hour with the

release of his new

album Take Care, and it

seems that his success has

only fueled the disses

coming at him.

Everyone knows that Drake

is a lover not a fighter, but

with Drake's ego seemingly

getting bigger, rightfully so,

many rappers aren't too

happy about it.

Rap legend, Common is

also taking his turn bashing

the Young Money rapper. In

Common's new video

"Sweet," it seems he has a

problem with rapper's

singing and he let the whole

world know. During the interlude of "Sweet" Common says a

few words about singing on rap tracks.

Drake's really hot right now, so people will

always fire shots. Drake should probably

know that it's nothing personal; it's just a

part of the game.

Can't we all just big each other up?!

Take a look at Common's "Sweet" video

on Youtube and listen to the interlude

carefully to hear where he takes jabs at

Drake.

BFF

Jaleel Ferguson & Bradley Perkins

hey met in preparatory school at age 10 and they’ve been the

best of friends ever since. Jaleel and Bradley are now sixteen and seventeen years old respectively and they both attended St. George’s College together and are as close as ever. However, Bradley now attends the Excelsior Community College. They’re better known as Smurff and Zade and for fun, they just chill, play video games, play football and party! They enjoy hanging out at Jaleel’s house and they’re always there for each other and they think their friendship will last a very long time. They’ve only been in one fight, which was in sixth grade at a friend’s house and they got over it in the same space of time. They joke around a lot, so they’re always laughing. Even though he’s the most talkative, Zade is the shyest of the duo, but they’re both ‘fresh’ as they describe each other. Jaleel also describes Bradley as trustworthy, kind, real and jovial, while Zade also describes Smurff as kind, real, jovial, trustworthy and cool.

The term "Batmobile" is one that gets thrown around a lot in

automotive circles. Pretty much anything black and sinister is

described as the Dark Knight's new ride. But aside from the handful of

custom vehicles made for the various TV shows and movie

installments over the years

– ranging from campy to

badass – few have been

truly worthy of the name.

Enter the Wiesmann MF5

Black Bat.

Starting with the top-of-the-

line V10-powered MF5 retro

roadster, customizers

SchwabenFolia and Dahler

have produced the closest

thing to a genuine Batmobile

this side of the world. They've wrapped it in matte black, blacked out

the chrome and given it a set of noir BBS 20-inch alloys with polished

rims.

There's even a little Batman logo on the back, but the party piece is

the ECU reflash and new exhaust that have brought output up from

the 507 horsepower featured in the old BMW M5 and M6 to a nice,

round 600. Six-piston

Brembo calipers keep the

power in check, but with that

much bat-juice under hood,

we wouldn't expect to see

this beast sitting still for long.

Spotlight Keida

A former student of the St. Andrew High School for Girls, Makeida Beckford more popularly known as

Keida, burst onto the local entertainment scene in 2009 and has since been infectious among Jamaican

teens. She hails from Bull Bay, St. Thomas and her career initially began as a little joke with her friend

Leftside. She was hanging at his studio one day while he was recording and he asked her to sing the

hook on the song as a joke and she actually sounded great and eventually began doing her own songs.

And the rest as they say, is history. TeenVybe recently had a chat with Keida and here‟s what she had to

say.

TV: What do you think sets you apart from other artistes?

Keida: I would say my own personality and just being myself. I mean, nobody can do you better than

yourself, so that‟s what I always try to do, just be myself and do it to my best.

TV: How would you say your journey in the music industry has been so far?

Keida: I‟d definitely have to say that I‟ve been blessed. I‟ve only been in this industry for about two

and a half years and I‟m really appreciative of the success that I‟ve had so far. I‟ve been able to travel,

I‟ve been able to perform internationally, I‟ve been able to be a part of very recognized campaigns and I

think that‟s something that definitely should not go unnoticed. I mean, in that short space of time my

work has been recognized, it has been supported, I have been getting good airplay and I‟ve been

received internationally as well as locally, so I think it‟s going well.

TV: Describe your swag.

Keida: I really dress for comfort, but being an artist and not only a musician but also a visual artist, so

I‟m very creative. So you might see me trying out quirky things that other people wouldn‟t be keen to

trying, but it‟s just what works for me.

TV: If you weren‟t doing music, what do you think you‟d be doing?

Keida: I‟d definitely be doing something in the field of visual arts. Whether it be graphic design or

painting or set design because these are all things that I have experience in and that I like doing.

TV: Who‟s your favourite musical artist [Local & Int‟l]?

Keida: I cannot say I have a favourite because I listen to so many different artists and it changes ever

so often because I always discover new artists. Like, I tend to not be in tune to what everyone is

listening to, so I always find the underground artists. So right now, I‟m listening to „The Weekend‟,

he‟s really cool and I also listen to a lot of Frank Ocean.

TV: What‟s your favourite song right now?

Keida: My favourite songs right now are „Coming Down‟ and „High For This‟. Those are two songs by

„The Weekend‟.

TV: Did you want to be an artist when you were a teen or was it something that you grew into?

Keida: Nooo, I had no plan of being an artist at all. *LOLs* Not even when my song was playing on

the radio did I want to be an artist. I think it just came about when people started requesting more songs.

Actually I didn‟t even realize that I was going to take it seriously until I had to make a decision between

what I was studying at the time, which was graphic design and music. Because, it was hard to balance

both of them and a lot of series of events caused me to choose music and recognize that it‟s a blessing

and that this is what God wants me to do and that I‟m gonna do it.

TV: Was your family supportive of your musical career?

Keida: Yea, definitely. Actually, when I was in my final year at Edna Manley College when I was

studying graphic design, my computer crashed right before my final year show and that was four years

of work down the drain that I had to do over. So, the first person who I went to was my mother. She‟s

very liberal where my decision making is concerned; she supports me in everything that I do. I felt like I

needed her approval in the decision that I was going to make. So I was like “You know Mommy, should

I do the music thing or should I do over all my work that‟s going to take probably another year?” And

she just advised me and let me know that “I‟ve always been an artiste and I always will be an artiste and

not having my degree right now won‟t ever stop me from doing graphics, so I can take on music and

cover all my expenses at school through music and then I can do my thesis at Edna Manley anytime.”

So I just tried to look at the positive in it and just said “everything happens for a reason, this is God‟s

plan and his decision for me to do music and then do whatever else afterwards.” And right now, through

music, I was able to pay off all my student loans and other expenses.

TV: How‟d you do in high school?

Keida: Well, at Andrews I was apart of the

drama club for the whole time there. I did

swimming, I was apart of the speech choir

and I played hockey.

TV: What are some of your pet peeves?

Keida: *LOLs* I‟m very OCD, so I

have a lot. I don‟t like walking around

barefoot on wet concrete. I think it‟s the

grossest thing ever. Especially if it‟s

more than one person. *LOLs* The

worst experience could be like at a

water park where there‟s so many

people walking around on wet concrete

and people have cuts and stuff. That‟s

gross. Another pet peeve is guys that

don‟t have good hygiene or who don‟t

take care of their toes. Just bad

hygiene overall.

TV: Where are some places that you‟ve travelled to and where is your favourite destination?

Keida: I have been privileged enough to go to a lot of the small islands in the Caribbean. I‟ve been to

Barbados, Trinidad, Antigua, Dominica, Martinique and New York. My favourite place would have to

be Dominica because I‟m a nature person and out of all the places that I‟ve been to, Dominica is the

most nature-oriented. It has like a river for every day of the year, it has 360+ rivers. And it‟s kinda like;

you‟re driving through and every five minutes you‟re at a different waterfall and they‟re right there at

the roadside. It‟s like Portland over and over again; it just feels like you‟re in a jungle, so it‟s really

really nice.

TV: What are three things you think is required to gain success in life?

Keida: Well, confidence definitely! If you don‟t believe in yourself, nobody‟s really gonna believe in

you. Dedication. You have to keep at what you believe in. If you really believe it can work, you have to

stick to it and stick out through the hard times. And also, you definitely have to have a spiritual

connection with a higher being. You can‟t always do things on your own. You have to be grounded a

little bit beyond the materialistic. You have to pay homage to a higher being. It‟s not just you

responsible for your life; you have to give thanks and don‟t take things for granted. You wake up every

morning and it‟s like the beginning of the rest of your life.

TV: Who are you inspired by or who do you look up to?

Keida: I would have to say my mother. She‟s a strong

person, she‟s a real champion, she‟s always very

determined and she might set goals that other people

would say are unattainable, but she

always believes in herself and makes them

a reality.

TV: What‟s your favourite movie?

Keida: My favourite movie is

Rock and Roller. It‟s a British film

and it‟s about a group of con artists

who con the biggest con artists.

It‟s kinda cool. I like it because of

the dialogue and the British accent.

TV: Five words to describe Keida.

Keida: Laid-back, humble, eclectic,

creative, generous.

TV: How would you

describe your style of music?

Keida: I try to switch things up a little bit. I wouldn‟t say it‟s straight dancehall. A lot of my music

is influenced by the type of riddims that I do get to voice on, but

whenever I do have a chance to have some say in that side of things, I try to mix things up a bit. I mix

different genres, so I would like to describe it as fusion, whether it be dancehall and reggae or whatever

type of music I try to mix in, could be dub, dubsteb, reggaeton.

TV: What advice would you give to teens who also wish to pursue music?

Keida: I think for any field that you want to go into, it‟s important to have a high school education at

least. Not only because of your subjects or this or that. It‟s about having a foundation and having the

discipline of knowing certain things. Because in high school, you learn certain disciplines; you learn

preparation, you learn dedication, you learn seeing things through, you learn how to manage a project

properly, and you learn how to work with people. All those little projects definitely do help, because in

real life, it‟s kinda just like high school all over again. So I think that‟s the first thing you need to do.

And take it seriously, it‟s only five years out of your life, you have so many other years in REAL life,

than having to spend a next five years going to classes and this and that to do over stuff that you cudda

just do in five years and then have the rest of your life to live.

TV: What motivates you?

Keida: Life is my motivation. Every morning when I wake up, the first thing I try to do is just give

thanks for life. I mean, you never know. Each day is a blessing. So my motivation is just the breath of

life.

TV: Who are some artists that you‟ve worked with?

Keida: I‟ve worked with Protoje, Erup, Leftside and Shurwayne Winchester.

TV: Who are some artists that you‟d like to work with?

Keida: I‟d definitely like to work with Weezy, The Weekend, Junior Gong, Tarrus Riley, Queen Ifrica,

just soooo many!

TV: What do you do for fun?

Keida: Music! Painting, spending time with my family. Just anything creative

TV: Where do you see Keida in ten years?

Keida: In ten years, I‟d like to be touring. Europe, The Americas, Asia, all over the world! I would

love to have released a few albums. In ten years, honestly, I‟d love to be winding down my career. I

don‟t want to be still trying to get a buss. I‟d like to be established and settling down with my family. I

don‟t wanna be up and down. I hope to be just enjoying my life, my personal life.

TV: What do you want Keida‟s legacy to be?

Keida: I think I‟m trying to work on that right now, which is to just always have successful songs. I

mean, so far I‟ve heard a lot of people say “boy, every song she have is a hit!” and that‟s definitely not

true, but I think every song that I‟ve ever done has been appreciated. I mean I just want to always make

good music, that‟s timeless. I want people to look back and say “this was a wicked song!” and then

song after song, people are saying, “yo all of her music is so wicked!”

TV: What would you say is your greatest accomplishment so far?

Keida: I think my biggest accomplishment is simply taking music seriously and really making a career

out of it. It could have just been a one time thing, you know? I think just really sticking to it and

continuously dedicating my self to it has been my greatest accomplishment. Because I get tired of

things very easily. So for me to stick to something for so long and still not be tired of it, it‟s definitely

my greatest accomplishment.

TV: What do you look for in a guy?

Keida: First of all, I have a bad habit. I usually overlook features until I get to know the person. A

good personality is always something that strikes me first. I mean, you could be good looking, caah

done! If you have a stink personality, I don‟t wanna know you.

TV: Any other talents?

Keida: I‟m an artist. I paint, I draw, I‟m a sculptor, I‟m a graphic designer, I can do jewellery making,

I‟m also a muralist.

TV: Music is

___________?

Keida: Life.

BlackBerry Curve 9380 Is the First All-Touchscreen Cheapie Curve

The BlackBerry Curve 9380 is one of the latest

phones from RIM and the second one this year to

prominently feature a touchscreen, the other of

course being the BlackBerry Torch 9860. To all

intents and purposes this is the same phone as the

Curve 9360 in terms of specifications, performance

and design.

The only major and obvious difference is that the

Curve 9380 features a 3.2-inch touchscreen whereas the Curve 9360

featured a non-touch 2.5-inch screen and the traditional BlackBerry

Qwerty keyboard.

A 5-megapixel camera with VGA video recording and LED flash sits on

the back. You don’t get much in the way of internal storage (a slim 512MB) but thankfully the

microSD card slot can work with cards of up to 32GB in size.

Dimensions of the BlackBerry Curve 9380 measure up at 109 x 60 x 11.2mm. It’s very compact

and though light at 98 grams, it doesn’t feel insubstantial.

The BlackBerry Curve 9380 is aimed at BBM addicts and BlackBerry fans who want to try a

touchscreen phone but don’t necessarily want to jump to Android or get an iPhone. It’s also set

to be competitively priced, making this an affordable option, compared to the Torch 9860 (the

other touchscreen BlackBerry) that some might find too expensive for what it is.

The Curve 9380 is set to hit stores internationally before Christmas.

Health Depression

There are two main types of depression. The type that comes from bad things happening

outside of you and the type that comes from within you for no apparent reason.

From Outside:

My parents are splitting up

I’ve been ill

My mom is very sick

I had an argument with my boyfriend/girlfriend and we

broke up

I’ll never finish this school work in time

My parents are constantly arguing

The outside depression is when something horrible happens

outside of yourself which makes life difficult to cope with. Maybe you’ve failed your exams or

your parents are getting divorced or your friend dies. Dreadful things that just make you want

to curl up inside and cry forever. This kind of depression is painful, but medically speaking, it

is also a normal reaction. If you didn’t feel pain, you wouldn’t be human. Eventually, the grave

sadness wears off as you express your feelings to others, as nicer things happen, as life just

simply goes on. It’s still there, like a scar, but it doesn’t hurt so much.

From Within:

I’m lonely – no one likes me

What’s it all for anyway?

My life is a mess. I can’t make it work.

I’m a loser anyway, why bother?

Nobody loves me

It’s all my fault. Whatever I do, I hurt someone

This kind of depression is when something collapses inside you. Gloom and greyness descend

on your life for no obvious reason – everything might be fine, but you just can’t see it that way.

And if something slightly bad does happen, it feels like the world has ended. This kind of

depression is like an illness – like getting pneumonia or a fever. This depression is more

difficult to deal with than the outside sort, and also takes longer to go away. For a few people,

the depression is so severe that it controls every aspect of their life and makes it seem as if it’s

not worth going on. If you can say to someone you trust, “look, I don’t know why, but I feel

really really down and I need to talk to someone”, then that is the first step away from this kind

of depression

TeenVybe Spirit

Wow, here we are again for yet another issue of TeenVybe Spirit. Thanks for lending me your attention

guys.

I want to talk with you guys about trust. Trust is a BIG ‘small word’. I mean it’s a BIG deal to trust or put

your trust in someone, but I really want to talk about putting our trust in God.

Our Scripture Reference:

Okay, I have found myself at the mouth of crossroads on several occasions in my life before and I’m

almost sure you yourself have as well, but two things have been constant when I get to these

crossroads; and they are:

1. If I rely on my own understanding, my ability to make the right decision is limited; hence my

results most times find me trying to get myself out of a tight spot or at yet another crossroad.

2. If I rely on God’s understanding and directions; my ability to make the right decision is engaged

and magnified, hence the results – ten times out of ten lead me to the answer (s) I need.

What am I saying? I’m saying

I have learned to trust in

God, by Him proving

Himself to me over and over

and over again, therefore

I’m thrilled to be able to

trust in a God that makes

me better and leads me to

the right answers and to do so with all my

heart, as mentioned in our scripture reference.

Knowing that I can put my trust in God allows

me to fearlessly take on my future challenges.

How about you?

Do you live in fear of the challenges you face or

the ones you will face in the future? Put God to

the test and develop trust in Him. Trust in the

Lord today and onward and He will lead you to

the answers you

need. Trusting Him

works for me, so I’m

confident it will work

for you too.

If you believe

God’s word (The

Bible) is true and effective for life and

would like to know His Son; Jesus Christ as

Saviour and Lord of your life, it’s very

simple… Just:

A. Admit that you are a sinner in need of

God.

B. Believe that Jesus Christ died and rose

again for your sins.

C. Confess Jesus Christ as Lord of your life.

The following prayer is one you can say right now to confess Jesus as Lord and ask Him to save

you:

Dear God, I admit I am a sinner in need of You. Please forgive me of my sins and give me

abundant life here on earth and eternal life with You in heaven. I believe Jesus died and rose

again for my sins. I confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of my life. Thank You for saving

me, In Jesus' name, Amen.
