Accomplished veteran dancehall deejay Lt. Stitchie, who has given us over twenty albums covering two genres (gospel and reggae-dancehall), written and released a book called The Power of Determination, and won numerous accolades as a music professional, is regretfully in dire straits.
In the last quarter of 2023, his fans and supporters began to notice that he was exhibiting stroke-like symptoms. Not knowing what to make of it, people began to make speculations. Stitchie subsequently withdrew from public events, resulting in even more conjectures about his health and wellness.
Sadly, months later, we are all learning that he has recently suffered a severe brain hemorrhage that has left him unresponsive. What’s more, his family is seeking financial help to cover the costs of his transfer, medical care, and living expenses in a long-term care facility. To that end, they have started a GoFundMe page to raise money in aid of Stitchie’s rehabilitation journey.

One of the pioneers of female rap, MC Lyte, has just released an inspirational single called Thank You. The record features Mary Mary and Muni Long, and is being labeled as gospel by some industry insiders, not because of Mary Mary but rather because of MC Lyte‘s overt and passionate praise and acknowledgement of God.
Hip-hop lovers, however, who are of the belief that Lyte may be dropping an album soon, consider Thank You one of the strongest of her recent releases. It went live on streaming platforms on August 23rd and is on the My Block Inc. imprint.
