Did you know there are more than a millions people of Jamaican origins living in London?
Imagine how gwan they must feel today, when, just a day before the 50th Anniversary of Jamaica Independence, two of their con nationals, won Gold Medals at the Olympics Games.

Check Usain Bolt and team Jamaica in London singing Tommy Lee’s and Vybz Kartel’s tunes. Gazaaaaa.
Big up to the fastest man on earth, Mr Bolt, faster than light, that just stroked again getting the gold medals on the Men’s 100-meter Final in London where he stormed to victory in 9.63, the second quickest in history and also an Olympic record.
Just in case you didn’t know yet, Gaza He Seh. #Usain Bolt has been saying #Gaza since the get go. Check out the official trailer for his documentary “Why Do Jamaicans Run So Fast?”, from 2009.
In the documentary Usain Bolt says “Vybz Kartel is my favorite artist” “He is a good lyricist. I listen to all his music. It is fun.”
Kartel has the same admiration back for the athlete. He said about Bolt
“It is a great feeling to know we share the same respect,”“Usain Bolt is my favorite athlete and I have known him since high school.
We are two Jamaicans who in our respective fields both reach the heights of greatness, yet to be surpassed. It is a good comparison.”
It’s said Kartel hoped to travel to London to watch Bolt’s in action, but instead he remains locked at the Horizontal Detention Center for the alleged murders of Barrington Burton and Clive Lizard Williams.
While Usain Bolt went on in world vision, Kartel, that had his final trial dates for his murder charges set last week, will have to appear again before the court on October 29th, in relation to the case of Burton, and on Nov. 5 2012 for Williams .
