The African Crew ladies came on the scene in the mid’ to late 80’s. I remember seeing them at the Q’ club in Queens NY,
at that time members of each crew seemed to dress alike and you could more or less tell who belonged to which crew by their attire.
Linda, Doris, Andrene (Ann), Diamond and one other young lady (can’t remember her name). You would think these Ladies were all Jamaican
Until you heard Doris and Linda speak, Linda and Doris are from Ghana. Out of the crew Linda was the most talked about, she designed most of
Their clothing, she also made her way around the men of Dancehall. It is rumored that Linda once dated Beenie Man, she was also linked to
Angela Stricker (Iron Back) son Ratty, Parkside, BK., Bloggers can confirm. She was also rumored to have dated Jagga Booka B’. I certainly have
A lot to tell about this crew but will stop here as I am sure fellow Bloggers, Peepers and Onlookers can add to this. What I especially liked about this crew is that
They made a clean get away from the Dancehall scene, perhaps we can find out, “Where are they NOW”.
The last I knew about 2 years ago Linda was with Jonathan (Arthurlene’s nephew) and I think they were living in Minnesota or Milwaukee.
ohio
Ohio wow, is she still designing clothing. I recalled she had a Son, he was well behaved….ho is he doing?
Doris I remembered was lo’ but there was that fight she got into and got her face cut. She I think ended up married to an African guy. Ann I was told some time ago that she joined the military, bought a house and continued to raise her kids that she had with Percy. Diamond I haven’t heard anything about, she was going back and forth from Cali to New York and even Atlanta but she seemed to fall off my radar ever since Kirk passed away.
Which Percy Quena? Almshouse boys from Queens?
I believe his name is Percy Bell…….oh yes Almshouse crew, his brother Dave was shot and killed R.I.P
His big bro? wow RIP.
I remember that little chiwawa baby mother of his…thought she was Jamaican.
Whose Baby Mother, Dave’s? I think her name was Nicky if so, lol.
It’s andrene that use to be with Percy she was jamaican not doris
So who said Doris :ngakak Reread my thing, I said Ann :)I don’t come on here sharing people lives if I am unsure, it would not be nice and I try to keep things Trill!
How old is Linda? Cause in 80s Ratty a not even 18…a think Ratty 16 Bithday party keep a Turntable muchless. Q club in late 80s was kinda sharp about letting in under 18s.
Ratty suppose to be late 30’s early 40’s
Linda it’s my guess she is any where from 44 to 47 years old, but I’m guessing!
Ratty surpass me in age. I know him use to frig him mumma big oman friend dem.
I would say she was with him in the early to mid 90’s along with others.
Yes, I know that of Ratty!
Where’s Sofia, Butta daughter?
Butta, I thought someone said she was in Jamaica. I will have to inquire, I haven’t heard anything in quite a few years!
It’s not that serious wasn’t even trying to discredit u it was just a honest mistake, was reading so fast I didn’t see that u mentioned Ann.
No worries, I didn’t take it as serious didn’t you see the laughing emoticon……or you missed that too :ngakak
It’s cool!
Linda have a son for WILLOW wilson the singer.she did try get wife up by beenie man but it neva work lol. Ugly Doris have aids
Oh dear why so mean…..sorry to hear that about Doris, hope she is able to pull through like Magic Johnson!
Quena di way u reply meck I thinks is not the first u hearing the AIDS part
CHUET! Big up inna de evling yah.
@Chuetty No, it is the first I am hearing it, it just hit me in the chest is all……it didn’t read nice, ugly and then aids came as a one, two punch. Sickness and Death belongs to all of us, if you dodge one bullet another may hit you so I try to never be mean when speaking of death and illness whether I like the person or not!
@Puertoriquena
I respect that
Yu know yu just as rass mine? :think:
@met, on a different note, I heard FRENCHIE DAUGHTER THE HYPE ONE DEH A IMMIGRATION,AND THE SON DEH A JAIL..ANY 411 PON DAT?.
I believe that just a bad rumor about Doris. I never heard anything about Doris being sick. so I’m not going to entertaine that comment from above. African crew grew up and moved on. them selves along with Ouch crew and Madusa a white dread from Germany were the key players in dancehall fashion going to the extreme.
Big up all old dancehall veterans
@ Rumor , the one that just came p not too long ago , i think she name Tanney or Tamney ?
Was Doris the one that was with Ray Ray Sniper?
No @anon4:34, I think the one name paula,the big one, she deh yah longtime..
@Phatrabbit yes she same one smh!!!
maude died of aids memba pretty maude whe useto hang with angela strikers they useto say they were sisters. angela still big her up. Maude did catch the aids from dat man whe she marry mi forget his name he get it while in jail all have big wedding for her with helicopter.
When I was a teenager, and frequented dance regular, I use to see Maude. I always thought she was so pretty and every time I saw her, she was dressed so well. It’s a shame such a beautiful woman died such a ugly death. RIP Maude.
