Congratulations! We've all made it to 2013! Today we say goodbye to the madness that was last year in a typically ridiculous style. Hopefully 2013 proves to be even stronger.... and for you it really can only get better than today. Look at what you're spending your time reading! Rubbish! A random and surely awful and inaccurate look back at one of the best musical years in recent memory - 2012.

Verse of The Year
Verse #2 from 'Fire Ball' by Busy Signal
"Trace dem a trace cah chatty mouth dem
Time dem ah waste, wi no matta bout dem
Coulda neva keep none badmind friend, weh ah pree my money, every dollar mi spend
God nah sleep
HIM ah peep pon dem
All wicked deed dem, mi ah fyah bun dem
Nuff a dem ah discriminate Black
End up inna roadblock
Detour gone inna dem end
Well nuff nah go deh deh when Jah Jah role call
Like Gibraltar Rock, so mi standing tall
Dem ah bawl
Dem ah fall
Dem ah crawl
Nuff no memba Jah til dem back ‘gainst the wall
No burn bridges behind you, you will stall
So mi bun badmind and bun dutty heart and slew dem all!"
