Words by Tishanna Williams

Well, the vibe was definitely right when we caught up with reggae royalty Queen Omega and Kushite, at Omega’s yard in Gasparillo, South Trinidad. The ladies treated us to two original freestyles followed by an unplanned duet of Queen’s wicked, unreleased track “Jah Jah is Real” complete with a personal shout out to LargeUp. Stay tuned for our Q+A  with Queen Omega and Kushite as part of our Empresses + Queens series spotlighting women in reggae.
