"with the initials "I.D." Growing up in Philly as an R&B artist, Raynice Gomillion took on a new name, singing backup with the likes of Chezideck and Tuff Lion. Recently touring with Junior Toots, she's producing an album with Rankin Scroo (sample from it below). Big things planned for 2013 and her CG video "Is it a Crime" on YouTube is a truly creative & outstanding production!"

"I'm lovin' it," Junior Toots said backstage after his performance. "I've never been to Hawaii, so I wanted to come out to see what this place is like and spread the message of love. It's been a great experience, so far, and the Hawaiian people are great." Singer Irae Divine made her second appearance at the event, and describes it as "a blessing." "I've waited all year for this," she said.

"The Wanubi Project, headed by promoter Khalif, put on a great show at The New Parish in Oakland on November 9, 2012. Messenjah Selah opened strongly and later joined Luciano for a duet. Junior Toots put on a solid performance with some fine dancing. He also highlighted the fantastic voices of the women backing him, Irae Divine and Sole Atash. Luciano had to contain himself on a small stage (no flips this time), but his vibes expanded to fill the many nooks and crannies of the bi-level club, and brought people flowing in from the courtyard."
