The children of Joshua House were two Thursdays ago treated to a 'Santa' visit when the two artistes who make up the pair Truly Blessed paid them a visit.

Marlon Sansculotte aka Benji Diamond and Travis Carter aka Gad Kid whose names should be known from their disc that has been spun on the airwaves by several of the hype local DJs time and time again. The track that has made them popular among the roots reggae crowd and further afield is called "True Warriors".

The duo chose at Christmas time to share with the youth of Joshua House. And they decended on the location bearing gifts sponsored by their overseas based manager Davy Simmons of 2-5th Records based in Harlem, New York. Toys and lots of books were distributed amongst the youths leaving many with broad smiles on their faces.

In the New Year Benji and Gad plan to release their CD, 'True Warriors' bringing serious music and inspiration to the public's consciousness. They are at the moment on schedule at Kross Kolours Studio on Duncan Street putting the final touches together.
