Last Saturday night at the Long Bay Beach in Negril saw some stellar performances from some of dancehall’s finest. The event - New York Link Up Spring Break - saw each performer, one after the other showing that they were there to ensure dancehall fans had a great time and that they did.
However, standouts for the night proved to be the consistent Digicel brand ambassador I-Octane, Sizzla and Singer J.
Coming on stage at 3:15 am I-Octane kicked of his performance with Nah Wash before introducing his signature hit Lose A Friend.
"I'm not singing this song for myself tonight, it’s dedicated to Bounty and Miss Ivy,” with Bounty in the house the song was a way for fans to share in the Killer’s grief.
The follow-up song seemed a given Mama You Alone. Burning Bridge, Jah Jah, Puff It and I A Cry should have put the cap on his half-hour performance, but his fans would have none of that!
I-Octane was called back on stage four times before they reluctantly accepted that the show had to go on.
Sizzla was in a fiery mood and he showed it but ‘bunning’ out a lot of ‘unrighteousness’ during his performance. With songs such as Get To The Point, Praise Jah and Just One of Those Days he kept the massive on a high.
Following a good stint from Kip Rich, Beenie Man was next. He had no problem keeping his fans entertained. Other great performances came from Popcaan and stablemate Tommy Lee.
Bounty Killer brought the curtains down on the show in fine style.
Earlier in the evening there were some good performances from Potential Kid, Lisa Hyper, Singer J as well upcoming acts out of Westmoreland.
But the real energy level started at 2:30 am when Khago took center stage with songs like blood a boil, tun up di ting amongst his other hits.
