Delly Ranx rocks Central, South America

Delly Ranx has continued his incredible resurgence as a reggae artiste, building a loyal fan base in countries in Central and South America.

The Next Chapter deejay recently performed in Mexico City, on November 24, rocking a decent-sized audience with an energetic performance of his reggae and dancehall hits. He performed an impressive 90-minute set that earned a review in one of the town's major newspapers.

Medley of hits

He went on stage at 1 a.m, doing a steady medley of hits that included recent chart-burners One Away Soldier and The Next Chapter.

One of Delly Ranx's biggest hits in Mexico, Cook Hennessy, connected.

Other standout songs included If I Knew, Good Friend, Nuh Bung Dung DI Herbs, and Push Wood, a single from his critically acclaimed The Next Chapter album.

Delly Ranx's gangster dancehall songs also got great reception, and his party songs were simply electric. He was forced to pull up Red Bull And Guinness three times. Other impressive songs included Laws Of A Gangster, Gimme Di Weed, Jiggy Time, Pelpa, Headache and Work Round Dem.

By the time he began his dancehall medley, patrons were eating out of his hand and he could do no wrong.

Charly Black is 'Unstoppable'!

Dancehall artiste Charly Black has once more found favour with the public from one of his latest studio efforts 'Unstoppable', a single produced by Gachapan Records.

The song was released two weeks ago and has instantly become a part of several radio disc jockeys' playlists locally and internationally. The song is also being embraced as a strong motivational tool for people who are experiencing difficult periods.

Unstoppable will be included also on the deejay's debut album, which is set to be released on his birthday, April 6. This is the third track, in as many months, which the Trelawny citizen has released and has got a warm reception for, the others being Never Let You Go and Wine And Kotch, which feature Da'Ville and J Capri respectively.

Downsound Records showing its 'Force'

With three top 10 hits under their belt, members of Downsound Records' (DSR) high-powered group, The Force, are intent on making a statementat this year's staging of Sting at Jam World in Portmore, St Catherine, on December 26.

Group members Specialist, Ishawna, Nature, Don Husky, and Naasir have been drafted to be on the line-up for this year's staging of the highly anticipated year-end stage show.

Downsound Records CEO Josef Bogdanovich revealed that the members of The Force that have been selected to be on the signature eventhave earned their stripes and therefore merit a place on Supreme Promotion's prestigious Boxing Day showcase.

Brilliant performer

"Without a doubt, The Force is on the rise in the dancehall arena, everybody knows that. They first came to attention withthe top 10 hit, When We Roll, on the popular rap Imma Boss rhythm, then Ishawna and Specialist stepped up when they combined for Do For Love, which is now #3 on the ER charts.

Nature is a brilliant performer, as he proved at Reggae Sumfest, and he is going to be a huge reggae star in the future as his World Peace song is on multiple reggae charts all over the world. Plus, we have two newcomers Vinci and Don Husky, who will be performing alongside Specialist, so you have to take The Force seriously right now," Bogdanovich said.

Billboard chart-riding producer Cordell 'Skatta' Burrell, the resident beat maestro at DSR, believes that Nature is going to wow the dancehall massive at Sting with his charismatic stage presence and World Peace hit.

"The Force is gradually growing, and they are ready to take on the next stage of development, delivering the goods at a major stage show. I believe that the fans are going to be impressed by Nature, who is poised to be one of the greatest reggae acts out of Jamaica," Skatta said.
Nature topped several reggae charts such as HYPE TV, FIWI Choice and CVM Hitlist with his breakout hit, World Peace.

"We all know that Sting is about clashes and war, but I am going to inject some love and unity into the proceedings with World Peace before the fireworks in the early morning. Mi ah come," Nature said.

For her part, Ishawna, riding high with her Do For Love combination hit, plans to bring her sultry, sexy vocals to this year's Sting.

"I am going all out to entertain the fans, they won't be disappointed. Mi ah go hard and done," she said.

Vegas to sell Florida home where his ex-girlfriend brought new lover

The house in which Mr Vegas' ex-girlfriend was caught having sex with a next man is now being sold because Vegas believes there are too many bad memories attached to the property.

The property, a Florida town house estimated at US $129,000, (J$11,831,880), was the centre of controversy after Vegas' ex-girlfriend brought her new lover into the home, while her child was in the next room.

"The house is for sale. It has too much bad energy, I've not been there since those few days, I can't go back there. I'm trying to stay away from the bad energy, so I'm going to sell it and put the money in an account for my daughter and my other kids," Vegas told THE STAR.

"The single purely conveys the joy that one feels being in a festive mood when the DJ plays their favourite song. That's how I feel when I'm doing it, so I am sharing it with the people," Dezola told the Jamaica Observer.

Dezola, whose given name is O'Brian Bentley, is from Garveymeade in St Catherine. He said his love for music goes way back.

Beres, Toots for New Zealand fest

Beres Hammond and Toots and The Maytals are among the headliners for the February 1-2 Ragga Muffins Festival in Rotorua, New Zealand.

According to a statement from organisers, Italian singer Albarosie and emerging American reggae band Rebelution are also on the sixth staging of the show.

Hip-hop star Lauryn Hill and British band UB40 are part of the eclectic line-up.

First held in 2008, the Ragga Muffins Festival played major Australian cities including Melbourne and Australia as well as New Zealand.

Last year, founder and promoter Andrew McManus cancelled the Australian leg of the festival, due to the no-show of some reggae artistes. McManus had threatened legal action against these acts.
