HOTTT New Dancehall ►►► Beenie Man – Me Neva!

Greetings!

When it comes to Dancehall, and when it comes to delivering HIT records for the Dancehall, there are few artists who come close to the echelon in which King Beenie Man dwells.  One of his latest chunes “Me Neva” is another example of the Kings greatness!

Produced by Lexzona Muzyk, the Koko Riddim has a sweet throwback vibe reminiscent of Dancehall riddims from the 90’s, so imagine Beenie performing these lyrics:  “me / born Outta mih modda belly / neva did that / why in the name of God mih waan head up mih back / caw mih neva eva eva eva eva neva eva do dat / bring Carena come park up / mih have a power jack / gyal ah nyam ah cuch fih get ah pension / like Veronica Campbell yuh firm like a brag / yuh have dih cushion for the pushin / and mih have yuh inna mih sack / like mully mih give yuh one drop ….”  Musical Murdah! 

Giving fans exactly what they expect, Beenie Man doesn’t disappoint as his lyrical delivery is airtight and in sync with the riddim!  On Saturday August 17^th, 2013, he will be the star of the show at the Montreal International Reggae Festival and the ladies couldn’t be happier!  For more information on the event, visit www.montrealreggaefest.com or Tweet with them on Twitter @MTLReggaefest or message them on Facebook >>> https://www.facebook.com/montreal.reggaefest

HOTTT Performance Opinion ►►► Jabba, Bobby Konders, King Beenie Man, Elephant Man…!

Greetings! 

We watched the BET Music Awards 2013 with pride as Jabba, Bobby Konders, Dawn Penn and Chaka Demus & Pliers, King Beenie Man and Elephant Man represented our country and genres by rocking the audience and infecting them with the best of our culture.  They didn’t disappoint. 

What the world saw was and is another reason for all award ceremonies to include Reggae (and by extension Dancehall) as a category to their presentation.  Not as a token, but because the people want it and we’ve earned it.

I don’t know the politics as to why Jabba and Bobby were chosen to represent us (and it doesn’t matter), but I assure you, BET got it 100% correct.  What the network did was spotlight 30 plus years of teamwork, music production and event planning Massive B has contributed to our industry.  That contribution deserved to be centre stage.  Their years at HOT 97 FM in New York, the annual, semi-annual and weekly parties they promote; the money they generate for promoters and venues in New York; the opportunities they’ve given and been a part of, from Irie Jam to Platinum Kidz to Steelie Bashment and the list goes on.  For all the artists Massive B has worked with over the years, for all the upcoming DJ’s and sound systems, this duo deserved every minute of spotlight, and let me just say, they should get a little more!

Today, I ask you to reach out to them on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram and give them a genuine salute.  Not because of the hype of the moment, but because of the years of commitment they have given us, unwavering.  Salute them because they were ready when called to camera, lights, action!

Salute Jabba and Bobby and thank you for a job well done.
