Canadians Flock to ‘Beachorama’ For Fun in the Sun!


It is no secret that Canadians have endured an exceptionally harsh winter with temperatures averaging -20 degrees, and it is also no secret that Canadians love to party.  Wren4Life of All Starz Entertainment and Niyah of MYC Entertainment have teamed to take Canadians from the cold with Beachorama on Saturday April 27th, 2019 at Sabina Park!

Created by Wren4Life, Beachorama is a beach-based event held 4 times per year which allows party-goers to indulge in the best music, from the best DJs on the beaches of Jamaica as they enjoy premium beverages.  When contacted by Niyah of MYC Entertainment about hosting hundreds of travelers for fun in the sun and sand, Wren didn’t hesitate to say ‘yes.’  “I’m glad that Beachorama has grown from being a party in Jamaica to now being a party that hosts foreigners too.  Canada is more than welcome to party with us!”



Rapper Rooftop Rep from New York whose catalog of music includes a collaboration with Lil Pump and Kanye West will be on hand to perform as well.  When speaking to media about making this union happen, Niyah said “I am excited for this partnership. As a Canadian promoter, my job is to give fans new experiences they’ll love, and Beachorama does that.  Thanks to support from Barcode Saturday’s, Canada’s hottest party, we have a chance to take clientele from Canada to Jamaica.”

Fans are welcome to bring their own coolers to the event as DJs play the best in Dancehall, Soca and Hip Hop.  Joining Taylor Girlz and Rooftop Rep on the stage is King of the Dancehall Beenie Man!  The DJ lineup includes Kurt Riley, Team Shella, Hattaklaps, Copper Shot (Sean Paul’s tour DJ) and Rolexx (Konshens DJ).

Beachorama is a quarterly event that blends premium entertainment with premium fans.  Now in its 7th year.  For more information visit www.beachorama.party

Beckford Music Group Presents: Nemo Dilinga x F.A.M – Wine Pon Mi!


Brooklyn, NY is the kind of borough where you have to sound really good for people to give you a minute of their time, much less a slot on their playlist.  Collaborations are a dime a dozen, but the right collab will make the right people nod their heads and recommend you to others.  This is the case with Nemo Dilinga and F.A.M (Forever After Money) who have merged Dancehall and Trap on their single “Wine Pon Mi.”

Both F.A.M and Nemo Dilinga happened to be in the studio in Brooklyn and got to talking, which led to story telling in which F.A.M shared a scenario that happened to him.  Nemo and the engineer said “that sounds like a song,” so F.A.M went into the booth and told the story.  Nemo added authentic Jamaican vibes which explains why ladies have a weakness for Caribbean men, and voila, in comes the musical ting called “Wine Pon Mi.”

Seducing chick lyrically, F.A.M says: “girl I love the way you wine pon me / I see you got your eyes on me / I know you wanna ride with me / bun a spliff and get high with me / you can touch the sky with me / you can live and die with me ….”  With the tempo switch up, Nemo Dilinga says: “you know me / prefer the BD / no matta / still have she sweating heavy / she never ready fih style weh me unleash / under lock and key like Jet Li ….”

Musically, the track is Trap / R&B and can easily be played between sets and is perfect for mixtapes.  Both artists appear courtesy of newly formed Beckford Music Group who is based in Brooklyn.  Connect with the artists on the Gram:  @x__fam__x | @nemo_dilinga
