Keri Hilson, Ne Yo, Toni Braxton, Nas and Jazmine Sullivan set for Reggae Sumfest in Jamaica

This year’s staging of the annual reggae festival, Reggae Sumfest will feature the biggest names in reggae, dancehall and Caribbean music. Added to the roster are top US acts including Keri Hilson, Ne Yo, Toni Braxton, rapper Nas and newcomer Jazmine Sullivan.

The event will be the maiden performance in Jamaica for Braxton, Sullivan, Nas and Hilson. Ne Yo last performed in Jamaica in 2007.

Hilson has been burning up the airwaves in Jamaica with hits including Knock You Down, while Nas is known for his large catalogue of hits. Ne Yo’s hit streak has been running unchecked on the Jamaican airwaves with Mad, Miss Independent and Closer. Sullivan intrigued the Jamaican population when she paid homage to reggae with the number Need U Bad.

Braxton has been a favorite among Jamaicans ever since she exploded on the musical radar in 1993 with Another Sad Love Song.

Beenie Man, Damian and Stephen Marley, Bounty Killer, Mavado, Serani, and Lady Saw are among the dancehall and reggae giants who are billed to perform at Reggae Sumfest.

Reggae Sumfest 2009 runs from July 19-25 in Montego Bay.
