Brookland Entertainment recording artist Beenie Man received the royal treatment at this past weekend's 2009 Reggae Sumfest in Montego Bay, Jamaica, as he was officially crowned "King of the Dancehall" by the festival organizers.
Veteran dancehall queen Lady Saw presented Beenie Man, born Moses Davis, with a crown and robe during a show-stopping performance in front of a crowd of 30,000 on Thursday night.
"I'd like to thank [Sumfest Executive Director] Johnny Gourzong and the Reggae Sumfest staff for supporting me all these years and for honoring my legacy," said Beenie.
The Kingston native will release his 19th studio album, The Legend Returns, this fall. The album features the single "Gimmi Gimmi."
Beenie Man will also celebrate his 30-year anniversary as a performer with a star-studded concert in Kingston on August 22 featuring Rick Ross, Hurricane Chris, Heavy D and more. For more information, visit http://www.brooklandmusic.com/.
