Ninja Kid Releases Provocative Song ‘Tongue Ring’

Thursday, January 19, 2012

Riding high with a cadre of hits such as: ‘Cups High’, ‘Menke’, ‘Internet Bad Boy’ and the Christopher Birch produced ‘Have Nuh Gal Like We’, established entertainer Ninja Kid has released his first official single for 2012.

The song titled ‘Tongue Ring Shot’ is a very provocative number dedicated to the ladies who are wearers of the trendy body art.

Kid, whose given name is Ojukwu Simpson credits the current tongue ring and body piercing trend as the inspiration behind the composition.

“Almost every girl you meet or see nowadays have some kind of piercing and quite a few of them pierce their tongue. So I just sing a song about it and highlight what they doing and them seems to like it.”

Produced by Marcus Myrie, son of incarcerated Reggae superstar Buju Banton, the song has already found its way onto the FM airwaves and local party circuit despite being only days old.

“I played the songs for a wide cross-section of females to get feedback and they said they loved it, so based on that the decision was taken to release it as my first official single for 2012.” – Kid intimated.

Plans are also in motion for an accompanying video in the weeks ahead.

Meanwhile, Ninja Kid currently managed by Darkcide International has been working assiduously with a number of A-list producers such as: Stephen McGregor, Christopher Birch, DJ Smurf, Seanizzle, Marcus Myrie, Truckback Records, Young Veterans, Q45 Productions and Ballers Production among others.

Jah Cure kicked up at storm at the Livin Room nightclub

Friday, June 24, 2011

It was Father’s Day, but the night belonged to the women in Arima. Reggae singer Siccature Alcock, aka Jah Cure, performed at the Livin Room nightclub last Sunday before scores of people. The artiste, who was released from jail on July 28, 2007, after serving eight years in prison, has since been unstoppable.

The singer hit the stage at 3.47 am on Monday morning and the women went wild.He sang, Love Is, Longing For and True Reflections, which showed his unique voice and lyrical ability. His mentor Beres Hammond must certainly be proud of the 33-year-old.

Because his half hour performance was packed with his loved hits, it seemed like he performed for a lifetime. He also soothed the audience with hits from his 2008 album—Universal Cure. Minister of Sports and Youth Affairs Anil Roberts, who is contesting the post of political leader for the Congress of the People, was also at the party. He did use the opportunity to tell T&T Guardian, “That is why they don’t like me.” He then asked: “Have you ever seen a (government) minister who mingles with the people like this on a regular basis?”

Starting the live entertainment was Tobago-born gospel/reggae singer Positive. Positive, who has not released a hit in some time showed that his previous songs have not lost favour. He sang Never Let go, Hold me Closely and Only Jah Alone.
