Blak Ryno throws down the Gauntlet to his Nemesis at Sting 2011

Tuesday, December 27, 2011

Following closely on the heels of stellar performances at St. Lucia’s Lovefest and Boom Christmas concert in Downtown, Kingston; dancehall artiste Blak Ryno on Tuesday morning threw down the gauntlet to his nemesis at the 2011 staging of Sting with a fiery but brief performance.

Decked in a Romiech black and silver ensemble, Ryno hit the stage in the wee hours to Tuesday morning in a no-nonsense mood with his street anthem ‘Shot A Buss’ to much fanfare. This was followed by the statement.

“a bare style dem a gimme enuh and mi come fi talk mi mind___ because dem a ramp wid mi career enuh ___ Portmore, Kingston mi can talk mi mind”

He quickly segued into the street bubbler ‘Gaza Beating Stick’ seemingly aimed at the Gaza prefect. Another statement followed suit, “dem tek mi fi idiot.. but a inna di streets mi grow” as he reeled off some additional lines from the song. This paved the way for ‘Feel A Way’ a collaborative effort with former label-mate Jahvinci who minutes later joined him on stage amping up the already charged crowd.

Moments later the two exited the stage despite attempts by emcee Nuffy and the large gathering for their return. Other highlights of the night included the much publicized clash between Kiprich & Merciless, Hurricane & Specialist, Iyara & Deva Brat, Tony Matterhorn & Twin of Twins; while I-Wayne, Etana and Bounty Killer among others all gave good accounts of themselves.

With Sting behind him Blak Ryno is now back in studio working on several projects for a the New Year.

Lady Saw returns to "Sting"

Thursday, December 23, 2010

She’s the acclaimed Muma of the dancehall who has mastered the art of delivering edgy – and sometimes downright raw—lyrics with the right amount of irreverence laced with humour. But, within her also lies her repentant alter ego, Marion Hall, the singer who can thrill a crowd at the Jamaica and Blues Festival.


However, come Sunday December 26 at Jamworld in Portmore, Marion Hall will be tucked away in bed, as the diva of the dancehall, Lady Saw mounts the Sting stage to deliver a rare performance. It’s been seven years since Saw last thrilled fans at the Boxing Day event with her hardcore lyrics, delivered in her raunchy and lovable style, and she is looking forward to a triumphant return.

The deejay, who earlier this year released her eights studio album, My Way, says her "return” to the Sting stage will be nothing short of spectacular. One of two females in the blistering ’13 Warriors’ segment, Lady Saw is approaching the upcoming event as a serious challenge.

“We know that Mr. Laing says there will be no war at Sting, but who really believe him? This is Sting and tings haffi gwaan. As far as I can see, there will be a lot of issues to be settled with some artistes,” Lady Saw expressed.

And, while Lady Saw has no intention of getting into any kind of “kas kas” with any artiste at Sting, she is busy sharpening her pencils, as she knows that Sting is not for the faint of heart.

“I’m here studying for Sting,” she said in a telephone interview from her St Mary home.
“Yeah man. This is Sting and as an artiste you have to be prepared. You can’t go with any and any ting. I’ve written some songs especially for the Sting crowd, so I’m here at home going through them, getting the delivery and those things right,” Saw explained.

She notes that she has already rehearsed with Ruff Kut and “things are shaping up good. I’m pretty excited about this upcoming Sting performance,” she said.

Meanwhile, Lady Saw is also reveling in the recent release of the official Lady Saw app, which fans are being urged to download and get connected to the Queen of Dancehall. She explained that this new app is one way to get the latest Lady Saw music, videos, pictures, show info and much more.

Saw also has several new ringtone’s available including, He’s At My House featuring EVE her newest single off of her My Way album.

“The app is very cool and takes Lady Saw right up there with cutting edge technology,” she sated.

As for Sting, she said with a lot of sass, “A we seh Party Till December … so we are gonna make this December show a party to remember.”

Vybz Kartel vs Bounty Killer and Mavado at Sting? $9 million

Thursday, December 3, 2009

Gaza boss Vybz Kartel has made it clear that he wants to engage both Bounty Killer and Mavado simultaneously in a lyrical showdown on stage to mark the 26th anniversary of the popular Sting concert on December 26th (Boxing Day) at Jamworld, Portmore. Among the Portmore emperor's list of demands was that he wanted U$100,000 (approximately J$9 million) from the Supreme promoters to battle the two alliance deejays at the same time.

"Mi waan clash Bounty and the Barba at the same time, mi ready fi deal wid it, but Laing have to pay me U$100,000 fi clash dem, and the band we use have to be Ruff Kut or it nah go happen" - Vybz Kartel added.

On Tuesday, November 24th, Sting had its 26th Anniversary launch at the Pegasus Hotel, though none of the three entertainers were in attendance the mood was still high and climaxed with some heated exchange from graffiti artiste turn deejay L.A. Lewis and Mr. G much to the delight of the fans. The two are currently embroiled in a court case after Mr. G allegedly used his license firearm to assault L.A Lewis over some unsettled payments.

Though many waited with bated breath during the presentation for an answer as to whether or not the promoters were going to grant Kartel his wish the answer unfortunately was not forthcoming. Promoter Isaiah Laing however did highlight that this year would not be another Gully-Gaza clash as that was done last year and what transpires from here onwards will be determined by the atmosphere leading closer to the event.
