In My Opinion!
(Kingston,
Jamaica 8th, Sept. 2010) Some people are confused as to what is
normal versus abnormal. Some Dancehall
music (the ones that constantly disrespect women) and technology among other
things have perfectly created a, disconnect between women and men in
general. It is trendy to ‘chit-chat’ on
smartphones but indeed quite interesting to see party goers, looking swag, with
their heads down, fingers busy sending messages and photos to friends on the
dance floor while a party is in full swing!
Parties were meant to be the place one goes to unleash, dance up a
storm, get intoxicated and have fun. But
these days having fun has taken on a whole new meaning. Is it that the DJS have failed? Is it that the music has lost its
appeal? Is it that we have become a
people who now walk with our heads down and totally unaware of what is
happening around us? Have our men lost interest in the ladies? Have our ladies lost interest in our men?
What will it take to regain self consciousness and purpose? Whew! In my opinion
one place to start is with the artistes writing once again, music that
celebrates the beautiful union of a woman and a man then the djs could go back
to promoting male/female union and maybe, just maybe, bring back some magic in
the parties.

Upcoming Entertainers
Bittah DJ Currency & DJ Four-Five Outstanding Hometown Performance!
Bittah DJ Currency & DJ Four-Five Outstanding Hometown Performance!
Not many people take interest in an upcoming
artiste’s journey. Usually, an artiste background is known after he/she becomes
a public figure. While it is challenging
for an upcoming artiste to get public attention in the early stages of his
career, there are some who believes that it is a deliberate attempt to sabotage
their growth. However, the challenge of
getting public attention is usually brought on by the artiste themselves as
they fight harder to convince the masses of their uniqueness and in so doing,
the best place to start is home.

Upcoming artiste Bittah has bridged the first
challenging phase of his career convincing his hometown folks that he is unique
and made for the Dancehall/Reggae industry. Last Saturday, September 4th,
Bittah rocked his hometown crowd with an outstanding performance at the annual
Young Money Promotions house party event held in Red Hills, St. Andrew. Working
with DJ Currency and DJ Four Five who set the tone for his performance, Bittah
could do no wrong. After being called to
perform, the young artiste hit the stage with his popular T.G.I.F. Tremma House
produced track and literally flattened the venue. He then dropped another hometown favorite,
“Nah Buy Gal” to thunderous uproar and from there on, the applauses were so
overwhelming one could hardly hear his introduction of the other tunes. Bittah’s 35 minutes performance was well
received and left the young artiste feeling quite satisfied that he has made
his mark in his community especially after many questioned his ability when it
was discovered that his ambition was to become an Internationally acclaimed
Dancehall/Reggae artiste.

DJ Currency and DJ Four-Five also “stole the night”
during the playoff segment at the same event and gave a performance that left
patrons in awe! It is clear that the DJs
have matured over the past few months and the experience gained from spinning
on N-A-GETIC Radio has now manifested. A
DJ Currency/DJ Four-Five typical playoff set involves Four-Five selecting while
Currency ‘hype’ the party. Both work in
unison to bring about the real party vibe that keeps party goers off the
smartphones.
