![]() Contributed - Hawkeye performing in Germany at a Reggae Jam Festival, recently. Veteran Reggae dancehall artiste Hawkeye signalled the world that he is back with his exceptional string of performances in the Caribbean and Europe recently. Hawkeye showcased his dancehall hits from the past and the tunes from his latest reggae album released by his management team, Swing Sung productions. The reggae album is titled Hawk-xtra. The demand and interest for this creative and witty lyrical artiste have increased immensely this year, and according to his management team he has been getting favourable responses from his overseas assignments. Hawkeye surprised German fans when he recently performed at the Reggae Jam Festival. He delivered mostly from his repertoire of past hardcore dancehall hits such as Money Making Guy, Bubble and Wine, You Nah Beg and others. His segment of reggae tunes also had the crowd in a frenzy, as he pelted lyrics from Damn, One Day, Oh I, Bigger Heads, Money Friends and Hungry. His rendition of Wayne Wade's hit Reggae single, Love you too Much (stop sending flowers to my apartment) was well received by the audience. Jason Grant, Hawkeye's manager, said that the veteran lyricist was "well focused and working extremely hard." Grant added: "We are currently working on his second reggae album, which is due for release in January 2012, and his 14-track dancehall album is almost complete and waiting for distribution." Hawkeye first shot to fame in the 1990's with his unique lyrical style. It was the 1997 effort Arrest Mi Officer on Danny Browne's Main Street label that made Hawkeye a household name throughout the Caribbean, United Kingdom, and various markets in the United States. Arrest Mi Officer was top choice on the dancehall circuit in New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Washington D.C. and Florida. During this time, Hawkeye unleashed memorable tunes like Beg Fi Him, Ooh Aah Aah and Man A Bad Man. |
