I-Octane, Sizzla ruled New York Link Up Spring Break

I-Octane

Last Saturday night, the Long Bay Beach in Negril saw some stellar performances from some of dancehall's finest. The event, New York Link Up Spring Break, saw each performer, one after the other showing that they were there to ensure dancehall fans had a great time and that they did.

However, standouts for the night proved to be the consistent Digicel brand ambassador I-Octane, Sizzla and Singer J.

Coming on stage at 3:15 a.m., I-Octane kicked off his performance with Nah Wash before introducing his signature hit Lose A Friend.

"I'm not singing this song for myself tonight, it's dedicated to Bounty and Miss Ivy," he said. And with Bounty in the house, the song was a way for fans to share in the Killer's grief.

The follow-up song seemed a given, Mama You Alone. Burning Bridge, Jah Jah, Puff It and I A Cry should have put the cap on his half-hour performance, but his fans would have none of that!

I-Octane was called back onstage four times before they reluctantly accepted that the show had to go on.

Sizzla was in a fiery mood and he showed it by 'bunning' out a lot of 'unrighteousness' during his performance. With songs such as Get To The Point, Praise Jah and Just One of Those Days, he kept the massive on a high.

Following a good stint from KipRich, Beenie Man was next. He had no problem keeping his fans entertained. Other great performances came from the likes of Popcaan and stablemate Tommy Lee.

Bounty Killer brought the curtains down on the show in fine style.

Earlier in the evening there were some good performances from Potential Kidd, Lisa Hyper, Singer J as well as upcoming acts out of Westmoreland.

Khago also delivered well with songs like Blood A Boil and Tun Up Di Ting.
