He's officially been dubbed, 'The Closer', owing to his ability to recharge and hype a weary crowd into a musical frenzy, and bring the curtains down on a concert in spectacular style.

On Saturdaynight, however, at the Digicel Redemption Live concert on the Waterfront, I-Octane exchanged his usual closingpresentation in favour of a prime time performance, and what a performance it was! The King of Reggae, in whose honour the show was held, must surely have looked down and given a smile of approval.

Dressed in full red, with his usual flowing locks constrained under a red, green and gold Rasta tam, the reggae/dancehall superstar paid tribute to Bob Marley with the song Who The Cap Fit, an offering which went down very well with a crowd, which was only too willing to receive.

I-Octane then delved into his own catalogue and unleashed goodies which sent the crowd at the Waterfront into a musical frenzy. This was I-Octane at his prime time best, and they had no choice but to Buss A Blank, as his popular song says.

Performing right after veteran Freddie McGregor, who gave a memorable performance, I-Octane took charge of the stage for 20 minutes and made a wise selection from his extensive catalogue of hit tunes.

He performed songs such asGal Ting, We Run Di Flippin Place, My Story, the popularLose A Friend, Mama Jah Jahand L.O.V.E. From the reception given by the crowd, it seemed that every song was a crowd favourite, and the more he gave, the more they wanted.

He was later joined by Vanessa Bling, formerly Gaza Slim, as they both performed their popular collaborationCya Do It, which was chock-full of chemistry. The crowd loved it.

In an interview after the show, I-Octane was all smiles as he heaped praise on the organisers of the event, and stated that he was honoured to perform on a concert in Jamaica, paying tribute to reggae icon, Bob Marley.
