Congratulations to Rootsman, winners of the Wanted 2014 Soundclash @ SVG Lounge (07.26.14) featuring Rootsman vs Step A Choice. I will say that despite underdogs Step A Choice gave it their all, they were simply not in the same class as Rootsman on this night. I have often criticized Ranger (Rootsman MC) for his old skool, uptight style of clashing, where he’s lacked showmanship and a sense of humor while performing. The case was not the same on this night, [...]

The Redemption Past vs Present Supercat concert was very much anticipated, and in the end I'm glad I went. It seemed so long ago that I interviewed this very same artist is the basements of CKLN Radio, a time when this artist was more or less in his prime. The Supercat that we saw at Sound Academy was a much more laid back Supercat. A bit older now, and seemingly nothing to prove, Supercat, after taking the stage near 1:30 [...]

Enjoy these pics - Cocoa Tea in concert at Sound Academy on July 12th 2014 (I'm guessing that the show had about 750 people in attendance).  The Rub-a-Dub Concert event also featured Luciano as co-headliner.  Luciano, as expected, performed his usual great show hi-lighted by on-stage acrobatics and a golden voice that again sounded just as good live as it does in the recording studios. I chilled during Luciano's performance, and there are no pics of his live performance offered [...]

See Hot Pics/Review–Permit Fi Bury King Turbo Vs Younghawk @ SVG 06.20.14!

There's no need for a long review here - what happened was exactly what was expected. King Turbo went up against the mighty Younghawk Sound, and when it was all said and done, Younghawk prevailed winning 3 Rounds - One with no need for Tune-fi-Tune.  I say these words with no levels of disrespect - but Clash fans already knew the outcome before arriving at the venue to see Younghawk trample over a once feared King Turbo Sound who did [...]

I had fun at this concert, not only because I was the DJ alongside Spex, and not only because I was photographing the event, but because this kind of show was out of my league of expertise, and I'm always excited to 'learn'. I normally would not choose to attend a Mykal Rose/Junior Reid concert since I was never a Black Uhuru fan or fan of either solo artists - nothing wrong with these musical icons, it's just I'm more [...]

The Kool Haus was well attended for BYB-and the massive there had a good time from start to finish, taking in the likes of none other than the King of Dancehall-Beenie Man, alongside the very popular Soca artist Lil Rick, in concert on the same stage, same night.  Although I've never attended a Soca concert before, I will say after first impression, that Lil Rick is an artist truly in his element. Full of energy, Lil Rick delivered a great [...]

QQ and Vegas live in concert - hmm. I'd seen Vegas so many times before, and QQ as far as I was concerned was a 'girls' artist, meaning man don't really dance to his tunes, still I found myself gravitating to this crowd. Worse, I had a friend who was aware of my absenteeism, and he had insisted that it was time for both of us to go back into the trenches of the dancehall, or risk loosing touch with [...]

King Turbo and I have a lot of history. This Sound was birthed in Scarborough in 1988-1989, and has since then gone on to represent Canada on an international level with one of the most expensive dubplate collections possessed by any Clash Sound (rumored to be worth close to three-quarter of a million dollars!). When I first introduced to the Sound, it was a young Ricky Turbo (Metro) and Andrew (Slingshot) that were masters of the controls. These two entrepreneurs [...]

Rebel Tone Wins Modern Warfare Soundclash-Read Review/See Pics/Listen-Download Audio

The Modern Warfare Soundclash was interesting to say the least, taking place Friday January 31st at Hickory House in Scarborough. With a re-vamped lineup, this clash that was supposed to be a 4-sound clash featuring Excel 1 Sound Vs. Mystic Vs. Cumtraxx Vs. Twin Star, but after Mystic and Excel 1 “dropped out”, Rebel Tone, with little time to prepare, was slotted in to replace them, now making it a 3-way clash .  Despite all the commotion, it seemed people [...]
