RDX for GFC Ground on Mash Night

RDX

The excitement of Mashramani 2013 continues into the night with Jamaica’s hottest dancehall duo, RDX!
Stereo Sonics’ annual Mash Jam at the GFC Ground will feature this dynamic act which is sure to keep the party alive even after the floats would have long left Vlissengen and Irving Streets.

RDX consists of deejay Renigade whose real name is Carlton Williams and singer Andre Bedwar who is also known as Delomar.
After bursting on to the Jamaican music scene in 2003 with the group Xsytment, Renigade and Delomar evolved into RDX in 2006 and made quite an impact in the dancehall underground, but it was not until early 2007 that RDX really broke through.
The hit song ‘Dance’ brought a new energy to the music selectors’ CD pouches and the sequel, ‘Everybody dance’ is right up there with its predecessor, hard thumping beat, catchy melodies and highlights the greatest dance moves fresh from the streets of Jamaica. This momentum continued with hits like ‘Bend Over’, ‘Daggerin’, ‘Jump’, ‘Broad Out’ and ‘Mad Boss’.
Stereo Sonics has hosted this event for seven consecutive years and is known for featuring some of the hottest artistes such as Mavado, Popcaan, Tony Matterhorn, Kiprich, etc. Also, Stereo Sonics makes certain not to exclude Guyana’s local talent and is known for featuring the best DJs at this event.

Tickets will be available at both White Castle Fish Shop locations, Nigel Supermarket and Ashmins Trading and cost $1,500. Tickets at the gate of the event will cost $2,000.

Timeka Marshall and Busy Signal goes ‘Doggy Style’

Guyanese Songstress Timeka Marshall and Jamaican Dancehall Reggae artist Busy Signal are tearing up the charts with fresh out the oven ‘Doggy Style’!
Collaborating with the artistes to produce this mega tune was Major Lazer, a musical project by DJ/Producer Diplo. This particular mastermind has worked with the likes of Beyonce, J. Cole and No Doubt among others.

With hot, saucy lyrics combined with the sounds of the So Shifty Mix, Timeka and Busy Signal are sure to create havoc whether on the street corners, the clubs or live concerts.
The song had hit YouTube last week and generated quite a buzz as several persons took to their Facebook pages, reposting the audio and as observed, ‘Doggy Style’ has been getting nothing but great feedback. Fans have even been asking about the release of a video but this is yet to be determined.

The two got together in 2009 and produced ‘Feel Fah’ which rocked the charts. It is anticipated that ‘Doggy Style’ will outdo the previous collaboration.
Marshall had been busy in the studio during 2012 with productions such as ‘Kisses Softly’, ‘Come Over’ featuring Konshens and more recently ‘Undercover Lover’. She has come a long way and worked with some of the biggest names in the industry such as Beenie Man, Kes the Band and Peetah Morgan.
Meanwhile, Busy Signal’s album, Reggae Music Again, which was released in April 2012, was placed at number seven on Welcome to the top 25 albums of 2012, a chart compiled by music pundits at BBC Music. According to a release from the station, the table is based on votes from “a wide selection of BBC Music critics, DJs, and presenters from Radio 1, Radio 2, Radio 3, Radio 1Xtra, 6 Music, BBC Scotland and BBC Ulster”.

Jamzone to explore N.Y.C., Miami, Canada and England!

Guyanese overseas and foreigners who have never gotten the opportunity to experience Jamzone may finally be able to do so as organizers are seriously looking at the prospects of taking Jamzone international!

Chief Executive Officers of local entertainment giant Hits and Jams, Rawle Ferguson and Kerwin Bollers, are currently in talks with promoters from New York City, Miami, Canada and England to take Guyana’s biggest event to these parts.

Of course, these will have to be hosted at different time periods throughout 2013 and our local supporters will not be disappointed as a result of this massive extension. Jamzone summer break will be hosted in Guyana during its usual dates with a full line up of great acts and events.
By taking the product outside the local market, Hits and Jams believe that our country will be promoted on a higher level and the goal of broadening the tourism arena will eventually be reached.

In the startup period of the business, the small team aimed to create a beach atmosphere and focused their energies on doing just that for their first attempt at Jamzone Summer Break in 2000.
Now, more than a decade later, Jamzone has moved from a simple one day beach affair to a week-long (and soon to be two week long) string of events, ranging from International Pageants to Jazz Festivals. International artistes have touched these shores to perform at concerts featured for Jamzone and today, Hits and Jams is highly recognized for the achievement of Jamzone.

Unforgettable ‘II’ Postponed until December 26, 2013

The Hits and Jams Entertainment Group regrets to inform the public that the ‘Unforgettable II’Concert which was slated for December 26 has been postponed until next year due to time constraints after headlining act, Chris Brown, withdrew his performance.

Plans for the concert, which was to be hosted at the Guyana National Stadium on Boxing Day, were pending after the R&B Superstar’s management team notified the promoters that Brown will no longer be performing in Guyana.

As a result, the HJ team was dashed into negotiations with other international acts since a substandard replacement was not wanted. However, due to inadequate time to lay out agreements and contracts, the body was forced to postpone the concert.
With a year to organize ‘Unforgettable II’, now slated for December 26, 2013, Hits and Jams promises its supporters to make the event a grand one.

Chris Brown pulls out of Guyana Show over protest concerns, Replacement acts being negotiated

The Hits and Jams Entertainment Group regrets to inform the public that the Management of International Artiste Chris Brown has decided to pull the artiste from his performance in Guyana which was scheduled for Boxing Day, December 26, 2012 at the Guyana National Stadium.

Chris Brown’s Management team expressed concerns over recent media reports about protests over the artiste’s intended visit to Guyana and his performance here. The management team in a correspondence to HJ Entertainment said they do not feel comfortable at this stage allowing the
multi award winning singer to come to Guyana as they have been following reports in the local and international press about the protests over his Guyana appearance.

Over the weekend, the singer’s performance in Europe was smeared with widespread protests. His team appears to be making efforts to avoid similar protests. His management team has indicated that they remain interested in having the singer perform in Guyana but just not at this time under the current circumstances.

Hits and Jams Entertainment intends to still host the “Unforgettable II” show on December 26 but with a different headline act. Already negotiations have started with a number of leading American R&B artistes and we will keep the media and the public up-to-date with the developments.

Timeka Marshal teams up with Konshens for ‘Come over’ single

Timeka Marshall
Timeka Marshall

In the past years we’ve seen and heard Timeka Marshall alone and with other regional acts and then a brief silence followed but at present she’s teamed up with Jamaican sensation Konshens and the combination is electrifying.

Fans can look out for the new projects such as the Under Cover lady Video with a prequel to follow. It tells the all too familiar reality story for some women who have played the secret role of mistresses… The songs tells the story of a woman being tired f being the best kept secret while the video contradicts the message where an exotic dancer is heartbroken…the rest is to be seen in the prequel coming soon.

But that’s just the tip of the ice berg in the world of Timeka as she’s also got a few new songs such as the dancehall Caribbean up tempo Si (see) How MI Hot on the Love Bug rhythm by producers Washroom entertainment out of Jamaica. That song is already tearing up the hot 97 airwaves in New York. Then she has a song titled ‘I’ll be there for you’ on the focus rhythm, Kisses softly on the 9.58 rhythm, Steeling feeling on the Sweet ride rhythm and the new single titled ‘Come over’ produced by the subkonshus label. The later has been doing great on various charts and the video shoot is set for Timeka’s return to Jamaica. The director for that video is Gareth Cobran whose work with Timeka in the past include Feel fah and Secretes/ Hush with Timeka and Peeth Morgan.
As the year draws to a close and the New Year dawns Timeka is working to release several videos that will certainly leave tongues wagging with requests for more.

What started out as a by chance entry into the GTT Jingle competition in 2006 and a follow up release of the separate song has come full circle for Timeka Marhall. This Guyanese eye candy with countless releases to her name is not just in the music for singing but also is a writer who has co-wrote hits not just for herself. Her collaborative sojourns have seen her pairing up with Busy signal, Peetah Morgan and Skinny Fabulous. And word is she’s already done recording collaborations with Romain Virgo, Laza Morgan of ‘one by one’ fame, D’Major and Konshens.

The six years ride thus far in the industry has been good for me and I know for a fact that its definitely been about growth… I’ve grown and the name as well as the accomplishments has been many as I’ve been able to take kind the council the years from producers and artistes alike that I’ve encountered. She has worked in Jamaica, Barbados, Antigua, Canada, the USA and Trinidad.
Ultimately Timeka is based in Jamaica these days and as she progresses she says ‘Sky is the limit not just for me but for the work I do.

11 make Inaugural Miss Region 3 Shortlist – Pageant set for December 21

Delegates for Miss Guyana Region 3 Pageant

After tedious assessing of applications and interviews the Miss Region 3 committee has arrived at a shortlist of 11 beauties who shall contest the coveted title for a chance to take home in excess of $800,000 in cash and prizes.

The training and grooming of the delegates has started under the guidance of Classique dancer Paul Charles and efforts are in train to have the delegates sponsored. The saching ceremony is set for Tuesday at the Aracari Resort. It is the delegates have joined the pageant with the main purpose of winning the pageant and ultimately entering the Miss Guyana Universe or Miss Guyana World pageant to prove that Guyana also has beauty ambassadors who are capable from Region 3.
Aged 17-25 they describe themselves as pretty, intelligent, outgoing and having the drive to be a beauty ambassador. They all hail from region3 and answered the call for the opportunity to shine, win fabulous prizes valued at more than $800,000.

The road to the staging of the first Miss Guyana region 3 pageant started several weeks ago under the stewardship of Extreme Entertainment headed by businessman Terrence Evans of number one canal. His team includes Onetta Chisholm Administrator, Classique ace dancer Paul Charles who is the artistic director and Stefan Granville and another businessman. “Our aim is to find that one young lady from one of the many villages in region three and motivate her to pursue her dreams to hopefully be a true region three representative at any of the national pageants while rewarding her with lucrative prizes at the same time, says Charles.
Explaining the rationale Evans says he is investing in excess of $2.5m because he is sure that region 3 has beautiful, talented and educated enough women who also should be recognized and possibly groomed into being a national representative at the two main local pageants to win and be a Guyanease beauty ambassador Internationally. “We have found 11 beauties who have began to go through their paces with Mr.Charles to compete for the title because too often we see women from other parts of Guyana winning pageants and region 3 is not represented. We want to change that while bringing some entertainment to the region and if all goes well we will make this an annual affair so that other regions can join the train to take pageantry to the next level where each region would want to have their best beauty ambassador step up to the plate and have a real national pageant to select Guyana’s best to the international arena.”
For further information persons can also contact the Artistic director Mr. Charles on 6632750 or Mr. Terrence on 6936748. The team is specific in stating that this is a serious venture that would see the young women being respected, trained and celebrated and they are specific in stating that parents have no need not fear anyone on the committee with their daughters for this life changing opportunity to be the Miss Guyana Region 3 Queen as all involved have integrity.
