Clymaxx, Savage added to Sumfest Dancehall Night
Reigning Queen from TVJ's talent competition Clymaxx and Gully Squad's lyricist Savage have been added to Reggae Sumfest's Dancehall Night set for Friday, July 22, at Catherine Hall, Montego Bay.
Clymaxx and Savage will join other fierce young acts on the Sumfest stage come Dancehall Night. Ryme Minista, Masicka, Vershon, Devin Di Dakta, Jahmiel, Don Andre, Rickey Teetz, Ishawna, Teejay and Dre Zee have already created a buzz in the streets.
Josef Bogdanovich, chairman and CEO of DownSound Entertainment, producers of the festival, believe the curiosity of dancehall fans will be quenched at this year's staging.
"This is a great time for dancehall music. Jamaica has quite a few major up-and-coming acts and we have managed to secure the cream of the crop. People know their songs but may not have seen them perform. When they come to Reggae Sumfest, they'll see them in their element," says Bogdanovich.
MAJOR ATTENTION
Clymaxx's singles When Mi Ride It and Good So have received major attention in the entertainment industry. The raunchy, radical lyricist is being sought after by industry greats. Some have gone as far as to say that she may be dancehall's next Lady Saw.
"They [Reggae Sumfest organisers] gave me the opening act slot, but nonetheless, I am very grateful because Sumfest is a big show, so even if me get to go on the stage at 5 p.m., me still appreciate it and me a look forward to it. So me just a gwaan practise, work pon me voice, and thing so I can leave a good impression at Sumfest," says Clymaxx.
Dancehall reggae act Savage, popularly known for his singles Nuh Tek Chat, Doan Diss Nuh Man, Graveyard, and Mi Nah, the latter released on Jah Snow Cone's Ital Stew Riddim, has received much attention for his strong disposition. Savage has worked with many Jamaican labels and producers such as Big Ship, Don Corleon, Chimney records, DJ Frass, and Fagan Fraternity.
These young stars, coupled with greats like Beenie Man, Bounty Killer, Popcaan, I-Octane, Agent Sasco, Dexta Daps, Romain Virgo, Nesbeth, Spice, Ding Dong, Chi Ching Ching, Tanto Blacks, Harry Toddler, and Charly Blacks see Dancehall Night promising a powerful dose of high-energy and unparalleled performances for 2016.
