History was made when for the first time in New York, Zen Media (Zen & GLK Entertainment), in correlation with Mello Vibes found success at Queens famous night club, Amazura. The night consisted of more music less interference.
Music was handed down by: Glamour Wayne (Gemini Disco), Richie Poo Silverhawk), DJ Norie (Power 105FM) and Rencie Kolours; but it was Road International of (Irie Jam Radio), DJ Roy, who lead the way with music moving people to the dance floor doing the electric slide.. for which everyone had fun. By 2:00AM the place was jumping, thereafter we wondered how, for a group of people who not that these promoters were new to the game but, this was there first collaboration–knew how to throw a party and draw the community (crowd); but then, one had to pay homage to the caliber of DJs and Artists on hand.
We also had to take into account that this collaboration is still in its infancy, baby stage according to one of its promoter’s; so hat off to this big New York success, a great start to say the least.
Kudos, to the three artist, who carried-off the show and two fire sparks who held their own. Wayne Wonder was spectacular, his performances were always well taken. This, veteran artist knows what his people like,when it comes to music; and gave them exactly what they came to hear. He came with his catalog, much respect. The big man, Michael Palmer, gave us a taste of his litany (musically speaking) and wild the crowd. Homage to him, because he was not on the roster to perform but helped out. Frisco Kid, came and got the respect he deserved; he held his own and stimulated the crowd . He showed that… not only could he sing big tunes, which he has in his bag but, that he quite possibly be sitting on volumes more pending. New artist Briggy, serve up his dish and wowed the crowd. He stated, “I am comforted to be mentioned in the same sentence and put on the same caliber has these artist; people I grew up listening to and grow to respect. It is something special, to be here on the same stage with them…I’m honored.” Briggy, certainly held his own. The crowd loved him.
Fire sparked, when Spragga Benz hit the stage, who were sitting down got up. He was the life of the crowd and brought much energy with him which was contagious. Spiting raw and conscious music is always his forte and he does it very well and although he came with his A game and was pouring it out royally he was unfortunately cut short because of time.
Sky Juice, I purposely left for last because what can I say, he pretty much helped himself. Sky Juice is an entertainer and all could see that he certainly came to entertain. I don’t think that when he left the stage, there was one dried eye in the club. He had everyone crying, reeling with laughter. I cannot explain his artistic work to you, you have to see him in action for yourself. Be fore warned, if entertaining his what you want he will certainly do that for you. This is a guy who knows how to use a crowd to his advantage and make you not notice because of his antics and artistic pews of how to hold an audience’s attention, this I believe is a gift. Sky Juice is an atisans of rare form. To put it mildly, he is excellence at his craft and was outstanding at entertaining the crowd.
