A major showdown is in the works for Magnum Sting 2014. Supreme Promotions has already secured four of the“baddest” stars that are presently shining in the dancehall space. Tommy Lee Sparta is signed off to bring “Bay Badness” to Jamworld, his sound-a-like, Gage the “walking gun” is also confirmed, Western heavy weight Ryme Minista has already been contracted leaving the self-proclaimed “youngest and baddest”, Alkaline to finalize by sealing the deal and proving himself on dancehall’s ultimate stage.
The Sting stage has been a testing ground over the years; this is where the biggest stars solidify themselves as icons and become leaders of the game. Participating in clashes, win, lose or draw gains respect and additional credit from fans across the globe: Shabba Ranks, Ninjaman, Supercat, Mad Cobra, Bounty Killer, Beenie Man and more recently Vybz Kartel and Mavado can attest to this fact.
This year highlights a new generation of stars, who are all ready for the biggest challenge of their careers. According to Tommy Lee Sparta, “Last year mi could easy well tek on Kiprich inna the clash but the accident and broke foot hold me back pon mi cotchy. Right now mi hear the crow them a cry, so them ready to die… some man a talk big, so them better can back it. Gage you better stay home, Alkaline you seh you a the youngest but we will see who a the baddest.”
Gage’s team shares the same perspective in relation to clashing. According to his agent, Cornelius Daley, “Gage a the walking gun, anything test dead. We nah back! Alkaline is just the youngest and foolest. Anybody put them foot cross dead, Tommy Lee, Alkaline anybody.”
Ryme Minista has been creating havoc from the Western region and is skyrocketing in prominence. “On the battle field you have to be prepared for anything that come cross. Anybody anytime, mi ready,” Ryme Minista answered, when asked about participating in a clash.
He is currently fully booked for the month of December, which includes his first overseas engagement in Costa Rica. He also has a hot new collaboration with Mavado titled, “Kill and Get Weh” that is already a hit in the streets.
On Boxing Day this new breed is among the most anticipated to hit the stage. They will be starring in prime time and will be in full gear at the place where the baddest rules, Magnum Sting.

Dropping another one of his mash ups is Toronto based DJ Fella. Titled “Plans Fi Yuh“, this utilizes Singer Kim Kelly’s “Plans Fi Yuh” and Alkaline’s “Touch You“. A good effort here from DJ Fella as these two songs have been quite popular in Dancehall circles. Looking forward to more Mash ups. What do you think?

Switching up the gender role today is Deejay Spice with her new video. Titled “Like A Man“, Spice speaks on the gender inequality in Dancehall and asks if she would be respected more if she was a male deejay and dropped different lyrics. She also introduces “Splice“, the male version of Spice which was rather hilarious and shows her on camera diversity. If she deejayed like Vybz Kartel or tatted her eyes like Alkaline, would she be respected more? Interesting music video from the deejay.
