Deejay Vybz Kartel left the island yesterday to perform at an event hosted by former West Indian cricketing great Courtney Walsh in Bridgetown, Barbados.
The deejay said he was eager to attend the event which is being highly anticipated by Barbadians.
I am looking forward to the chance to represent with one of the greatest cricketers in the history of the sport, so I am going to enjoy my trip to War-bados, he said.
The show will be held today.
In the meantime, the deejay has voiced a song dubbed the Tek Buddy Sequel on DJ Liquids new rhythm. The song has the catchy hook, tek f---k iinna yu bombo gal that is sure to make it a hit in hardcore dancehall circles.
Asked why it had taken him almost five years to do a follow-up song to his monster hit, he quipped:
If I had done it before, it would have been corny, tunes are like DNA, there can be only that can dominate an era and Tek Buddy last two year locally and about three years ah foreign. That was a tune that came along at the right time, just when Passa Passa did start up and it captured the mood and essence of that time, so it had to run its course before I did a follow-up.
The deejays Whine Pon You single is now #13 on the Richie B charts, and is storming up the RE TV dancehall charts to join his other hits, Baby Daddy and Beyonce Wine which occupied the pole position for four weeks.
