MUNGA HONOREBEL AND DEMARCO MAKE THEIR DEBUT IN NY’S GRITTY GARRISON
New York - The ‘Gangsta Ras’ Munga Honorebel and Dancehall’s latest gangster lyricist Demarco will journey into the belly of New York’s gritty garrison on April 11th to make their Brooklyn debut at C-PAC. ‘Gangstas Do Dem Own Thing’ will feature the two Jamaican chart-toppers alongside Brooklyn’s reigning Dancehall ‘garrison gaad’ Fats.
Captivating the industry with a Hip Hop infused Dancehall swagger, Munga’s “Bad From Mi Born,” and “Earthquake” were two of 2007’s street anthems that propelled him to the forefront. Following up with tunes like “Take My Place,” and “Wine Pon It,” Munga continues to rank at the top of the new generation of Dancehall stars, making him one of the most sought after performance headliners. Demarco, who’s “Fallen Soldiers,” hit the top of the Dancehall charts in early 2008, has recently been announced as one of the nominees in the Caribbean Urban Music Awards’ ‘Best Newcomer’ category. Both artists will be joining Brooklyn-bred artist Fats, also know as Fatta, whose “Real Bad Man” has become a staple on the radio and in the streets of Brooklyn.
Following on the heels of the success of the Brooklyn debut of Mavado, Serani, and Bugle, dubbed ‘On the Rock,’ promoter Johnny Wonder of 21st Productions is predicting that ‘Gangsta’s Do Dem Own Thing’ will be another sell-out show.
“Most promoters have their shows in Queens or Manhattan and forget about Brooklyn,” states Wonder. “They forget that it’s Brooklyn that really sets the trend around here in terms of Dancehall, Hip Hop, and all forms of urban music. If you want the cutting edge in music in New York, especially Dancehall, come to the hood. Come to Brooklyn.”
‘Gangsta’s Do Dem Own Thing’ featuring Munga Honorebel, Demarco, and Fats will be held on Friday, April 11th at C-PAC in Brooklyn. The event will be hosted by Noah and Steve Austin, and music will be provided by Massive B, Thunderbolt, Gully Squad, Noah, and Tek-9 Movements. Advanced tickets will be on sale at $30.
