Saturday Hustle – August 7
The exciting Smirnoff Dream Weekend in Negril, where jocks hypnotised patrons with the hottest tracks of the summer, still has us grooving… here’s a rundown of the playlist.
Wifey Walk Out, ZJ Liquid
Liquid is more widely known for his skills as a ZJ on Zip 103 FM, but is steadily showing listeners another side of his musical personality. His recent track had the ladies ‘walking out’ on hearing the first line “wifey walk out and matey stan’ up”.
Straight Jeans and Fitted, Vybz Kartel
Still riding high on his hit Clarks, Vybz Kartel has released a follow-up single entitled, Straight Jeans and Fitted.
I’m Ok (Rum & Redbull), Beenie Man
‘The Doctor’ has always delivered infectious party songs and as expected, worked the dance floor every time this track came on.
My Cupp, Richie Loop
What song could be more appropriate for a party weekend than Richie Loop’s catchy single, My Cupp?
All I Do Is Win, DJ Khaled featuring T-Pain, Rick Ross & Snoop Dogg
This high-energy hip-hop track that had everyone singing at the top of their voices with their hands in the air.
Wave Your Flag, K’naan
Somalian hip-hop artiste K’naan came to prominence with this Tuff-Gong produced track in 2008. Two years later, it served as the World Cup anthem. Not surprisingly, it was also somewhat of an anthem during the Negril party weekend.
One Man, Vanessa Bling/Gaza Slim featuring Vybz Kartel
‘Di Teacha’s’ newest protégée Vanessa Bling aka Gaza Slim declares that she is a one-man-woman with this humorous song in which Vybz Kartel is also featured.
Your Love, Nicki Minaj
Believe it or not, this R&B-flavoured track by Young Money rapper/singer/songwriter Nicki Minaj was also a hit at Smirnoff Dream Weekend.
OMG, Usher featuring Will.I.am
After an unforgettable appearance at the just-capped Reggae Sumfest, it is hardly surprising that the club-ready OMG was one of the crowd-favourites.
