Jamaican artistes, Gangsta Ras Munga Honorebel and Dancehalls latest gangster lyricist Demarco will journey into the belly of New Yorks 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 Brooklyns reigning Dancehall garrison gaad Fats.
Captivating the industry with a Hip Hop infused Dancehall swagger, Mungas Bad From Mi Born, and Earthquake were two of 2007s 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, whos 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 Gangstas 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 its 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.
Gangstas 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.
