After topping every chart locally in 2008, and then getting an international boost by the dancing dynamics of World and Olympic triple record holder at last year's Olympics in China, Elephant Man's Nuh Linga seems just about ready to do more fancy footworks.
The single was put in rotation on New York's heavyweight station, Hot 97, two months ago and now Nuh Linga has danced its way into the Billboard Chart.
The song made its debut at number 100 on the Billboard R&B Hip Hop Singles & Tracks chart at the end of April and now sits at number 84, moving up 16 places.
"Nuh Linga is just a dynamic song . it tek the place and fans just love the dance move. Father Elephant strikes again. Mucho mucho caliente!" the flambouyant Elephant Man declared.
Elephant Man is no stranger to the Billboard charts. He has already charted with titles including Shake that Body featuring PI, Signal the Plane, Jook Gal (Wine Wine), Pon Di River Pon Di Bank, Father Elephant and Don't Stop with Janet Jackson.
The deejay received the ultimate stamp of approval from the music industry last year when he was nominated for a Grammy award for his Bad Boy/VP Records album Let's Get Physical. The 'Energy God', as he is popularly known, was nominated for the first time and while he didn't receive the award, the nomination was an excellent image booster.
Elephant Man, who is one of the performers on this year's Reggae Sumfest, is also scheduled to perform at Best of the Best showcase on Sunday at Miami's Bicentennial Park. Produced by JBJ Entertainment, this year's roster showcases artistes who are at the top of their game, in their respective genres, in Caribbean and urban music.
