The capital city, Kingston is very different to the rest of Jamaica. The pace is faster and the girls are fitter (jokes). Nothing really starts until mid afternoon. We were waiting for new artist Mr Perfect (Handcart Boy) at Bobby Digital's studio for over an hour just to learn he was now at Stone Love's studio! Rather than chase him down there we headed to meet producer Snowcone, who is responsible for the Applause & Rice 'n' Peas rhythms. All I can say is "master at work!". He told me some very enlightening stuff - check out my show on Sunday for the full SP. From there we went to a small dub cutting studio called Oxygen to meet Mr Cup clash, Panther. His confidence was very high for the forthcoming clashes, trust!!!

Throughout the day we had been rolling with Greg Hinz from Spragga's Red Square Family. He took us to Stone Love. When we got there Anthony B was holding court, also on sight was Mr Perfect (finally caught up to him!), Goofy, Lexuss, General B, Tony Matterhorn, Anthony Cruz, Richie Feelings and a whole heap more. The vibes there were electric. Jokes were flying from every angle, I had a great time there! I knew I was in the place to be once I saw Robbo rolling in with his box of rice and fish in hand...

The travelling ccontinued - this time we hooked up with Delano from the Renaissance Crew in Mona, Uptown Kingston. Once there I got a preview of some forthcoming material but his computer started playing up, so I left with Bo diddly... not even any acapellas for my remixes!!! Damn! Don;t watch that - I'll be back for them later in the week. Upcoming artist Busy Signal and local musician Shiah Coore who works with Don Corleon was also on the ends. Look out for fresh material from them as well. You gotta hear what Delano had to say about the revoicing a new Sean Paul tune - the only place you can actually hear the tune is my show this Sunday - you know this!

It's been a crazy day so far but I know it's about to get crazier. Robbo and I are playing at Asylum tonight... Headgawn, mad sick!! For those who can remember what happened 2 years ago when we played you KNOW we will have treat instore for you this Saturday on 1Xtra Live from 11. Check back tomorrow for the full details...if I can make it out of my bed.
