The Magnum 10 Long 10 Strong Anniversary concert finale in Junction, St. Elizabeth was a blast. The event which was staged on Saturday night featured the likes of the Magnum girls, Shady Squad, Swatch International, DJ Nicco, Lady Saw, I-Octane and KipRich who made a stellar comeback fresh from spending months in the USA.
Antics on the show ranged from a 'fluffy patron' facing off with a slim diva; patrons being called up to replicate the new '10 Long 10 Strong' dance, which consists of mainly hand movements. Two men simply had no clue what they were doing - one man lounged unto the ground and did a quick grind, while the other did similarly odd gyrations. Another crowd favourite was an elderly man who was called to the stage by KipRich. The man who said he had drank several Magnums that night was asked by KipRich to give one of the Magnum girls a "Magnum wine". It was simply hilarious, though the man stood his ground and was able to not only wine, but lift and Magnum girl Boricia around the stage.
The show which started promptly at 10 pm also featured designs by Meleissa Dunkley and Romeich Wear, and the sexy designs went over well with the audience. Boasy Bwoy Floyd's playful sequences onstage were also very entertaining and was a great opener for the night's artistes. I-Octane who was first onstage did a number of his songs including: Mama You Alone, Lose A Friend and more. Lady Saw, who had another performance in Montego Bay did a splendid set before leaving and KipRich who closed the show, gave non-stop lyrical stingers.
"Mi come back ah Jamaica ah hear bout dis Sting ting an' how man waah clash me. Clash me people? Mi kill dem one time ah Sting and dem say a people hol' dem back; mi kill dem one nex' time and dem waah dead again? Mi nuh have no time fi waste", he said in reference to General B's request to clash him at this year's Sting. He then moved into several of his songs, both old and new, which worked the crowd into a frenzy and soon he called artiste, Alozade on stage.
Alozade too got the crowd excited with songs including When Shotta Go A Jail and more. He soon left the stage and KipRich completed his 40 minute set with songs including Baby Mama Drama, What You Wanna Be, Ugly So, Leggo Yuh Belly and more.
The night ended with Swatch International creating unforgettable musical mayhem both
onstage and in the crowd.
