Veteran Deejay Pappa Biggy Says "Take Me Home"‏

Veteran dancehall artiste Papa Biggy has teamed up with South Florida based reggae artist Empress Uneek and her No Apology Band to produce his latest single titled Take Me Home. Papa Biggy said Take Me Home is a follow up to previously released singles Your Dreams and So Nice ft. Moni K, which both did well in the US and in Jamaica as they received a lot of airplay in both markets.

“This new single is a follow to two tracks that I released earlier this year. Both of these songs got a lot of support from DJs in Jamaica, the states and other places and really helped to signal my return to music scene in a serious way as a recording artist.”

He also said Take Me Home was done to air his concerns about the troubled times that we are living in.

“I really voice this tune because of all the things I see going on in the world right now, all over the world a lot of serious things are happening. There is too much war and crime all around and I would like all of this to stop so that love and peace will be the order of the day.”

Take Me home is available on itunes, Amazon, Emusic, myspace and nokia music online stores. Since its release it has been receiving rave reviews from a lot of music industry insiders, it is also enjoying heavy rotation on reggae programs in the US and Jamaica.

Pappy Biggy has also been very busy on the road, performing on events right across the United States. He recently did a series of shows with veteran reggae singer Errol Dunkley in Cincinnati, Ohio. Other events that he has performed on in recent times include the Caribbean Jerk Festival and Veteran Festivals in Connecticut. On August 16, he made an appearance at Toads place in New Haven Connecticut alongside King Yellowman, where he left the huge crowd begging for more.

I-Octane Blazing A Trail In Japan‏

If reggae supper star I-Octane had any doubts about his reception in Japan they were effectively dispelled by the overwhelming reception he got after he took centrestage there. “It was amazing! To see the fans responding with wild abandon at my songs was almost like a replay of dancehall night at Reggae Sumfest,” I-Octane said about his performance. So far he has set a blistering trail with the three shows he has already done, the first being Reggae Breeze at Utsumi Beach in Nagoya on August 20th where over 5,000 people attended.

Club Star Nite in Chiba City and Kyoto Club in Kyoto City followed on August 21 and 23 respectively. “Everything is going great with every performance I am feeding on the love and energy from the dancehall-loving fans here in Japan,” the singjay said, adding that he is having a great time representing with songs such as Mama you alone, No Love Inna Dem, Puff It, Lose A Friend and his biggest song in Japan, My Life.

“It is a beautiful thing to see how wild they go when I start the first notes of this song. Trust me, I feel right at home,” I-Octane said.
He is now looking to continue the rest of the tour with stops in cities such as Osaka, Yokohama and Fukuoka to name a few.

As far as I-Octane is concerned things could not be better regarding his tour as so far all of the venues have been sold out. He has given his fans more than their money’s worth with an hour long performance.
