The feedback to the album has been very good. It has received very positive reviews from a number of international magazines and websites like Reggaeville.com, Unitedreggae.com and Reggaemani.wordpress.com. 

It’s a very good album and I expect it to do well,” said the artiste. The life I Live(d) was released internationally on the 27th of May by Tads Records. “I’m happy that I’m working with Tads Records on this project, they are one of the better known labels in Reggae music. 

They are doing a lot of work to get the album out and promote in various markets around the world in places like the US, Europe and Africa. Tads has a very strong team and we are working together to make the album a success. I also have to commend my team at Hard Shield Records they are also doing a lot of work to make the project a success.”

Mr. Vegas Ready Long Time In New Diss Track

“If a war dem want mi ready long time… dem a dready long time, dem nuh steady long time…”

Ace dancehall DJ Mr. Vegas is in no talking mood as he answers in song to any DJ that wants to prove his worth. In a new track, just hot off the press, Mr. Vegas stands tall on a reworked Answer Riddim with a boomshot labeled Ready Long Time. This is vintage Mr. Vegas, intertwining hard hitting lyrics with a seriousness that could intimidate any competitor.

Mr. Vegas’ dark side is now revealed. With lyrics like: If a war dem want mi ready long time… dem a dready long time dem nuh steady long time and Mi coulda be yuh daddy suh gwaan guh sidung… man a gorilla weh run country and town.. u diss the elders in yuh own milk yuh drown, Mr. Vegas hits the target and pledges a barrage of other hard hitting tracks for the masses.  

In commenting on recent events, Mr. Vegas says he is ready for anything and the song is his sounding of that fact: “Lately some people have been making statements in the media and we want dem to know we are no punks around here. We are ready and waiting for any challenge even if it’s at Sumfest. So those who talking must either put up or shut up”. 

Mr. Vegas added that while throughout his 17 year career he has been labeled a girls artiste, he has over that time released some hardcore tunes such as Stop Mi Food, Gangsta Law, We Nuh Want Nuh Fren From Dem and his recently release Real Don on Jah Snow Cone’s Nuh Fraid Riddim which is getting massive forwards in the dancehall right now.
