Reggae's current bright spark on the international music charts, Gyptian, saw a large turnout of friends, well wishers, industry insiders and media personnel, at the launch of his third album Hold Yuh.
The launch took place on Thursday August 5 at the Pollyana Caterers in Kingston.
The proceedings which got underway at minutes to 10 PM, were guided by MC Denise 'Isis' Miller. Vice President of Marketing and Promotions at VP Records (the label to which Gyptian is signed), Cristy Barber, spoke glowingly about working with Gyptian and his professionalism. Miss Barber also highlighted Gyptian's current success and capped her presentation with the announcement that Gyptian's smash single Hold Yuh has so far sold more than 250,000 downloads.
During his speech, Gyptian thanked the media and all the persons who have shown continuous support to his career.
With production duties from the likes of John 'FX' Crawford and Ricky Blaze among others, the album Hold Yuh debuted at number two on Billboard's Reggae album chart.
Gyptian will later this month join the Damian 'Jr. Gong' Marley/Nas tour in North America. The tour is expected to open up Gyptian's music to wider audience.
Among the entertainers and industry personnel who came out in support of Gyptian's album launch, were Paul 'Banky' Giscombe, Ralston ‘Rallo’ Barrett, Nitty Kutchie, members of TOK, Tifa, Natalie Storm, Stampede, and Wickerman among others.
