Ghetto Red Hot Oct 07!
Gotta say massive thanks and bigups to the Niceup crew, Newtown Sound and Art Official for having me down to Wellington to play at Ghetto Red Hot. I gotta say that playing alongside Art Official and the Mighty Asterix was both an honour and a pleasure. These guys know how to make a party happen!
With Asterix hosting the night inna proper fashion (this man has a voice to be reckoned with, an absolute legend of the NZ reggae scene) and Art droppin the biggest Hip Hop/Dancehall crossover biz that (in my opinion) NZ has seen, we couldn't go wrong!
Safe to all dancers that made it down and kept it hype, so rammed and so so wicked!
Bless to my gal K for the photo's!

SURE FYAH!
Make sure you keep Saturday 20th free for the next installment of Sure Fyah! Its gon be well massive. Check the lineup!
Click here to download the Sure Fyah Promo
We pulled special guest Art Official, (Wellington, Newtown Sound, Yardwise) from his duties holding down the Dancehall in the capital city to mash up our fair town. He's a big wheel in Welly for good reason, not only does he have radio on lock (Active, Homebass & Roots and Culture) he also hosts the baddest Dancehall/Hip Hop club night the capital offers - Ghetto Red Hot. As if thats not reason enough, he also releases the Ghetto Red Hot mix CDs on a regular ting and happens to be the tighest selector you could hope for!
Alongside Art we've mined AK for its biggest Bashment talent - The Jafa Mafia Soundsystem. These bwoys know how its done and promise to run the dancefloor red on the night as they always do! Keep a sharp ear out for this crews massive dub plate special voicings, its a badman ting zeen.
Last but not certainly not least we got none other than myself - Grafta, on the bill. I'll be droppin my personal brand of Dancehall fyah, mad jugglin, refix action and most certainly premiering my latest forthcoming riddim release! Braaaappppp!
As if thats not enough to pack the club, we're releasing the next Yard Graft Mix Sessions that you'll get when you pay your 10 on the door!
Big thanks to Whammy Bar and Mad Notes for the sound on the night.
See you all there fi real!
