by chrome August 16, 2011

This has been on top of my playlist and my favourite dancehall tune for the last 2 months or so, Mr Vegas on the mighty Blaze Fya Riddem. A definite YUM YUM track to play at any party, even though it starts out a bit cheesy, it quickly unwinds into a dancehall stomper. Of course [...]
