VP Records Releases Dancehall Drafts Picks
AN Exclusive dvd/CD taking an in depth look into the Next Generation of dancehall superstars - Produced By Johnny Wonder
January 15th, 2007-Jamaica, NY-Record executive/producer Johnny Wonder presents the new batch of dancehall artists from Kingston, Jamaica. Armed with a camera by his side, he follows these up and coming artists as they navigate through the dancehalls and studios of Jamaica. Exclusively aired Jan. 1st on Jamaica's own Hype TV and in stores nationwide on March 6th, 2007, this DVD package provides never before seen footage of some of the most talked about artists in dancehall today, including: Busy Signal, Mavado, Aidonia, Hollow Point, Mr. Pepper, WARD 21, Alozade and Tony Matterhorn.
With over 20 years in the dancehall business, Johnny dedicates countless hours in the battlefield to bring forth the talent displayed on this compilation. From the garrisons and trenches of the island's ghettos to the international stage, he brings the insider's perspective on dancehall's underground with personal artist and producer interviews and recent performance clips from the toughest stage shows.
The full length documentary captures raw behind-the-scenes footage on each of these breaking artists, as well as, the hottest producers, like, the young talented crew, Daseca, ZJ Liquid, Marc Pinnock, Richie Feelings, Baby G and Jam 2. There is a video segment featuring clips of Busy Signal's "Step Out" & "Born & Grow", Mavado's "Dreaming", Aidonia's "Ukku", Hollow Point's "Who Goes", Mr. Peppa's "Gangster Guerilla" & "Talk," Tony Matterhorn's "Dutty Wine," and Alozade's "Bad Out Deh." Also as an added bonus, Dancehall Draft Picks offers a full audio album with some of the hardcore smashes from each emerging artist.
Hype TV, the top video show in Jamaica, officially premiered the Dancehall Draft Pick's documentary in its entirety on New Years Day. Since this preview, dancehall's biggest fans have raved over this groundbreaking footage. "I have never seen a DVD that tapped into reggae's underground quite like this. It shows you how these artists thrive in their environment...taking you inside the studios of Daseca, King Jammy, and Natural Bridge to the garrisons of Kingston and back to some of the biggest stage shows in Jamaica," says Sharon Burke from the Solid Agency.
