Back in the days with Beenie Man
Beenie Man recorded a slew of hit songs throughout the 90's that captured the dancehall arena, dancehall fans were busy learning and practicing the new dance move "World Dance", which was followed by more hit songs such as "Defend It" and "Dis Unu Fi Hear", "Damsel Ship", "Suzuki", "Ole Dawg", "Slam", "Ketteh Drum" and many more.
His performance in the music industry landed him the title DJ of the year in 1994, the same year that these singles were released. This was a significant year for Beenie Man; he also released his debut album which was titled "Blessed" which included a grip of hit songs.
By now, Beenie man had gone international; his songs were blazing the clubs and radio stations in England. The following year was even bigger and more successful for Beenie Man; he was doing major collaborations with Dennis Brown, Triston Palmer and Mad Cobra. In fact his biggest collaborations for that era were with Lady Saw for the song "Healing" and "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" that he did with Third World. This was another fantastic year for Beenie Man and he was back in line for DJ of the year for the second consecutive time...

This upcoming summer season has shaped up to be a very busy one for Beenie Man. He's currently schedule for a European Festival Tour at the end of June and runs during the month of July where he's also confirmed for Sumfest - Mo-Bay, Good Year Oval - St. Thomas, Connecticut and Miami. Currently, he has a lot of videos and songs in rotation both on the Cable Stations, Radio Stations and on the Charts.

Those were the days when dancehall was nice........ even though I was young I can still look back and have wonderful memories because those songs have created some wonderful moments in my life. Hanging with my older cousins and friends and trying to practice all the dance moves. Now its just pure slackness and stupidity going on in the dancehall.
If only we could turn back time.............

Beenie has been doing this for a while and he is only getting better. It takes a real artist to stay on top of his game for so many years in a very competitive music industry. He is a legend in dancehall circles, a true ambassador for our music and Jamaica on a whole. He has paved the way for many on the international scene and will continue to do so. Keep up the good work Doc and all the best. Beenie is the King!

THIS STORY NEEDS TO BE REVISED!!!. FIRSTLY IT STARTS LONG AFTER THE "KING" HAD LAUNCHED A SUCCESSFULL CAREER. AND IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY THOUGH I MAY BE WRONG BUT DIDNT HE WIN DJ OF THE YEAR BEFORE THAT?
SO ANYWAY IF YOUR GOING TO LOOK AT THE KINGS ACHIEVEMENT THIS NEEDS TO BE 3 PART STORY THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A PART OF THE SECOND STORY.
BUT ANYWAY EVERYBODY KNOW THE KING HISTORY...SO NO DEPATE JUST APPRECIATE!!!

One thing that CANNOT be disputed. Regardless of what you think if the man, BEENIE is the HARDEST worker in dancehall. Non stop pursuit of INTERNATIONAL acclaim and individual accolades.No other artiste, reggae or dancehall, is as dedicated to his craft as the DOC. Raspek and gwaan strive fi higher heights.
Peace
