BIG UP IRIE FM FOR HAVING AN AWARD BUT I DONT AGREE WITH SOME OF THE WINNERS ESPECIALLY THE DEEJAY OF THE YEAR. BEENIE MAN HAD ONLY ONE HIT SONG FOR THE WHOLE YEAR ``BACK IT UP``. IT WAS NOT EVEN A REAL HIT ,IT WAS JUST A POPULAR SONG THAT SOME PEOPLE LOVE BECAUSE PERSONALLY I THINK THAT SONG WAS WACK.BUSY SIGNAL SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED THAT AWARD,WITH SONGS LIKE ``THESE ARE THE DAYS`` AND ``NAH GO A JAIL`` WHICH WERE ALL MONSTER HITS ALONG WITH SOME GOOD STAGE PERFORMANCE,HE DESERVES TO BE DEEJAY OF THE YEAR MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE.THIS LEAVES US TO QUESTION IRIE FM INTEGRITY BECAUSE YOU GUYS DEFINITELY DEPRIVED BUSY SIGNAL OF SOMETHING THAT BELONGS TO HIM.BIG UP BUSY SIGNAL AND CONTINUE TO GIVE IT TO THEM BECAUSE THEM CANT HOLD U DOWN FI LONG.PEACE OUT!
