A moment for Jamaica’s culture, the BZR Weekend was an unforgettable experience for Jamaica. A culmination of pure enjoyment, patrons were left in awe after experiencing the legendary “Under the Influence Tour”, featuring the King of R&B Chris Brown along with the perfect ensemble of old-school dancehall embracing the future faces of the culture.
With the event title of 'Chris Brown and Friends', we couldn't have imagined how many artistes would share the stage throughout the entire night. dancehall newcomers such as Bayka, Najeeriii, Armanii, and Jquan got their chance at a mainstream event while others with the likes Tommy Lee Sparta, Kemar Highcon, Moyann, Byron Messia and Valiant who were welcomed on stage by 'Breezy' himself, gave their repertoire of hits the stage.
Fast-rising Njaeeriii who experienced his breakthrough year in the dancehall space, performed his hit singles such as "Paddle Boat” & “Panton”, and was deemed by the crowd the artiste who is “next up” in the dancehall industry.
With an effortless and flawless performance, dancehhall sensation, Byron Messia showed that he too can be a contender as the future face of dancehall as well. Knowing the lyrics word for word, patrons engaged Messia in his smash hit "Talibans" which sent a burst of dynamic energy across the National Stadium.
Accompanied by a burgeoning selector, DJ Mac shared his gratitude to the dancehall artiste with a post on his Instagram account. "It Was A Honour", he humbly shared.
Current dancehall frontrunner, Valiant who definitely allowed the crowd to “Mad Out” at his entrance to the stage. Performing songs such as "Glock 40", "Expensive" & "Dunce Cheque", the crowd erupted like a volcano bursting with a peak of good energy across the entire arena. Humbled by the moment and grateful for the experience. Valiant thanked Chris Brown for allowing him to be a part of the memorable occasion.
