Here at OutAroad.com we are trying to find out which dancehall artiste is going to ‘run’ the summer. We have decided that the best way to find out is to get you involved. Just leave a comment to let us know who you think will be ‘sizzling hot’ this summer. Below is a synopsis of some of the artistes on our list.
Last year almost everyone readily agreed that Munga Honourable was sizzling. The ‘Gangsta Ras’ had several smashing hits that cemented themselves onto the tongues of dancehall music lovers. However, Munga has lost that momentum and this year won’t be considered for the ‘pick of the summer list’.
On our list, we have the fiery Vybz Kartel, the intense Mavado, the blazing Beenie Man, the relentless Assassin, the energetic Elephant Man, and new comers Bugle and Serani (Daseca).
Vybz Kartel has been one of the most consistent dancehall acts in recent time and has a plethora of hardcore dancehall hits under his belt. For this summer, we can expect a lot from the former Alliance member as his palette just keeps growing with songs that appeal to his ever-growing fan base. Some of Kartel’s more vibrant songs going into the summer are: Fatta Than a Pound, My Scheme, Trailer Load of Money, Money Fi Spend, Tightest Punanny, and Broad Daylight.
Despite a lot of negative press recently, Mavado has continued to be a dominating force in the dancehall. His slew of hits have been embraced by dancehall fans worldwide, and with him now carrying the baton for the struggling Alliance camp, he dare not drop it. Mavado is heading into the summer on a high with songs such as On The Rock, Money Changer, Gangsta Life, Born & Raised, and Nuh Bleach Wid Cream.
Beenie Man’s presence on the dancehall scene is almost never ending from he started his career. The ‘Doc’ is arguably the most consistent of our dancehall artiste as he always keeps current and is constantly prescribing the correct formula to get his fans going. For this summer, Beenie will not be focusing solely on Beenie Sizzle, but is also geared towards pleasing his fans with hits such as Gimme Likkle, Wine Gal, and Understand Yu’self.
Assassin have been one of the young dancehall acts to shine over the last five years and it is a safe bet that he will at least get a slice of the ‘summer cake’. Assassin has been consistent in producing dancehall songs that captivates his audience. For this summer, we can assure you that one of the biggest songs will be Dem Nuh Want Nuh Gal, and the cool and calm deejay has several others up his sleeve.
Dancehall just cannot seem to get rid of Elephant Man, and who would want to. The Energy God has re-emerged as a force to be reckoned with. For this summer, it is all about dancing again and already his songs Nuh Linga and Gully Creepa have crept up on us and have us dancing.
We will cap off our list with Serani and Bugle from the Daseca camp. The two have been dominant since the end of last year and is still riding high on a powerful wave. Their songs have dancehall fans singing and dancing up a storm and one can safely predict that they will be doing wonders this summer. Their palette include songs such as Serani's Study People, and Stinkin Rich, Bugle's Hypoctite (Cyaan Look Inna Mi Eye), What Have I Done, and Journey.

Beenie man ,kartel and movado a deh suh the ting deh
Posted on July 2, 2008 12:50
Alright let me spell it out for you. I must commend outaroad on saying "struggling alliance". I wouldn't say struggling though, i would say the "the termite-infested appliance".
Anyway a Kartel a run di scene. Broad Daylight a di gangster song fi di summer.
Beenie Man Gimmiie Lickle a di girls dem anthem fi di summer.
Elephant Man Nuh Linga a di dance song fi di summer. Gully Creepa is fastly creeping up though.
Assassin's Dem Nah Look Nuh Gal a di song fi bun battyman fi di summer.
Mavado I'm So Special is not really making me move anyway more than I would.
So for me its:
1 --Kartel
2 --Beenie
3 --Elephant Man
4 --Mavado
5 --Assassin
Everybody else dont mek nuh sense.
How comes unnu nuh do one fi di woman dem too. ANSO!!!
Posted on July 2, 2008 12:51

Over the pass years Beenie Man has been the most consistent dancehall artist and to be on top of this for so long and up and running with crowd is to be commended.He's an entertainer and gives us our moneys worth.BENNIE-MAN is the boss and will always be the boss.They can't stop him because he's God bless.
