Smartly attired in Gucci and making a bold fashion statement, the King of Flossing, Flippa Mafia, made the Reggae Sumfest stage his own on Dancehall Night, Thursday, July 23.
It was in front of a capacity crowd at the Catherine Hall venue in Montego Bay that Flippa got his Sumfest baptism and came up a better man, more in demand for stage shows, both locally and overseas after proving that he can hold his own with the best of the best.
The flossing champ, who had earlier stated that he wasn’t sure whether or not he would actually do his champagne-popping, money-throwing routine, actually was able to balance his act nicely and give fans a total flossing and musical experience.
Coming from successful overseas gigs, Mr Dem Yah & Dem Yah delivered his set with ease and expertise. Those who didn’t know his songs listened attentively and rocked as the no-nonsense deejay wasted no time in reeling off songs from his ever-growing repertoire, including Bout Dem A Floss and Look Alike.
He took the excitement level up quite a few notches when he brought on the bubbly which he popped open on stage - to shouts of delight - sprinkled the audience and then went deep into his pocket and peeled of bills from a stash which he threw out to his fans. The Press corps and other specially invited guests at the front section scrambled on top of each other in their to grab the Jamaican and US dollars the Flossing King had thrown out. One female from a local print media made a dive and came up with US$30, which she quickly shoved in her pocket. However, persons went up to her asking to see the money to determine if the money was real.
Their expressions were priceless when they saw and felt for themselves that the Flossing King was no fake!
"Of course it's real bills," Flippa said in a post-performance interview. "It's my way of treating fans. They spend a lot of money on their outfits and I appreciate that. So instead of spending money on expensive stage props, I simply throw it out to my fans," he explained.
Flippa Mafia thanked Sumfest organizers for adding him to the Festival's line-up and declared that he is looking forward to performing on Reggae Sumfest in 2010.
