Atlanta has waited a long time for this, when the ladies Terry, Maxine and Charmiane of the Vibes Crew said they would do it, a lot of the haters said never. Well let the haters hate, while the players play!

Through rain those who believe gangsta duh tell lies were there to see Mr. yes Mister Mavado raise all gangstas and dey lovers from the gully side. Mavado was here wah big man nah do, big gal do eeee.

Fuss people love the gangsta, they came thru de rain with umbrella and all. Some came early (like TJJ) for the early juggling was on like ah piece ah yardie jerk chicken. Father John Wayne set the pace off hot, DJ Juggla close the night out what played in between was pure fire. Reptile Sound ... dem youths Natural and selector Mental blaze de place with some real bad man tune. Then it was Textra and Mr. Legus the man with the big voice, nah hole water in eee mouth fah no man, he chat wah eee wah chat and who nah like it meet him at Cassava Piece aka the Gully Side. He let the ones who missed it know that it is de woman dem that get bad man out ah Jamaica, so duh spread rumor pon Dem. Jus lowy dem leh dem eat ah food too (let them make some money too).

Big up to Father Buggus on your earth night. Nuff big bottle drinks you kept running in the VIP... nuff respect. Big TJJ thumps up to the Vibes Crew ... you ladies are best; anything you do in 2008 will be great.

Well now the time we have been waiting for - 3am - Atlanta show time (too late for many, ok for some), Legus hype the man who needed no hype for he was surely present, selector switch Dread from Adonai straight out ah yard with Mavado start the crowd with the rhythm for "Gully Side" and the kid from the Cassava Piece did not fail as gangsta doh miss ... he hot the whole place up. Gal rush the stage with deh gun hand up in de air, ready to get ah squeeze like the trigger of he gun. It was "Amazing Grace" to see them jump for fun as "Last Night" he touch dey hair play with dey ear, dey face and all that were near cause "Top Shotta Nah Miss" and miss he did not for the next hour and ah half was pure fffiiirrraahhh. Mavado rinse out big tune after big tune and when everybody was happy to go home, after a screaming encore he return to tell all bad man duh answer no private call or invalid id or block number gangsta nah answer.

It was a performance to remember and Jungle Juice was on hand to witness. No rumors jus truth, folks JShab fuljoy the show (for to enjoy is to stop the joy). Everyone left out with dey gun hand in the air saying much respect to the promoters for a big show.
