Coming with the freshness and la musica diferente, like Craig Mack said, "Brand New Flava In Your Ear". Quality Caribbean and urban Latino sounds from Jamaica to Puerto Rico and Trinidad to Cuba! Two rooms of soulful flavas, nice vibes and culo-shaking bass with guest DJs, live PAs and MCs and bashment/reggaeton dancers.
Acclaimed UK rapper Yungun aka Essa will be riding the bashment riddims with some of his biggest tunes to date, including smashes from his debut album The Essance (Janomi Records). He'll also be flexing his bilingual rhyming skills over Latino beats
