Kingston Jamaica: January 17, 2010: Double EME nominated recording artiste Marvin Clarke more popularly known as Wasp after seeing the horrific scenes and the extensive devastation suffered by Haiti in the recent earthquake has re-recorded his hit single ‘Cry Fi Dem’ as a tribute to the Haitian people.
Since re-recording the single there has been a tremendous demand for the song which a number of radio jocks and sound system selectors have describe as a fitting anthem.
According to Wasp “when I watched the news and saw the gruesome scenes, I was really touched and decided I had to do my part to help, the song will be used throughout various campaigns aimed at soliciting aid for the people of Haiti”.
Over the weekend the fast rising deejay performed at the highly anticipated Coke Zero Concert delivering one of the most memorable sets of the night. Wasp took the stage at minutes after 10pm entering with his ‘Unfair Officer’ to loud cheers and applause, without skipping a beat he veered into the street anthem ‘Bag A Gyal’ reeling off a list of female names who were involved in a catfight over him. Now with the crowd at his mercy he segued into his 2010 anthem ‘Cry Fi Dem’ and it was only moments before the huge gathering joined in solidarity as they sang in unison dedicating the song to the Haitian people.
The concert was held at the LIME Golf Academy in New Kingston and featured international platinum seller Sean Kingston alongside local sensations Chino, D’Angel, Beenie Man, Iyara, Laden, Demarco, Serani among others.
Last week Wasp released his latest video medley on the Style and Swagga Rhythm featuring fellow entertainers Adrenaline, Beenie Man, Terro 3000, Tifa, RDX and Voicemail, the video was directed by Gareth Cobran of ID Studios.
Still basking in the glory of his recent No.1 Wasp has received two nominations for ‘Best New Artiste’ and ‘Most Improved Artiste’ for the prestigious Excellent In Music & Entertainment Awards (EME) show to be held on Thursday February 4th at the lawns of the Jamaica Pegasus Hotel, New Kingston.
