Happy Birthday BUNJI!
How fitting is it that another one of Soca’s all time greats happens to celebrate his birthday EXACTLY a week after mine? Yeah – Bunji is a Cancer man too!!! What can I say? We Cancers are just destined for greatness! ;-)
So anyway, earlier on in the day (July 14th) I got a call from my homegirl Nadia Batson, who explained that Garlin himself had called her up and told her to come down to his private Birthnight Bash last night over at Club Ibiza, “and bring Vybe and Alysha and de crew!”
Given that myself and Garlin go wayyyyy back to our freestyling days “on the Greens” in Arima back in the 90′s, you know I had to go and celebrate with my homey. Him being a fellow Cancer was just icing on the cake.
Myself, Nadia, my lil sista (Ms. Alysha) and (Digital Entertainment sound man) Don Iko linked up and headed down to Ibiza just after 9pm, expecting a nice Birthday bash for Bunji and got a GREAT lime and so much more…
For those who weren’t lucky enough to be on Bunji’s list of Special Invitees, you missed out on a classic live performance from Uncle Superblue (including his unique version of MJ’s “Billie Jean”), freestyles from Squeezy Rankin, Benjai, Fayann and even Garlin himself, and Happy Birthdays sung by Ziggy Rankin, Denise Belfon and Jamaican Dancehall star Cecile!

Hanging out with good friends in the biz like Maximus Dan, Kees, Ninjitsu, Jungie Ranking and Scar was great as always, and also in attendance were the likes of Jason Williams & Blaze, Super Jigga TC, Michelle Xavier (Imij & Co), and Hypa Hoppa.
