Artistes not slowing down on school tour

Although the No Violence School Tour is drawing to a close the performers at the Spanish Town High School showed no signs of slowing down.

When host Flames announced Red Rat's entrance to the stage only the first part of his name was heard before the students erupted.

They went wild for the artiste who entered singing Nuh Live Nuh Weh, Shake That and Curfew among others.

Thunderous screams also erupted for Shane O's Too Much Guns In The Street and Lightening Flash.

Teflon, Lutan Fyah also got screams from the youngsters.

Aisha and Etana represented the soulful and inspirational side of the show. While Brahyan Art and Marlon Binns' vocal stylings showed that the men could sing too.

The show took a new turn with selector Kit from Base Odyssey presenting a miniature conversation between the females and males with his song selections. The students also showed how much they appreciated when the songs took on a party vibe and there was an attempt to get teachers involved. One obliged and did the 'Heart Attack', 'Swing It Weh' and 'Stuckie' to the students' delight.

Hit List took time to explain to his alma mater the dangers of violence and expressed his love and appreciation for them with songs like Please Stop The Killing.

Prodigal Son told the crowd that his performance was not about the 'jump up,' while this has its place he wanted them to hear his message. He did I Wish where he explained what it would be like if many dancehall artistes were Christians.

Kiprich also went on to get enormous screams and cheers later on in the programme.

The No Violence In Schools tour is being organised by bMobile, THE STAR, Solid Agency and Hype TV.
