a rumour that the infamous Busta

was replaced by fact. World Famous

blowing set. The performance included
‘Touch It’ the chart
topping bassline banger which seemed
to be the crowds favourite and incurred
several rewinds! Busta was in arms
reach and surprisingly not surrounded
by too much security, making it
an enjoyable performance. He was
accompanied by Spliff Star of Flipmode
squad where they attacked the stage
with huge energy. Kristine Luguana,

I wasn’t sure he would come,
I mean Busta Rhymes!!! I still can’t
believe it. My girlfriend will be

Ginuwine was one of R&B's pre-eminent
love men during the '90s heyday
of hip-hop soul. Initially teamed
with Timbaland, the most innovative
producer of the late '90s, Ginuwine's
sultry, seductive crooning earned
him a substantial female following
and made him a regular presence
on the R&B charts, even after
the futuristic production he favored
was eclipsed by the more organic,
retro-leaning neo-soul movement.
Ginuwine, every ladies favourite
bachelor performed for Mix It Up!
for the second time and to our disbelief
was even better than his last top
performance. The show involved a
lot of tantalising moves and his
bellowing voice. He definitely did
it for the ladies.
Dressed in a comic designed hoody
and dripping in jewellery the ladies
man took the mic as a well educated
artist. He sang live all the favourites
including Pony, In those Jeans,
Shorty and many more.
Tasha Sinclair,
who was screaming with delight
shouted ‘Ginuwine is just
toooo fine, I wish he took of
his top like he did last time,
I managed to touch him though.
Mix It Up! I salute you’.

soon come to find out. It was the
teenage Sean Kingston and his irresistible,
unavoidable tropical tale of love,
“Beautiful Girls.”
Mix It Up! hosted
this concert and of course the
number one selling single was
a favourite with the crowd. Sean
danced about on stage wearing
