“Fans eagerly await release of new single from the King of Dancehall and Mister Reality.”
Its official, Beenie Man, the Dancehall King, is set to collaborate with Mister Reality himself, Admiral Tibet, to release a remake of Tibet’s 1989 Smash Hit ‘Leave People Business’.
Word of the new single, which is cut on the new ‘Stains’ rhythm, is being received with “surprise” by the music industry. This is because in the almost thirty years since Beenie Man, whose real name is Anthony Moses Davis, first burst on to the music scene and established himself as a lyrical aficionado, this is only the third time he has collaborated with any of the legendary performers of Reggae or its sub genres. The two previous occasions were with icons Barrington Levy in 1994 and Dennis Brown and Tristan Palmer in 1995.
Like Beenie Man, Admiral Tibet, real name Kennel Allen, is also well known for his rare collaborations, which also are only made with premiere performers. Namely his 1995 history-making hit featuring Grammy winner Shabba Ranks and deejay legend Ninjaman. The Grammy winning Beenie Man’s undisputed crown as the King of Dancehall therefore over-qualifies him for this collaboration with the discerning Admiral Tibet.
“It has been many years since Moses has done work with other Jamaican greats like himself.” says a spokesperson for Thunderbird Productions, the talent management firm that is home to Admiral Tibet, the reinvented artiste, Jezsebel, new deejay Kirk–Antony and chanterelle Shantia. “After 15 years the world is eager for the thrill of hearing the Doctor and Mister Reality re-master a classic. Admiral Tibet is excited to see what Beenie will do and Beenie is excited too”, the management representative added.
Beenie Man confirmed, “I didn’t think twice about saying “Yes” when Tibet asked me to do the remix.” and just for good measure he quipped, “The music video is going to be great too.”
‘Leave People Business: The 2010 Stain Rhythm Remix’ hits stores and digital downloads this February.
