With Videos in Rotation on MTV, VH1, Popcaan Performs at the Top European Festivals and Gets Ready for Reggae Sumfest
Fresh from a
successful Canadian tour in June, Popcaan performed for full house
venues in cities such as Toronto, Montreal, Calgary and
Vancouver. The popular artiste has remained at the forefront of the
dancehall scene from climbing charts to performing sold out shows
worldwide.
Now Popcaan, raises the bar as
he has performed to sold out concerts in Europe on his European Summer 2013
Tour, playing major festivals in Germany, France, Switzerland and Holland over
past 2 weeks. Of significance was his first time performing with a band on such
festivals as Afro Latino in Belgium and Summerjam in Germany.
After rocking a crowd 30,000
strong at Summerjam, Popcaan said “it was an amazing experience, its great to
see how the people accept the music, Summerjam is a special vibe and a every
energetic crowd”
He will return to Jamaica just
in time for the highly anticipated Reggae Sumfest, one of the biggest nights
for music in Jamaica at the end of July. After a critically acclaimed
performance last year, the DJ looks forward to delivering on Dancehall Night
yet again.
In between the tour dates and
appearances, the dancehall artiste is still working assiduously in the studio.
Last summer the 'Unruly Boss' dominated with the release of his award winning
hit single "When We Party". His recent release "Unruly
Rave" for Hapilos Digital Production seems out to do the same with heavy
rotation on the radio, in the clubs and in the streets. He commemorated the
summer by releasing the video for the track on the first day of the season. The
video shoot for another track, the Jam 2 Records produced single "Wine
Like That" was also just completed which fans can also look out for
in July.
With Popcaan's latest
collaboration "First Time" with Megan James from the group
Purity Ring featured in the Puma Dance Dictionary and gaining traction
worldwide, Popcaan will be adding a number of international collaborations
to his growing catalogue this year as well. Songs featuring both UK and US
based artistes can be expected.
Presently his worldwide hit,
“The System” is in rotation on MTV Jams and VH1 Soul, and the song remains one
of his most popular. Of this song Popcaan says “It’s a song that the people
just love, it a sing along everywhere when I perform it and it has nearly 2
million views on YouTube on my page alone, so maybe 5 million all over the
internet so with MTV rotation it can only keep growing”
Popcaan’s full length album is
already underway, with finishing touches being done. The album will be crafted
by the ingenious Dre Skull of MixPak Records along with well known Jamaican
producers. The first single from the album will be released in September 10.
