Clashes reign at Follow The Arrow 10

Ninjaman and The Monster Empire were some of the casualties at the recent staging of the 10th anniversary of ‘Follow Di Arrow’ stageshow at James Bond Beach in St. Mary on Saturday February 28th. Merciless is once again proclaiming himself as ‘king of Clashes’ and is “ready fi Murder any DJ who tink him have the lyrics to compete”.

The clash started out with NinjaMan being the aggressor, having put Merciless’ back against the wall with his usual high energy performance and riling the crowd to shower him with ‘forwords’. But he dug his own grave by leaving and going back stage to celebrate early by drinking champagne with his entourage.

With the crowd hungry for more Merciless stood his ground and pounded NinjaMan (in his absence) with lyrics after lyrics. When the momentum shifted Merciless’ way, Ninjaman returned to the stage to try and reclaim the upper hand but to no avail. With songs like ‘Fifty Gun Questions’ and ‘Sayonara’, Merciless never turn down the pressure. Ninjaman was eventually booed off stage.

Kiprich showed The Monster Empire That ratio is not always correct. The three to one situation was never a problem for the lone DJ, who dismantled the empire with little effort. With lyrics like “valentines day Yu buy Roundhead brassiere and buy Ghost underwear wid di back part tear”, the trio was no match for the St. Catherine DJ. There were also good performances from Queen Paula, Movado, Assassin, Macka Diamond, Bounty Killa, DJ Roach (former road manager to Vybes Kartel), Black Queen and Stacious.
