From the charts to the streets, Mr Vegas’s new album Sweet Jamaica surges right out of the blocks with events in Jamaica, Miami and New York City and an acoustic performance on Sirius XM radio.

Just in time for the 50th anniversary of Jamaican independence, international recording artiste Mr Vegas released his debut album Sweet Jamaica May 29th on his very own imprint, MV Music. An unprecedented double disc LP, “Sweet Jamaica” features Shaggy, Luciano, Jovi Rockwell, Nadine Sutherland, Josey Wales, Patrice Roberts and backed by crucial production from Mikey Bennett, Sly & Robbie and Steelie & Clevie. Since before the album release, Mr Vegas has been spreading the message from Jamaica to Canada, the United States and throughout the Caribbean. The hard work is paying off as Sweet Jamaica is now featured on Reggae iTunes landing page and charting at the top of the Reggae chart while AOL Music, Google Plays, RCRD LBL, LargeUp/OkayPlayer, Mixed & Mastered, MTV IGGY and more have all showed Sweet Jamaica special consideration (see the reviews below).

Mr Vegas showcased the record in Jamaica Sunday May 27th on the popular Television Jamaica (TVJ) series, Layers of Soul. The live performance included guest appearances by Luciano, Nadine Sutherland, Natel and Dance Xpressionz. Abroad, Miami and New York City joined Kinston, Jamaica among the cities worldwide that hosted record launch events. VP Records held a CD-signing with Mr Vegas at its retail store in South Florida, while ‘Saturday Vbyz’ DJ Bigga Boss broadcasted a live remote on WAVS 1170 over the Memorial Day weekend. Vegas’s Sweet Jamaica meet-and-greet hosted by Boomshots’ Rob Kenner at Miss Lilly’s in New York City last week was blessed with Max Glazer and Spliffington on the decks while surrounded by more friends and fans on release day. And he didn’t leave the city before recording an acoustic showcase for Pat McKay and SiriusXM’s The Joint. Listen to Vegas’s exclusive acoustic performance on The Joint (Sirius XM Channel 42) Tuesday June 5 at 11 AM EST. If you missed it, the rebroadcast is Friday June 8 @ 10 PM ET.

“It’s always a surprise with ‘Sweet Jamaica’, isn’t it,” laughs Mr Vegas. “And more is on the way. More great music, more wicked videos and more fun. That’s what I would expect from my Sweet Jamaica.”
