Bounty Killer is on his way to Trinidad and Tobago for Magnum Xplosion’s SummerStage. His appearance in T&T comes following news that he will receive Jamaica’s Order of Distinction on Hero’s Day in Jamaica, in October.
Price and fellow Dancehall sensation, Beenie Man, songstress, Nadine Sutherland and Glendon “Admiral Bailey” Bailey were among 150 Jamaican nationals listed on Wednesday to receive awards for their contributions to music and culture.

With his distinctive voice and musical delivery, Price rose to fame in the early 90s and became one of the major forces in danchall music and culture. Laced with socially-conscious and provocative lyrics, Price’s catalogue includes hits such as “Fed Up”, “Sufferer” and the 2001 collaboration with America rock band, No Doubt, “Hey Baby”, which peaked at No. 5 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and earned a Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a duo or group in February of 2003.
Price is scheduled to arrive in Trinidad on Friday night and joins a cast of younger talents, ready to perform at the popular dancehall music showcase. These include: local acts, KESI, Squid and Sackie, as well as rising Jamaican stars, “Kraff”, “Rajah Wild” and recently-added, “10TIK” and the mysterious “Move Mountains” and “Champion Boy” singer, Earlan “Alkaline” Bartley.
The second annual “SummerStageTT” edition of the Magnum Xplosion concert series will take place at the Queen’s Park Savannah and is scheduled to start at 8 pm.
Magnum’s Export Market Brand Manager, Georgia Fearon is expected to attend on Saturday. In a statement she said, “We are immensely proud of our headliner Bounty Killa for being conferred the Order of Distinction by the Government of Jamaica. He has been a leading force in Dancehall music and contributed significantly to its development globally. He is an icon and deserving of this award. Magnum salutes you! “
It’s a brand new concept being brought to life, in Point Fortin, however its impact, according to organizers, is already proving immense.

Naya George and Anson George spoke exclusively with Ebuzztt.com ahead of the all inclusive experience. They’re excited to see their vision come to life. Anson, a well known name on the carnival and entertainment circuit, is known for his strong involvement in the BeachHouse Carnival brand. “It’s going to be on par with BeachHouse,” he assured, asserting ‘Flowers’ as the new ‘must attend’ fete in Borough Day festivities. “There are other events happening on Sunday in Point Fortin but there’s no other event of this caliber, happening,” said Anson, explaining that a few tickets are still available for those who still want to get in.
For Naya, the effort is less about business, and more about purpose. “We are partying with a purpose. We want to let people know that this isn’t just about feting. This is the only party that’s happening in Point Fortin that’s giving back to Point Fortin,” he explained, adding that proceeds will go toward investment in the young people. “The first set of projects will be at the Point Fortin West Secondary School where the event is being held. We are going to revitalize the sports programme, playing field restoration, sporting equipment and that kind of stuff, to ensure the youths have a place to find themselves in the area of sports. Flowers is the premiere fund raiser to do these things,” said George.
Set to welcome fete lovers from 5pm on Sunday at the Point Fortin West Secondary School, Flowers will feature a cast of talented artistes, inclusive of Nadia Batson and Lyrikal. “We want to raise fund in style and with high quality at heart, hence the reason the event’s caliber is high. This is going to be a first for Point Fortin,” said Naya George.

The Point Fortin Borough experience is widely attended, with a series of cultural events leading up to the weekend of excitement that is anticipated by locals and visitors alike, each year. “Flowers has set the tone for the Borough Day evolution I think,” said Naya George. “Fusion came to an end last night,” noted Anson. He said the cultural extravaganza, which was similar to Carnival’s Flava Village, was a huge success and noted the wide variety of cultural traditions, shared between April 25th and April 30th. “If people can jump on a plane to experience Grenada carnival, we are certain they can come from West and North Trinidad to enjoy the Point Fortin Borough activities,” said Anson, making it clear that ahead of the upcoming weekend, hotel and guest house occupancy is already high.
“Borough is like a second carnival,” said Anson. He said there are fetes happening throughout the day on Friday. “When you come, you get a taste of everything you get in carnival. You get the fetes, the all inclusive, the jouvert, the street food, the culture,” he highlighted, and this year, for the very first time, fans of culture, creativity and altruism, will fete with purpose at Flowers – a distinct, top tier, premium all inclusive experience in the heart of the borough.
Tickets for the event are available online at Stacy’s House Of Hair – Point Fortin, Atherley’s By The Park – San Fernando, Terminal 4 – Long Circular Mall and online at theticketgeneral.com.
