Early summer 2009 brought a slew of internet buzz about the return of the innovative and classic sound passionately called the “HAWK” by fans. The buzz faded with the hospitalization and passing of Steely, but even in his death Steely’s musical voice will be heard through a proposed tour called, “Tribute to Steely.” The tour is being initiated by the current Silverhawk team put in effect before his untimely death. The team includes, past selector Richard Reid (Richie Poo), Evert Palmer (Road Manager), Luciana Maneri (Steely’s Manager) and Cleveland “Clevie” Browne. It was to be Steely’s next big project, the return of the Silverhawk Sound, a necessary move which he believed would change the current monotonous face of dancehall. When asked if it will be the same without Steely, the management team replied, “ Never! But we will try our best to live up to his ingenuity and the expectations of loyal Silverhawk fans. Expect the ‘Tribute to Steely’ tour to beginning in early 2010 with previews in selected regions. The tour will include Jamaica, United States, Japan, UK, Europe, Africa and the Caribbean. We now know the ‘Hawk’ is ready to fly high once again.

Yes massive, join us for our fifth chapter of the Annual LA Rumble. After a successful 45 Shootout (“Judgement Day”, July 09), we’ll be returning to one of Los Angeles premiere reggae venue-the Salaam temple on Saturday December 12th 2009. The event is proudly sponsored by REGGAEEVENTS.COM and reggae giant VP RECORDS for what will be billed as one of the ALL-TIME best West Coast clashes! It is our 5th year so we decided to add a segment to the LA Rumble. We are proud to announce that local sounds will be showcased in a “Juggling to Kill” format. Make no mistake: they have made an impact on the scene and are ready to shine on this platform. The sounds include: 1 Love Sound (Selecta Easy B, Biggy & Soldier), Fayah Heart Sound (Dj Blocc & Selecta Gill), POSITIVE RHYTHM (DJ Hier - Pum Pum Tuesdays), and The Fayah Squad (Glamma D & Dj Mike). The Juggling to Kill will be served as an appetizer to the main course: this year’s LA RUMBLE which will feature last year’s Los Angeles contender but now newly relocated to Japan: BLACK GOLD SOUND. Their dubplate arsenal shocked the crowd and gave the winner a run for their money. Some may beg to differ. Two-time champions JAH WARRIOR SHELTER HI-FI (San Francisco) are back once again to defend their title. LA fans are well aware of the depths of their crates and decided of their fate two years in a row before they even reached the tune for tune. This year’s LA Rumble will feature 2 newcomers but veterans in this business! Their contribution to the clash arena speaks for itself: they have participated in high level clashes since the 80’s! New York’s infamous EARTH RULER will be returning in Los Angeles after a 10 year hiatus. Last but not least, Florida’s most notorious killing sound POISON DART will also participate. We are honored to have this lineup for this year’s LA RUMBLE hosted by our very own MC Lightfoot. He has been a constant since the inception of this exclusive event. Come one, come all, tell a friend, wake the town: you simply can’t afford to miss this year’s LA RUMBLE. It’s Soundclash time again!
