Shabba gets Sumfest award

Mark Titus, Staff Reporter

Veteran dancehall artiste Shabba Ranks was almost brought to tears after being honoured by the Reggae Sumfest organisers and the Jamaica 50 Committee.



In front of an appreciative jam-packed Catherine Hall Entertainment Complex, Shabba Ranks, returning from long hiatus from the festival, had earlier given a memorable performance.

"All the people who have held up the Shabba Ranks torch all these years, respect," he said.

"It’s not only gunshot can come from the ghetto, I am a natural proof of ghetto progress."
