The year is 2003; Kiprich and Predater found a hit with Head nuh Good as Elephant Man caught the dancing bug on Blasé Blasé, Krazy Hype and Keepin It Jiggy. Beenie Man turned everyone's eyes to Black Roses legendary dancer Bogle with Row like a Boat while T.O.K got the crowd pumping with their Unknown Language. Reggae Sumfest staged their 11th showcasing and promises to make it the best yet, showcasing more local acts with Destiny's Child being the only US-based megastar being invited.

Conscious Party; Friday, July 25th

The depths of Roots Reggae came to life as Beres Hammond, Sizzla, Buju Banton and Wayne Wonder naturally took the spotlight, but it was Warrior King and Bushman who won over the crowd. Warrior King went on his knees singing to his Empress So Divine, leaving her to smile helplessly as he poured his heart out while Bushman bounced on his toes declaring Man A Lion allowing his vocal range to wow the welcoming crowd.
