Red Bull surely has wings. Just ask dancehall artiste Future Fambo.
The deejay, who is currently enjoying a resurgence in his career, is
having repeated drinks of rum and Red Bull, toasting the success of his
single of the same name. The song is soaring its way to the pinnacle of
charts locally and overseas, and for Fambo, life is just a dream.
A combination with the doctor, Beenie Man, Rum and Red Bull easily charmed its way into the psyche of the dancehall massive and
quickly secured the number one slot in Jamaica. It has now taken on the
proverbial wings, as it flies overseas to dominate new markets and make
the year 2010 one of the most memorable so far in Future Fambo's
16-year career.
The Seanizzle-produced single made its way to Toronto, Canada, where it
had fans blaring it from their car radios, so it was no surprise when
it topped the chart there. Currently Rum and Red Bull is exciting
England, where, by all accounts, it has been an instant hit, muscling
its way onto the BBC 1Xtra chart and settling comfortably at its
favourite position, the peak.
"I couldn't believe it when I heard that the tune was number one on BBC 1
Xtra Reggae chart. All I could do was give thanks and more thanks,"
Future Fambo declared in his usual 'swagaholic' style.
