The last thing I could wish is to be a judge at the awards.beyond the glamour i see nothing else"fi smile bout."
first of all this will be a proving ground between the gaza king(vybz) and Gully god(mavado).though at this point vybz seem to have the upper hand,there is no telling who might be taking most of the awards. and I wouldn't like to witness the disappointment in of them.who knows it might be the ignition of the beef again.
This is a tight award and i know for IT'S GONNA BE FIIIIIREE
