‘Young Dillas’ promises to demolish competition at ‘Princess Star’ showdown

TWENTY talented amateur singers have made it to the first leg of the ‘Princess Karaoke Star’ competition, which kicked off inside Club Next (Princess International Hotel).

The auditions saw participation of vocally talented youngsters from all across Guyana, but many were professionals and had made way for the very lucky amateur singers.

Among the numbers auditioning last Saturday was a very talented hip-hop youth group called ‘Young Dillas’, which made it to the next round. Though many have raved that they will be knocked out early because of their liking to the hip-hop musical genre, the singers yesterday, in an exclusive interview, vowed that they will demolish any competition coming from the seasoned karaoke campaigners.

Of course they will have to face the fiery vocal stampede of hotties like Oquela Jones, Lisa Walcott, Lashaun Charles, DJ Mambo, Iodele Gilbert, Michael Spencer, and a few others.

The ‘Young Dillas’ group comprises some thirteen singers from around Georgetown, who all met and connected at various intervals because of their likeness for the hip-hop sound.
Some of the members have performed at the previous Jamzone Guyana festivities.

This group comprises of Chinva Peters ( Rafelli), O’Conell Morgan (Kashh), Brian Gonsalves (King Antho), Nial Kingston (Chris Odd), Quason Paul (Young Hayden), Joshua Prass (Jay Urban), ‘Crime Scene’, ‘Poison Ink’, ‘ Young Fame Gno’, ‘Marlon Gonsalves (Ice), Louis Ebenzer, Trey Scott, (Prodigy), Esan Benzy, and others.

Last Saturday, they showcased at the Princess Star auditions and truly amazed the judges, performing their music genre ‘Acapella style’. Rafelli is presently working on a mixed tape dubbed ‘Nigga We Causal’, while collaborations with other group members are expected soon.

Jay Urban and Esan Benzy recently released individual mixed tapes, and they have also performed at Upscale Restaurant, Jamzone festivities 2013. Two members of this group have performed on the same stage locally with international rap star Rick Ross.

Well, enough said, folks! Let’s see what they bring to the platter, as they are expected to sing ‘karaoke style’. Make sure you are at Princess Hotel’s ‘Club Next’ at 9 pm tomorrow to soak up all the fun and excitement.
