The Dancehall Magistrate and DJ Baff were chosen last Sunday, August 24th, at Rabacca.

During his interview last Sunday, The Dancehall Magistrate, whose real name is Ezra Lampkin, said he has been in the business for over ten years, and commented, “I feel excellent, and I’m looking forward to the finals because you done hear my name and is me set things straight.”

For his winning performance, The Dancehall Magistrate was presented with a Digicel handset from Marketing Executive at Digicel Edmund Joachim.

The other winner from Sunday, Amron Hector, who goes by the name DJ Baff has been a DJ for two years. He had also competed at San Souci so Sunday’s performance made it his second time vying.

“The first time I was too hype so I said I had to do something better so I went and did my best; in the finals it will be the best of the best but really I just doing it for fun but I still going to do my best”.
