Magnum’s ‘Black on Black’ party fills Mandeville, celebrates Dancehall’s finest with electrifying sets by both Jamaican icons

The Ultimate Dining Night Club & Lounge in Mandeville set the stage for the ‘Streets vs Club – Black on Black’ party, powered by Magnum Tonic Wine, on Saturday night. The venue perfectly balanced the energetic nightclub vibe with a laid-back, street-style ambiance in the VIP section.

The club was packed with revelrs, all adhering to the all-black dress code, energizing the venue. The highlight of the night came with performances by two dancehall icons, who electrified the crowd. At 3:00 a.m., host Paul ‘Bad Ras’ Davis took the stage to introduce the first headliner, the legendary Beenie Man.

Dressed sharply in a pin-striped grey suit, Beenie Man delivered an extraordinary set with hits like “Who Am I,” “Romie,” “Girls Dem Sugar,” “Let Him Go,” “Slam,” and “King of the Dancehall.” He paused briefly to engage the high-spirited audience before diving into old-school classics like “Memories,” “Love Inna Mi Heart,” and “Old Dog.” The ladies couldn’t resist singing along as Beenie Man grooved in his signature style. Wrapping up his set, Beenie Man playfully sang “country road take me home” from one of his favourite Country music classics before exiting the stage to roaring applause from an adoring audience particularly females plans, who begged for more.

Then, it was time for the “Poor People Governor,” Bounty Killer, to take over. Dressed in full black, Bounty Killer brought the energy to a fever pitch with his hardcore lyrics, delivering hits like “Perplex” and “Not Another Word.” He made it clear this was no children’s party, kicking things up a notch with “Gun Down,” “Nah Nuh Mercy,” and “Suspense,” sending waves of nostalgia through the crowd as they recalled the epic clashes between Bounty Killer and Beenie Man.

Bounty Killer showcased his versatility with tracks like “Mi Nature” and “Benz and Bimma,” proving he could serenade the ladies too. A memorable moment came when he paid tribute to his former rival-turned-friend, urging the audience to respect both his and Beenie Man’s names. This gesture resonated deeply, especially with the recent announcement that both artists would receive the Order of Distinction for their contributions to Dancehall. As the clock passed 4:00 a.m., Bounty Killer’s hour-long set left Mandeville buzzing from a night of high-energy performances by two dancehall legends.
