American rapper Kanye West and his ‘Sunday Service’ mass choir got the support from local celebrities last night.
Yeezy managed to pull out Jamaicans in their numbers at the Emancipation Park despite just days of promotion.
Among those in attendance were industry legend Tommy Cowan, Carlene Davis, Chevaughn, Spice, Alaine, Jesse Royal, Agent Sasco and many more. Entertainment Minister Olivia Grange was also there.
The free concert started at 7:00 p.m. with persons arriving as early as 4:00pm. The music selection was phenomenal as the choir remixed a slew of popular Jamaican gospel and secular tracks, including Damion ‘Junior Gong’ Marley’s ‘Welcome to Jamrock’, which was remixed with “The Prince of Peace, His name Jehovah!”
Kanye West’s Sunday Service Jamaica concert is the first appearance in the Caribbean.
This was not the first time the ‘Jesus Walks’ singer was gracing a Jamaican stage, he performed at Reggae Sumfest in 2004.
