R-City, Trina & Showtime ‘killed it’ @ Spring Fest opening night
The three-day activity is taking place at the Myett’s Cane Garden Bay Beach Front where the action continues tonight with Jamaican dancehall artist Demarco and a host of local and regional artists.
Opening the show last night March 4, 2016 was the multiple winning Road March champions of the VI Showtime Band, joined later on stage by OMG Band exile Dante Whatley, who gave the crowd stimulating vocals together with the band’s lead vocalist Eustace ‘Boss’ Freeman.
They performed some of their signature pieces as well as covers of popular hits. Their hits included Flex It and Showtime you dead... Resurrect!
As they took the stage the crowd followed and quickly filled the space in front of the stage. Local, regional and those from further afield all had fun and danced like nobody was watching.
Following Showtime Band’s performance, it was time for Trina. After about 10 or 15 minutes of the DJ spinning tracks for the crowds it was time for ‘The baddest b*tch in the business’ as she was introduced.
Her tracks mostly featured lyrics ‘bigging up’ the single and independent ladies in the building, encouraging them to continue to make progress in their lives and to disregard the ‘haters’.
She also belted out some songs with themes and lyrics meant for mature audiences as she sang celebrating sexual prowess over a male in an ‘amorous encounter’.
After Trina ended her brief performance, it was time for the headline acts Timothy and Theron Thomas – better known as R-City.
They performed hits from their 2015 album ‘What Dreams Are Made Of’. These included Locked Away, Make Up, I’m That, Checking For You, Crazy Love and a host of others, inclusive of their original creations and covers and adaptations of many well known contemporary and reggae/dancehall hits from a range of artists across multiple genres.
Prior to their coming on stage, their DJ spun a remix of Rihanna's 'Work', featuring the versatile hip-hop, pop duo R-City.
For the most part, the crowd was singing along word for word to the music of the duo, who are clearly very popular here in the Virgin Islands.
According to entertainment website 'The Boombox.com, the duo has written music for R. Kelly, Chris Brown, Ciara, Justin Beiber and Future, to name a few.

have to play so loud??? Why do those of us who live here have to endure the noise. i understood the law was even with a permit you had to contain your noise.....and if you look at the pictures of the woman , Trina she was basically naked on stage, really, is this what you have to do for attention? Pathetic, but the locals get away with whatever they want as long as it makes money . Not to mention they block off access to the beach .
This isn't America, we don't accept or bend to racism here....
Oh. That's right. No one!
Luckily for Steve, the Government ain't giving him no money. Now Frank on the other hand was allegedly receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars from the Government.
