Sting promoter Isaiah Laing praises the government for acquiring JamWorld.
Dancehall Promoter Isaiah Laing praises the government for its move to acquire the 70-acre JamWorld entertainment complex in Portmore, St Cathrine. The Supreme Promotions headman and one of the organizers of the most excellent one-night show on earth, STING, thinks the acquisition of JamWorld by the Jamaican government is an excellent idea. And the music business needed a venue like JamWorld. Because Kingston and St Cathrine are music centers for Reggae and Dancehall. JamWorld is considered by many as the spiritual home of Sting. But the facility slid into disrepair after Sting took a 7-year hiatus. "I'm sure the people of Kingston and Portmore are happy about the plans. And, I say give thanks to Babsy Grange," he continued. On November 8, 2022, Olivia 'Babsy' Grange, Minister of Culture, Gender, Entertainment, and Sports, announced the acquisition at Sting's media launch at the Jamaica Pegasus hotel in New Kingston. Laing said JamWorld was home to Sting from 1993-2015. Speaking about JamWorld, Laing said the facility needs to be upgraded to a high-tech venue with a museum that could become a tourist attraction. The former member of the JCF said plans are on schedule for this year's Sting on Boxing Day, which will be held at Grizzly Plantain Cove in Priory, St Ann. "We'll be ramping up promotions in the next few days," said Laing. "This will be one of the best shows ever. We have a mix of fast-rising acts and seasoned veterans. The young artistes have the current hit songs who the young people want to hear and see perform these songs. I'm encouraging everyone to come out and enjoy a great show," he continued. According to Laing, this year's lineup will include Christopher Martin, Etana, Jesse Royal, Silk Boss, and Kraft. The first staging of Sting was in 1984. at Cinema 2 drive-in theatre in New Kingston. Over the years, many Hip-Hop heavyweights have performed at Sting. People like Biggie Smalls, DMX Kris Kross, and Busta Rymes. Among famous Sting clashes are (the 1990 Super Cat vs. Ninja Man), (the 2000, Merciless vs. Ninja Man, and Bounty Killa vs. Beenie Man). And (2003 Vybz Kartel vs Ninja Man).
