Beenie Man mixtape



Beenie Man had his first hit, "Too Fancy," as Beney Man in 1981, when he was about eight years old--younger than in that photo accompanying the recording on Youtube. That will make him a 28-year dancehall reggae deejay veteran in his late 30s when he performs on May 1 with Wayne Wonder at Epic (formerly the Quest) in Minneapolis. I haven't seen him since he made his Twin Cities debut at the same spot in 2000, though I'll probably be in Duluth for Homegrown.

In anticipation, here's a suggested mixtape of favorite tracks (with the years indicating CD dates, not song dates), plus, from Strictly Vibes, an image of the Crown HIM single that started it all:
