Hold Yuh, Gyptian international reggae hit, which has been released by
VP Records, is currently charting on iTunes top-10 reggae singles charts.
It is # 3 in France, # 3 in Canada, # 4 in Denmark,# 8 in Switzerland and
# 9 in the US. Gyptian's album, titled as the single,is #6 on reggae Album
chart (Billboard). It's impossible to ignore the blast the song had andBill
board released a statement saying:"Not since 2003 a locally based reggae
artist had that level of chart success".In October Gyptian won the MOBO
Award, in England, for Best Reggae Act. In November he won Soul Train
Music Awards for Best Reggae Act.
The single Hold Yuh resurrected Gyptian career that started about 5 years
ago with his debut hit Serious Times.Mama Don't Cry,I Can Feel Your Pain
and Beautiful Lady.Hold Yuh however,is his first global hit which reaches
the mainstream music markets. Gyptian,contrary of many other dancehall
artists, still owns a valid Us Visa and so he was able to support the single's
success with a series of concerts in America that started last July.
Maybe not all of you know that the faamous hit received complaints based
on The BCJ Monitoring & Compliance Reports song would have angered
some listeners for atriple play on words that likens a hug to a sexual act.
Gyptian,was raised in StAndrew by his Christian mother&Rastafari father. Gyptian,real name Windel Beneto Edwards, often wrapped shirts around
his head in the style of an Egyptian pharaoh,which inspired his aka name.
He showcased his talent by singing at his mother's Sunday morning church services and at the Saturday night dances promoted by his father who used
to own Sugar Stone Sound System.Some of my Fav Hold Yuh Remix here.
