RDX rocks Labor Day parade in New York

Dynamic dancehall duo RDX recently performed live at the popular West Indian Labor Day Parade in New York.

The annual parade sees floats gliding through the streets of Brooklyn on Labor Day with a sea of Caribbean residents and other patrons following along.

The duo, which was booked to perform on that weekend in New York at Anything Goes Live at Amazura in Queens, was invited by numerous bands and trucks from soca and dancehall teams to be part of their festivities.

They decided to perform on a float with popular US reality-TV star Safaree, who also has Jamaican roots.

"We always have had bookings in other markets during Labor Day weekend. This year was just New York's turn, so we opted to perform on the parade as well. Nothing happens before its time, and for the patrons, it was definitely worth the wait," Renigade said.

The duo's popular songs like Jump, Bend Over, Shake Your Bam Bam and Broad Out were sung word for word by the thousands at the parade.

"The energy was unreal, totally lit. Our Caribbean people were out in their numbers, and we had a great time rocking out with them. Seeing flags waving from all different Caribbean nationalities filled us with pride," Delomar added.

RDX is now back in Jamaica. Their Roll It music video will be released soon, and on the production side, they will be releasing the Illegal rhythm, which contains songs from I-Octane, Serani, and newcomer Lexikon, among others, on their Apt 19 Music label.
