NO ONE THROWS a party like Cash Money, the ever-popular sound system in Portmore, St. Catherine. Cash Money has been on the party scene since 2000. According to the sound system's owner, Bryan Clarke, a.k.a 'Scratchy B', the Cash Money party was held on Mondays at the Asylum Nightclub, but was changed to Thursdays and moved to the hip party town of Portmore, right on the roof of the Twin City Plaza.

The system plays every type of music and has been seen at hype events such as Fully-loaded. The sound has also brought its party madness to Caribbean islands, England, Canada and the United States.

Cash Money Thursdays is an event no party person should miss. It's free! The party kicks off at 9:00 p.m. and lasts until 1:59 a.m. Selectors spinning the wheels include popular 'Bumpy', 'Marathon', 'Ice-T' and 'Shampoo'. Thursdays always sets the party on fire and patrons can enjoy performances from various artistes, such as Busy Signal, Slash, New Kidz, Della Rankin, Idonia, Marco Brand, Singer J, and Elephant Man. Patrons will also enjoy give-aways and a fully stocked bar, while jumping to the latest and greatest hits.

If you can't go to Cash Money Thursdays, it can come to you. The sound system is available for any event at affordable rates. It plays anywhere in Jamaica. However, Mr. Clarke advises that two months notice be given regularly and four months during summer and Christmas.

Patrons can expect a special treat on the last Thursday in July ­ Scratchy B's birthday. The Cash Money Thursdays party will blaze with international sounds, Nitra from Canada, Innocent from Miami and local sounds, Stone Love and Cash Money. Hosted by New Kidz and introducing special guest artiste, 'Too Sweet', the party promises to be the event of the year for Portmore. Want to know more? Call 365-3534.
