Dancehall artiste I-Octane, fresh from his performance at Rebel Salute last Friday, soared to new heights during his energetic set at the anniversary of Rumbar Chug It beach party at Sugarman's Beach, Hellshire, Portmore, St Catherine, last Sunday.

During his performance, he belted lyrics from hits such as Badmind Dem A Pree, Mama You Alone, LOVE YOU, My Story, and the humorous tune Gal A Gimme Bun.

He took time out to big up Portmore artiste Vybz Kartel, who, he says, despite being in prison, is still the most-talked-about dancehall artiste today, which gave him numerous forwards. He dedicated the tune Study Yuh Friends to Kartel.

The artiste's set was cut short by police at the venue, and he made a hasty retreat off stage, closing by singing We Love The Vibes a capella.

Patrons partied for another 30 minutes before departing.

The anniversary brought out some big names from Worthy Park Estate Limited, whose brand Rumbar white overproof rum is the main sponsor of the event.

The list included Gordon Clarke, director of Worthy Park Estate Limited; Omar Mundy, demand specialist; Kingsley Leslie, regional sales coordinator; Austin Perry, demand specialist and Van Detrick Foster, regional sales coordinator.
