So Mr. Slaughter (formerly known as Dawg-E-Slaughter) came to Dominica in Christmas for Bouyon Slam and look rain. It just rained and rained all night. And the next evening weather nice. Sweet breeze flowing, temperature just right. That's Dominica for you. Anyways the show got cancelled. He did show up on the Canefield playing field the day after Bouyon Slam was to take place and did a likkle ting. MFR and Triple Kay were jamming that day. And here is a pic of me and Mr. Slaughter after his performance.
He's coming back Dominica. Friday Jan. 30th is the big day. So make sure you are there at the Crazy Banana (formely Green Grasshopper)
