Last week, Lt. Stitchie, who is also known as the Dancehall Governor, returned to Jamaica after wrapping up the first leg of his Masterclass Tour in Europe. The artist performed on ten major festivals in Spain, Germany, Belgium, England, Italy and France.
While on the road, Stitchie took time out to shoot two new music videos from the album, plus three live videos; one of which was for Manudigital‘s popular YouTube Artist Series. He also did approximately ten interviews via Radio, Podcast, Cable TV and magazines. If all that was not enough, the Governor somehow found time to engage in several successful dub-plate sessions.
Masterclass was released on April 12th of this year. It’s a 17-track album that features collaborations with Agent Sasco, Ricky Stereo, Million Stylez and Fantan Mojah. Producers include: Roy “Gramps” Morgan, Emmanuel “Manudigital” Herron and Cleve “Lt. Stitchie” Laing. Since its release, Masterclass entered the Top 20 Global Reggae Chart at #8 and it continues to do well on all reggae, dancehall and gospel platforms.
