RnB singer Bobby Valentino and the Gully God Mavado have been lacing each other's songs recently.
Big fans of each other's music, the link was made by Mavado's management and resulted in Bobby inviting Mavado to jump on the remix for his "Hands on Me" single. In turn, Bobby has also sung on Mavado's ladies anthem "Never Believe You," which will drop in time for Summer.
Atlanta native Bobby Valentino's last single "Beep" was a certified smash and he has also been enjoying huge airplay with the hook on Lil Wayne's platinum monster "Mrs. Officer."
Mavado just returned to Jamaica after performing at the St Maarten Carnival celebrations at the Festival Village. Giving another performance to remember to a huge crowd. Mavado's show was given an extra lift by a surprise on-stage appearance from the Queen of Soca Alison Hinds, who thrilled the crowd when she answered the Gully god's call and came out and whined with him while the Anger Management band played Force It Up!
If you're anywhere near Florida this Monday don't forget you can catch Mavado and fellow Alliance member Serani at DJ Pro Style's Birthday Bash at the UCF Arena in Orlando, alongside Soulja Boy, Jadakiss, Ron Browz, Mims, Rick Ross and many more.

David 'Barber Boi aka Gully Gawd aka Gully Monkey aka Mavado' Brooks is at it Again, teams up with Reggaeton singer De La Ghetto!
Dancehall and reggaeton has collided on popular American station BET, with the recent premiere of the Come Out And See video by singjay Mavado and Puerto Rican artiste, Della Ghetto on 106 & Park.Come Out and See is produced by Equiknoxx Music and Grav-T productions in Jamaica and the video shot in Cassava Piece and surrounding locations in Kingston by famed director Dantheman.
Last week the song premiered as the 'New Joint of the Week' on BET, making this Mavado's second appearance on the show, following the debut of his So Special video recently. The song also appears on Della Ghetto's album titled Massacre Musical, which has been climbing the Latin Billboard charts.
Equiknoxx producer Gavin Blair, explained how the song came about saying, "Della Ghetto wanted to work with fresh Jamaican producers to do a combination with Mavado who he had previously met in Miami and discussed the collaboration. He linked Jazzy T and he in turn linked us."
He continued, "Della Ghetto came to Jamaica and came by the studio where we vibed like tons of beats. We came up with about ten songs in the space of about four hours. we then handpicked the final two, then Mavado's manager Julian came by and picked them up and played them for Mavado where we agreed on one. We all met at Big Yard studio a day after and recorded the final track. They came back to do the video some months after."

SINGJAY MAVADO'S new album, Mr Brooks - A Better Tomorrow, has made a slow start. The highly anticipated set, distributed by VP Records, failed to make any of Billboard magazine's major charts in its first week of release.A Better Tomorrow entered the publication's Reggae Chart at number one.
Expectations have been strong for the album, which was released March 3. Its lead song, So Special, made Billboard's R&B/Hip Hop chart and set the stage for a flurry of media coverage for A Better Tomorrow.

Mavado is best known for the hit songs, On The Rock and Overcome. The former has been sampled by hip hop heavyweight, Jay Z.
His gritty portrayal of ghetto life in Kingston has made him the hottest act in dancehall. It has also won him numerous hip hop fans.
BET have reversed their last minute decision to pull the airing of Mavado's "So Special" video from its flagship 106 & Park show, and have now confirmed they will be airing the video as "New Joint of the Week" this coming Tuesday, March 3rd."In some ways the timing worked out even better!" said manager Julian Jones-Griffith. "Mavado's album Mr Brooks - A Better Tomorrow is released on March 3rd, the same day the video will air, so hopefully it will give it that extra push."
BET's decision to pull the So Special video after advertising it's airing irked fans around the world, many of whom skipped work early and cancelled appointments to tune into the show, only to be disappointed.
After much back and forth and re-editing the video has now been accepted by the top brass at BET and passed for inclusion in Tuesday's 106 & Park.
Mavado made a show-stealing performance at BET's Rip the Runway, which also airs this Monday at 9pm.

Jamaican superstar Mavado is being heralded as the savior of Dancehall, very ironic after years of vilification in the media, but it’s easy to see why. Currently breaking barriers for Dancehall music, Mavado is firmly entrenching himself in the fabric of US popular culture. Another round of promotion in New York saw Mavado make an appearance at the MTV studios in Times Square, where he recorded an in-depth interview with Rahman Dukes for the station's flagship MTV News slot.From there it was on to the G Unit offices, to record an interview for 50 Cent's wildly popular entertainment website www.thisis50.com. The videotaped interview will go up on Sunday on thisis50.com and will run the whole of next week, coinciding with the March 3rd release of Mavado's sophomore album "Mr Brooks - A Better Tomorrow."
MAVADO CREATES MORE HISTORY
With the release of his sophomore album Mr Brooks - A Better Tomorrow, on digital format via iTunes exclusively a week prior to the physical CD release, Mavado has once again broke new ground for Dancehall.

Today that changed for the first time ever, as Mavado took the top spot with his "Mr Brooks" album, released yesterday.
