Rising DJ star Assassin might get his chance to live up to the words of his hit song To Make Money. The DJ is heading out for an overseas gig on Friday, May 4, which he hopes will be the first of many to come. He's heading to Cayman to do a major performance and he plans to go into the United States after that to continue promoting his records.

The Camperdown graduate has had his hands full in recent times trying to balance his professional and personal life. Having left sixth form recently, he still has a huge following among girls of school age. Assassin says while he is aware of the desires out there, he is staying focused on becoming a superstar.

Ace producer and artiste manager Clifton 'Specialist' Dillon is in town. Showbiz spoke with him on the set of the new movie 'Shottas' which was being shot on Knutsford Boulevard.

Specialist said he was delighted to be in Jamaica as he has been spending most of his time putting his record company together in Miami. 'Specialist' is here with Kymani Marley, who is one of the stars of the movie.

Gerald Belnavis, who was a partner in Main Street Records along with Danny Browne, has set up his own company, Access Entertainment. Belnavis, who is brother of Benjy, the bassist with the Ruff Kutt Krew, is an accomplished guitarist who has chosen to concentrate his efforts on the administrative side of the music business. Belnavis is presently doing bookings for General Degree and other artistes.

In The Street Records is now three years old and it continues to grow with each passing year. The company's roster of artistes includes Vegas, Hawkeye, Alozade, Lady G and Jack A Diamond. The company is run by former financial sector employee Byron Murray, who seems to be doing a very good job with the artistes.
