"Tek Weh Yuh Self" Makes Best Songs of 08

The fire of Mr. Vegas' killer single "Tek Weh Yuh Self" continues to burn after years of getting love in the dancehalls. Recently, the monster hit "Tek Weh Yuh Self" was voted #74 on Vibe Magazine's "80 Best Songs of 08" list.

Mr. Vegas' presence on the Vibe list is by all means a pleasant surprise. And even more impressive is the fact that Mr. Vegas is one of only two dancehall artists to make the billing, the second is Mavado. The phone lines have been ringing incessantly since the January 2009 issue of Vibe was released.

According to Vibe Magazine, "Tek Weh Yuh Self" thrived in part because it featured "one of dancehall's perennial hitmakers over a stripped-down, spring-loaded track."

"It is overwhelming to know that the music that I am making has longevity," says Vegas sincerely. "Even though I recorded 'Tek Weh Yuh Self' some time ago -- each time I perform it, the audience reacts as if it is a brand new song."

It's clear that Mr. Vegas has the ability to meticulously deliver straight dancehall music to the doorsteps of a mainstream audience. Making Vibe's "80 Best Songs of 08" is just another example of Mr. Vegas' universal appeal. The dancehall star shared a spot on the list along with heavy weight artists including Mariah Carey, 50 Cent, T-Pain, Lil' Wayne, Chris Brown, Rihanna and Jay Z to name a few.

"Tek Weh Yuh Self" is just one of Mr. Vegas' hits that are receiving attention. The omnipotent "Mus Come a Road" continues to dominate loads of international charts. And the steamy new single "Deh Pon De Scene" is killing the place.
