Jamaican recording artiste Ras Slick fired up his pipes for the Pepsi Stronger Together world stage at the 31st annual Giant National Capital Barbecue Battle in Washington DC. 

Alongside his Dutty Bus Crew band, the top crooner brought an electrifying brand of reggae music and vibes to the end of June epic summer celebration of food, music, art and culture.

The ‘Zone‘ singer, who is celebrated by fans for his energetic, engaging and musically-charged annual festival appearances, believed that serving up an unforgettable performance at Washington, DC’s tastiest event of the year was a must. Notably, Ras Slick was one of several world class entertainment acts billed for the Pepsi Stronger Together stage.

Festival goers got to experience two days of incredible sights, sounds and the hickory aroma of all things BBQ, while top chefs along with BBQ legends competed in a high stakes series of national championship contests. Granted an hour long set, Ras Slick satisfied the crowd’s musical appetite, as they grooved in between BBQ indulging.

As the ‘Banger‘ singer kick started a new festival season, fans couldn’t be happier! With the BBQ battles attracting upwards of 125,000 visitors annually, there is no doubt that Ras Slick exponentially increased his stock following the performance.

Just when you thought things couldn’t get hotter, the entertainer is keeping the momentum going with a packed festival schedule, which includes a Caribbean American Heritage Month celebration, Linganore Winecellars Summer Reggae Fest (Mt. Airy, Maryland) and Jamaica Fest “Link Up”(Silver Spring, Maryland), among others.

Also focused on cooking up some new red-hot music, Ras Slick hinted at a summer release of ‘Your Body‘.

“Listeners will experience my versatility on this song, which offers a burst of world music,” he says.
