1:35AM: Ahead of the very final batch of awards, Jupitar D General takes on the stage to do his thing with Money a Fi Make.

JupitaR now performing his dancehall Azonto influenced song Wind go down. The transitions to other songs is just amazing as he leaves the stage for Stonebwoy who starts with Onumade.

Characteristic of the dancehall artist, he brings in a different enrgy altogether and never falls short of his own standards.

1:49AM: It seems its time for dancehall artists as Samini bounces on stage and starts the performance with Time bomb. He is indeed a perfomer as he takes a lot of the audience along the performance. He does a throwback by performing his Linda tune.
