Gyptian

The artiste, who had his album release party in South Florida over the weekend, has been enjoying chart success with his new album, Hold You, which continues to hold the #2 spot on Billboard's Reggae Albums Chart. The title track, "Hold You," has become a multi-chart hit worldwide and deemed a "2010 Summer Anthem." According to Billboard Magazine, "not since Wayne Wonder's "No Letting Go," has an underground reggae artiste garnered as much attention in the United States as Jamaica's own Gyptian."

SPIN Magazine gave Hold You "3 Stars" while The Washington Post named Gyptian "the owner of the summer's most compelling dancehall hit."

In addition to the Distant Relatives tour dates, Gyptian will also headline dates through October and then head to Europe for tour dates.
