Ultimate Entertainment & Chris Hines Entertainment Launch the Ghetto Story Canadian Tour Starring Baby Cham!



From two of Canada's largest innovators in the music industry, Ultimate Entertainment.ca and Chris Hines Entertainment, comes the Ghetto Story Canadian Tour Starring Baby Cham! They brought you a sold out tour with Beenie Man in November 2006 and Lloyd Banks in December 2006, and they are doing it again. Both recent tours were successful all throughout the country and left their loyal customers hungry for more. Leaders in today's event planning, promoting and talent booking industry, Ultimate Ent. and Chris Hines Ent. apply a serious dedication in their work ethics. With thriving work experiences in the past with artists such as Mobb Deep, Lloyd Banks, Young Buck, Fabulous, 112, Mario, Bounty Killer, Sizzla, Capleton, Baby Cham and Sean Paul, amongst many others, they are determined to make their tour with Baby Cham an explicit success.

This is an 11-city tour that kicks off on Friday, February 2 in Oshawa at Lee Skratch Nightclub, running throughout the first two weeks of February, with Toronto as the last stop on February 16 at the Next Level inside The Docks.

This national tour is set to promote Baby Cham's latest release under Madhouse/Atlantic Records: " Ghetto Story." The album features hits such as "Ghetto Story Chapter 2" ft. Alicia Keys. The single peaked at number 77 on the Billboard Hot 100 trajectory, number 15 on the Billboard's Hip Hop/R&B Singles, and number 13 on the Billboard's Rap Tracks. It received heavy airplay on MTV2 and BET as well as Canada's Muchmusic. The video peaked on BET's 106 & Park at 5, making it one of the only reggae video's to reach the top 5 on that countdown. "Ghetto Story" also made it on the Rolling Stone's countdown this year at # 14, and Vibe at #7. The album also features the singles "Ghetto Story Chapter 3" ft. Akon, "Tic, Toc", "Rudeboy Pledge" as well as "Boom Boom" ft. Rihanna.

In Jamaica's ultra-competitive music scene, stars are born every day, and fade away just as fast. But ever since the mid-1990s, Baby Cham has represented the best of cutting-edge dancehall reggae. His every release seems to bring forth new sounds, new slang, and up-to-the minute ghetto news reports
guaranteed to bust the dance. Born and raised in Kingston Jamaica, young Damian Beckett survived his share of rough times along the way from Sherlock Crescent to Waterhouse. His love of music outweighed his talent for football and from his teenage years he devoted himself to developing his microphone skills. Working closely with the Mad People Gang, a.k.a. Madhouse Productions, Cham blazed a trail of hardcore classics like "Many Many," "Boom Tune," and "Man & Man," which were collected on his impeccable 2000 debut album " Wow: The Story."

In 2003, Cham released "Vitamin S", a boisterous hit, which lead to his deal on Atlantic Records, home to Jamaican hit maker Sean Paul and Yankee rap stars like Lil' Kim and Fat Joe. But his story was just beginning. Drawing inspiration from daily life in their troubled homeland, Cham and David "The Stranger" Kelly (Buju Banton, Terror Fabulous, and Beenie Man) created a dancehall masterpiece called "Ghetto Story," which hit the streets with a blast. Neither glorifying nor preaching against violence, "Ghetto Story" coldly examines the root causes behind the chronic brutality that has plagued Jamaica for a quarter century. "And when you check it," says Cham, " it's not just Jamaica. If you check the movie "City of God", ah the same way Brazil run. If you check "New Jack City," ah the same way New York run. If you check "Boyz N Da Hood," ah the same way L.A. runs. That's every ghetto. And that won't end unless we deal with it. It's a part of our history and the story has to be told for us to know where we are and where we're going."
