Dancehall artiste Tugstar resides in Vancouver, Canada but presently has one of the hottest songs in Jamaica. Twinned with a choreographed football move created by renown dancer Shelly Belly, the\u00a0\u2018Knock E Ball\u2019<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0dance moves have taken over the streets of Jamaica and is one of the biggest crazes in dancehall.<\/p>\n

In 2021, Tugstar had an epiphany when he saw dancer Shelly Belly on Instagram doing a dance move mimicking playing football. Immediately he contacted Shelly Belly, and after several conversations and sessions in the studio,\u00a0\u2018Knock E Ball\u2019<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0was born.<\/p>\n

According to Tugstar, the song took on a life by itself, and the response from the crowd when he performed it live for the first time in Jamaica recently was a revelation. \u201cThe trip to Jamaica was great, the same day I arrived, that same night I performed the song live at a welcome party put on by Shelly Belly,\u201d he said. \u201cThe positive reaction from the people including celebrities like Bounty Killa, Ding Dong, Boom Boom and all the top selecta dem that was there, opened my eyes to what a gwaan with the song, it was a great joy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tugstar travelled to Jamaica to shoot a video for\u00a0\u2018Knock E Ball\u2019<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0and to promote his hot single. While he was there, he did several radio interviews and appeared on several popular television shows like\u00a0Intence<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0The Release.<\/strong>\u00a0He also performed live on the 2022 launch of the popular series\u00a0Dancing Dynamite<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Tugstar assembled some of Jamaica\u2019s well-known dancers to participate in the video. Superstar Bounty Killer also made a cameo appearance.\u00a0\u2018Knock E Ball\u2019<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0has gained so much momentum it has made it to Bobby Konder\u2019s playlist on Hits 97 FM in New York.<\/p>\n

Howard \u201cTug Star\u201d Johnson was born in May Pen, Clarendon, Jamaica and migrated to Vancouver, Canada in 2017. His previously known work includes\u00a0\u2018Wine and Boom\u2019<\/em><\/strong>,\u00a0\u2018Life Goes On<\/em><\/strong>,\u00a0\u2018Nah Sleep Wine\u2019<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>and his 2017 hit\u00a0\u2018Blaze the Chalice\u2019<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0got over 400,000 plays on Soundcloud.<\/p>\n

\u2018Knock E Ball\u2019<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0is produced by DJ Kemo out of Vancouver and is a total Canadian production. Tugstar is currently working on his follow-up single and has no doubt it will seal his name in the dancehall superstar registry.<\/p>\n
