Reggae artist UZIMON is on his way back to the Island on a makeshift raft for the 'UZIMON Slaughta: An Old Skool Dancehall Stylee' performance at Docksiders tonight.

He sent a message to The Royal Gazette from his iPhone stating that he was somewhere near the Gulf Stream in the Atlantic Ocean. The artist is returning from a successful tour around New York City.

His 'message' said: "I, UZIMON, greatest reggae artist to ever live and die and keep living after that, want to inform all the nice and decent people of Bermuda that I have once again escaped Federal Custody in the USA.

"I am making my way across the Atlantic in a criss raft I made out of empty egg-foo-yong containers, a ping-pong table and a bicycle pump.

"I am navigating my way to Bermy using my wicked new Christopher-Columbus-Compass-Application pon mi i-Phone, and survivng off dead fish washing up the Gulf Stream from the BP oil spill.

"Me saw Tropical Storm Colin, and told him b'woy back off! So Bermy can thank me fa dat. If I don't die of sunstroke, I will be at Docksiders pon Friday. Hopefully they will have some aloe vera lotion (for my sun burn). Also these giant hooked-beak ugly birds have been circling around my raft fa several days now. Me nah like them."

If UZIMON 'survives' his trans-Atlantic voyage, he will kick off the night at 9 p.m. at the Front Street venue.

In addition the event will also feature DJ Butcha who will spin the tunes.

Entry: Ladies free and gentlemen $15, tickets can be purchased on the door.
