Manna Panna

<p>Born Courtney Crosdale on May 19, 1971 in Kingston, Jamaica, MANNA PANNA became apart of the <a href="http://www.bigupradio.com/labelDetail.jsp?lid=252">Shocking Vibes</a> crew in 1988. While there he helped market and break such artists as <a href="http://www.bigupradio.com/artistDetail.jsp?aid=287">Beenie Man</a> and <a href="http://www.bigupradio.com/artistDetail.jsp?aid=2760">Little Kirk</a>. So he knows what it takes to make it. Since Shocking Vibes was jointly apart of <a href="http://www.bigupradio.com/labelDetail.jsp?lid=69">Penthouse</a> Recording Studio at the time, he met <a href="http://www.bigupradio.com/artistDetail.jsp?aid=413">Tony Rebel</a>, the head of the Flames crew. Shortly thereafter he joined them as well. So MANNA joined the likes of <a href="http://www.bigupradio.com/artistDetail.jsp?aid=1962">Utan Green </a>, <a href="http://www.bigupradio.com/artistDetail.jsp?aid=340">Garnett Silk</a>, <a href="http://www.bigupradio.com/artistDetail.jsp?aid=479">Kulcha Knox</a> and <a href="http://www.bigupradio.com/artistDetail.jsp?aid=36">Everton Blender</a>. He has constantly worked on his career with this crew, especially doing stage shows throughout Jamaica. </p>
<p>MANNA PANNA's first big hit came on the Lalabella rhythm and album of the same name. The song was called"Black People Unite". His second recording is on the <a href="KULCHA%20SHOK%20MUZIK">KULCHA SHOK</a> CD "KULCHARAL DANCEHALL" called "REALITY." A nice easy roots/dancehall tune symbolic of MANNA PANNA. Some of the major shows he has appeared on are Everton Blender's Birthday Bash.Tribute to Garnett Silk, Culture on the Wharf and the annual Rebel Salute.Manna Panna has released his second and latest single for Kulcha Shok, "One Day at a Time."
