Being the 6th of its kind, Contagious was once again held on the compound of St. Mary's College. The TJJ crew was cordially invited, and as such, thought it only right that we passed through and showed some luv. Now being a school related event, things were carded to kick off quite early... 6:30 PM!! In our books, that's the time we find ourselves now thawing out from de night before.

So it's no mystery to say that we not as punctual as folks might have expected us to be. Our bad!! Rolling in at about 7:30 PM, it was straight into action for us as the fashion show was already on de way. The largely constructed catwalk ran its course down nearly halfway through the audience giving all a good opportunity to see the many teen models sporting the various fashions and styles. We only got a brief 15 minute viewing of the action that took place during the fashion show, but from the looks of things, it seemed like a sold out event that was enjoyed by all.

Next up was the After Party. Here is where all those young folks were hoping to relieve some stress and break away ah lil' bit. Opening the show was Ziggy Ranking who warmed things up in de earlies. Dance group Unique Style then took the stage and did a little performance while DJ Marcus and Titan controlled the 1’s & 2’s. Not too long after, official hosts of the after party Kris-Michael Remy Drakes and Jason Williams then continued to entertain and hype the crowd.

Now the secession was supposed to continue until 12 AM but we left a bit earlier, and as such didn't get the opportunity to see some of the other surprise guest artists that passed through such as Umi Marcano, Michelle Sylvester and Terry Seals. We are sure that these artists would have only added to the delight of the crowd, whose energy levels were really soaring tonight. Big up to all CIC massive and crew.

D' local Juice signing out.
