Arguably not every artiste an enlist the services of a Tessanne Chin, Assassin, aka Agent Sasco and Tarrus Riley for an album showcase.
But then, not every artiste is Wayne Marshall, who officially presented his latest full-length "Tru Colours" to the public at Chris Gayle's Triple Century Sports Bar in New Kingston.
he began the performance segment in a more serious guise, attending to social issues like violent crime ("Strike Them") and diverging paths ("On The Corner" which samples REM's 'Losing My Religion') before dedicating a segment to wife Tami Chynn who was absent from the proceedings.
Marshall has varied association's with Bounty Killa's Alliance camp (Killa turned up to support but did not take the stage), as well as with Damian "Jr Gong" Marley (who has executive producer credits on the disc) as well as with footballer BiBi Gardner (a fellow Wolmerian) and the aforementioned guest artistes.
And it was Riley, guesting on "Nah Give Up" , Tessanne (who also performed her latest single "Everything Reminds Me of You") and Assassin on "Go Hard" and "Stupid Money" (also featuring Marshall's 8-year old son Gio) who added most life to the night's offering.
Guests, drawn from the music, sports and business worlds, sipped specia Tru-Juice and Appleton cocktails through the night.
