Koffee took the Jamaican culture to late night television in the US last night when she performed her latest single “Pull Up” from her upcoming debut album Gifted on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. The set was transformed into a dancehall with crates, speaker systems and dancers to accentuate the performance. As Fallon introduced the Sony Music artist, Chromatic sound reintroduced Koffee in true dancehall fashion.
“Yuh done know chromatic deh yah alongside the original Koffee from Jamaica, yo koffee you wah tell them”
The voice of Vybz Kartel can be heard echoing “Chromatic the ultimate” as she the took the stage to resounding applause and a “money pull” up by the selector.
Dressed in North Face army fatigue, Koffee sings “Pull up innah the audi yeah i nah watch nobody” as she showcased her Jamaican culture to the American audience.
Koffee joins a list of Jamaican singers to perform on Jimmy Fallon including, Beres Hammond and Chronixx who has performed twice
Shaggy has appeared on the show both as an interviewed guest and performer in the past.
Sean Paul has done his fair share of Late Night Tv shows and in the 1990s dancehall was frequently on show on Late Night television with performances from Shabba on The Late Show with David Letterman and the Asrenio Hall Show.
