HIGH-flying musician, Jah Prayzah still dreams of performing for his fans in Canada soon after a planned trip to the North American country flopped last year. There were claims last year that a tour of Canada flopped after a promoter failed to fulfil his side of the contract and this time, Jah Prayzah has roped in Afrolive and Impala Car Rental to ensure a smooth trip to North America.
