The Carlton 7’s have been creating quite the buzz around. However, the launch concert created quite the stir as this was probably the first time in Sri Lanka that such big stars have performed on one stage in one night. Shortly after their arrival in Colombo and a insane meet and greet session with their fans at ODEL, Alexandra Place, Daily Mirror Life caught up with Sean Kingston and Big Reeno for a quick chat and this is what they had to say:
