The song was my response to how I see women being treated in today’s society especially the melanin-rich ones.

What were the biggest initial hurdles to pursuing your musical dreams and how did you
overcome them?
It was mostly fear of how I would be accepted creating this unique blend of hip hop and dance hall. I also had to do a lot of research before releasing music on DSP because I simply didn’t know how to monetize the music.

Doing this interview with African Hype, I’m excited to be recognized in any fashion in the motherland and being interviewed on a Jamaican radio station.

Davido, Chris brown, bounty killa or Dj premiere. Those songs would be golden to me.

Are you working independently or with any production house or recording label?
I am currently working independently and improving on my marketing because I do believe I have quality music that I hope a few people might like.
