Posted on May 15, 2015 by swadedavillain

Dancehall artiste QQ’s recent single entitled ‘Number One’ has had many single ladies turning their heads. The single produced by Johnny Wonder of 21st Hapilos Production and Adde Instrumentals on the Lost Keys Riddim speaks to a mysterious lady that could be QQ’s better half. With lines such as “no matter if mi have a million gal…. you a di one” and “…more time mi act selfish I’m only human and the only thing that matter to me a dat you a di one” have caused many to ask who is the mysterious lady?

The One Drop artiste embarked on his Jack Hammer Tour in March and has performed on over 30 stages to screaming female fans. It is no surprise that QQ, who is now a father has a large female fan base after his transformation in recent times. When asked about this mysterious lady QQ shared, “I love all ladies but you have to settle down at some point in time; as to if I am settling down, I would let the song answer that”.

With the success of the Jack Hammer Tour, QQ has had many high points and one low. GQ, Manager and father of QQ had shared in a recent release that QQ had been recovering from a series of nose bleeds caused by his frequent flying. QQ is now back on track and has since released ‘Next One’ produced by Dre Skull and ‘Pound and a Half a mix Flour’ produced by QG Productions.

QQ, who is presently in Canada, will release his ‘Jack Hammer’ video this week.
