Sanity House Party

Dancehall artiste Sanity is set to release the music video for his hot new single ‘House Party’. The song produced by UIM Records on the ‘Top Class Riddim’ has been receiving high praises from the dancehall community; some are calling it the song of the summer!

This music video will feature cameo appearances from upcoming recording artistes such as Chedda, The Wizard, and members of Orange Hill Records. The video shot by RD Studios paints a very comedic and entertaining story of family life, with an unexpected twist. Sanity shared,”The journey to making the video was really a great experience. It is my first official video and so I went all out to organize it. It was hectic, but worth it.”

Sanity hails from Vineyard town, Kingston and has been doing music since 2008. His musical style can be described as ‘versatile’ and ‘melodious’ as it is heavily inspired by the dancehall, reggae, hip hop and R&B genres. Widely known for his confidence, charisma and lyrical ability, Sanity has worked and built relationships with top recording labels such as UIM Records, Renaissance, Deadline Records and Tuff Chin Records who now fully endorse his career. While working with these companies he has released other singles such as ‘Pocket Fat’, ‘She Find Out’, and ‘Nuh Trust People’.

The vibes, the people and no one looks at you like, you’re crazy when you’re singing and dancing on the streets. The vibes in the Clubs tun up! Every summer there is a different style, so the ladies think about what to wear for the season,” Miss Str8 reflects.

She recalls some of her most memorable summer experiences, “I went on a Caribbean cruise with my son, it was extremely nice, he loved it. I also had an awesome time at the Legoland Deutschland resort in Germany, that was crazy fun”

Summertime was produced by, Ras Askia of Hardcore Production and is now available on iTunes. Miss Str8 said, “An official music video is currently in the making and will be released early July. It will feature dancers: Barbie Slimaz from Aruba, Tamica flex doll from Germany, My BFF Stella and Tatjana my son Jafari. The Summertime artwork cover is spectacular and was done by Dobra Fiezt-Bridges.”
