Recording Artiste Badd Indyann exercises his lyrical potency with his new viral video for the single ‘Destroy 80’. The ‘Game Head’ artiste speaks to his love for music and him being the ‘New Era Lyricist’. The song produced by Garrison Inc Production quotes Indyann singing: “Lyrically me savvy with a creative energy; it’s like a bond with di music but it’s more than chemistry; stratospherical connections with d stars and galaxy”.
The single has been receiving a lot of online support and mixed commentary. Badd Indyann said “I did a song called Game Head that has been doing well underground and this opened my eyes to a new fan base but Destroy 80 is a more hardcore Dancehall single”. Badd Indyann added that he is ready to start promoting in the streets of Jamaica where he is made aware his music is being supported.
Another most recent successful single for Badd Indyann is entitled ‘Game Head’ on the ‘Press Gas Riddim’ produced by Eldoh Rado Production based in Montego Bay, Jamaica. With over 200,000 views the video for the single was shot by OCM Productions which features the Artiste in bed with a female model playing video games and getting intimate. Badd Indyann is now back on the promotional trail to promote ‘Destroy 80’ and soon after his follow-up single ‘World Travel’ produced by Ehvenz Production. He said “Based on the success of ‘Game Head’, I am eager to get back to work to make Destroy 80 a success”.

Cashflow Recording Artiste Fabian has been receiving mixed reactions online for the single ‘Truth’ produced by Psy-en-tiz from New York. The single which quotes Fabian’s Alter Ego, “Alkaline a run Dancehall an we all know a di truth dis… how teacha fi run Dancehall being incarcerated…” has received over 600,000 views since its release on YouTube.
Several Bloggers, Selectors, and Dancers have posted clippings of the video on their Instagram pages inclusive of Dancehall Queens Sher and Latesha. Fabian said, “As a young Artiste it’s hard for me to get my respect so I have to demand it especially as a Singer. This song shows a more hardcore Dancehall side of me and I have been receiving a lot of good feedback”. The Artiste who has been with Cashflow Records for over 5 years has been pushing barriers when it comes to his music.
Fabian who is known for his collaboration with Digicel Rising Star Winner Tash in 2011 titled ‘It’s In The Books’, released another song called ‘Nah Give Up’ on the ‘Psalms 91 Riddim’ which was produced by Cashflow Records. Fabian said, “I have great songs but they were often times not supported, but my single the Truth is currently creating a buzz within the Entertainment Industry”. The Artiste believes that he needed to step outside of just being a ‘Singer’ to now creating lyrics that he describes as ‘head turning’.
Fabian’s music can be found on cashflowmusicstore.com, on iTunes, and also on Social Media through Facebook/Fabian Albert Allen; Instagram @singerfabiancashflow and Twitter @singerfabian.
