It’s that time again to PAY ATTENTION and recently KLAS Lifestyle got a chance to Interview some of the players in the Pay Attention series. Hosted by Garth Williams, Rappers The Sickest Drama (TSD) and Rseenal were featured guests. Here they spoke about Jamaican Hip Hop and how the culture differs from their American counterparts, Jamaica opening up to accommodate the movement, the Pay Attention event and artists making strides to carry the culture across the globe. A good listen here and for those who aren’t familiar, head out to the C&C South Beach (South Beach Cafe) on January 31 and witness the movement in all its glory. Check out the Interview below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
Recording artiste Delus has been receiving a lot of support for his single ‘Afraid to Love Again’. The single has also sparked much debate on social media from his fans about his personal life. ‘Afraid to Love Again’ speaks about his heart breaks and relationships and shows a more vulnerable side of the artiste.
He shared “the inspiration for this song was based on true events in my life. Most people who have been in relationships and break up because of infidelity can relate to this song”. The single, produced by World Union on the ‘Four Seasons Riddim’, came after the success of ‘Another Gal’ which was released in January of 2011. ‘Another Gal’ also spoke about infidelity in relationships but, if you follow the storyline carefully Delus released another single entitled ‘Mi Find Her’ in December of the same year; now he is afraid to love again!
The Subkonshus signed artiste has since released ‘Love Hates You’ produced by Broxton Music and let us not forget the popular ‘Gallis (From Birth)’ single by Blaqk Sheep. When asked about his present relationship status and the releases of these story telling singles he had this to say, “I honestly had not planned that these songs be released in any particular order; I guess it’s just musical destiny. As for my relationship status, I am sure my music will give you updates”.
Delus is set to release his EP in March 2015 and possibly the lady interest influencing the lyrics behind his singles.
