I-OCTANE IN DEFENSIVE MODE

Kingston Jamaica - Singjay I-Octane has released two brand new singles and they both share one thing in common — his staunch support! In Wah Money on the Ja Productions label he adds his voice to the poor as he chants “politician come back fi unno gun dem ... a more money fi di slum dem, ghetto youths better than big rifle, ghetto youths nuh wah fi dead... before segueing into the chorus of “The people dem wah money, di people dem need money..” The song is another intense look at the stark reality of ghetto livity. The Digicel Brand ambassador shows his insight into the plight of suffering youths on this one. A while back the singjay stirred some controversy with his hugely popular ganja-loving song Puff It ... well the Good Good Productions’ Bun It and Laugh could easily be dubbed part two. In this one I-Octane doesn’t hold back his fondness for the herb that “give him a charge”. After listening the only thing to say is “gi mi di light!” Listening to the two singles there is no doubt that they have the makings to follow in the steps of their predecessors such as Lose A Friend and My Life. The videos for Wah Money and Bun It and laugh will be done by Scorpio 21 no strangers to working with him as they also did My Story, Jiggle Fi Mi and L.O.V.E. Y.O.U. The singjay is definitely on a roll and there seems to be no end where his creativity is concerned. Coming hot from a performance at Great Adventures in New Jersey alongside Barrington Levy and Mavado - a week after being released from hospital he will now set his sights on Dominica where he will perform for the first time this Sunday, August 26.
