People always say that I have a good ear for music and a good eye for talent...
Some of my friends can recall me telling dem to voice a yute name Bugle and that him aggo blow big (a lot of those friends regret not taking my advice)
The same can be said about a yute name Munga .and another one name Charly Black ... ask di people dem in Pittsburgh if yu no believe me
I think because of this many young and upcoming artists tend to reach out to me at times, whether it be for collaborations, opportunities to voice on lamar clan riddims or just help and advice in general about promotion and getting your name out there. More establish artists contact me for help with Dub Programs, securing and or seeking dates in cities that I have contacts and or assistance in blasting songs etc (big up to each and every one of you on my email list you are appreciated)
Recently Ricky Blair, a good friend of mine, asked me to check out an artist from my place (Westmoreland). His name was J-Yungg the Greensman and he, according to Blair, had a song that Ron Muschette (Irie FM) played religiously every morning.
My intitial response was "J- Who ??" "Di green wah?" "My lord a Lamar Clan mi ting deh.. no have no time fi check out Jay Di Green Man, wah kinda fucking name is that anyways?!?"
"J-yungg" he went on to explain to me was, "a rapper who lives in Jamaica."
Even that kinda turned me off cause me a say "a reggae and dancehall mi ting deh!!!"
Mi haffi bless up Ricky Blair cause somehow he got me to listen to the song and I was impressed as you will be after you listen to the song.
His style is unique it can be described as hip hop influenced dancehall or dancehall influenced hip hop (whichever makes you feel better) but regardless di man style siiiiik as I-Octane would say. Catchy hook, strong lyrical content ... mad flows .. and inflections ...
The song "Moving Up" made me proud. Proud that this quality music was coming from "my place" and reggae country club in jamaica couldn't lock it out.
This prompted me to seek more info on the "greensman" as he calls himself
(for your own research you can follow him on twitter @JYunggMusic)
And after our initial hour plus conversation all I can say is J-Yungg the greensman is a talented young Jamaican musician , who has huge cross-over potential, is well grounded , focused, loyal to his team and ready for take his piece of the music pie.
I am providing the download links to 3 of his songs
