Catalog · 2010 – 2015
Thirty-plus singles before the chapter.
The 2026 campaign is not a debut. The work has been running since 2010 — across NVUS Records, KVL Records, JAFRICA Records, and independent platforms. Thirty-plus singles in public press archives, forty-plus per Anthera Music records.
Era One · 2010–2013
The Independent Run
Self-released. The decade where the dancehall pen was sharpened in real time — domestic truth, street observation, and the breakthrough record that announced the writer to the Caribbean.
Era Two · 2013–2015
The Imprint Years
Catalog moves through NVUS Records, with parallel work via KVL Records and JAFRICA Records. The writing stretches — collaborations with Beenie Man's brother Kirk Davis, with Spugy B and Gud Gyal — and the conscious pivot begins to surface.
The breakthrough · December 2012
Move Out Mi Tings
Written in two days. Sustained television rotation across CVM HD · TVJ · Hype TV · Swag TV · Links TV · ReTV. Jamaica Star feature, January 2013. OutKast Ms. Jackson comparisons drawn by critics. The single that converted a working catalog into a Caribbean-wide name — and the record the 2026 chapter is a deliberate answer to.
“Instead of we having a physical war, mi just write di song.” — Merchant, 2013
