Daminance tackles ‘ZOSO’ on new single

Dancehall artiste Anthony 'Daminance' Williams has released a social commentary single titled ZOSO.

"I see this song as really social commentary because these are events that are happening. I see myself as reflecting the streets, talking about real things. Respect to the police who are doing their thing," he said.

Parliament has approved the extension of the zones of special operations in Mount Salem, St James and Denham Town, Kingston.

In February, Prime Minister Andrew Holness sought and received the approval of Parliament for the extension of the two zones for a further 60 days.

EFFECTIVE MEASURES

The security measures in both communities have been effective as there has been a significant reduction in murders in both zones.

Known for his futuristic deejay style, a cross of hardcore dancehall and melodic rap, Daminance has quickly emerged as one of the island's top rising deejay prospects in 2019.

He is not afraid to stoke the fires of controversy with his sometimes raunchy lyrics.

He has been generating incredible buzz with his single My Head My Shoulder, featuring dancer Thickbad.

Produced by Prince Villa Records and released in January, the song has been put into regular rotation at dances all over the island because of its catchy, schoolyard nursery rhyme chorus.

"Almost every morning I wake up to videos from the various dances, with people doing the dance because of the great promotional work done by Thickbad; she conceptualised a whole dance around the song and the people dem a run with it," he said.

There are plans to shoot a video for My Head My Shoulder next month.
