Kuanna gives the ‘royal’ treatment on new single

Reggae artiste Kuanna is generating a buzz in music circles with her new single, titled ' Royal Queen', on the new Roku rhythm.

Mineral Boss Records' CEO Tawanna Jones personally reached out to Kuanna to record the single.

"She reached out to me after the viral success of my previous song. So this single was originally called Viral Queen, but then Spragga Benz heard it and said 'why not shift the viral to royal?' and that's how the song became Royal Queen. The song is a great follow-up and I am getting a great vibration from the public with it," said the artiste who was formerly known as Sista Quanna.

Given the advanced buzz, Kuanna said that she is planning to shoot visuals to help promote the project which she believes is a great follow-up to her single Pedophile Warning.

"The fans want to hear more from Kuanna and that is why I have been doing a number of singles which will be part of my EP which will be released in 2022," she said.

Kuanna first jumped into the national spotlight with Pedophile Warning, on which she preached a type of 'jungle justice', suggesting that corporal punishment and humiliation should be meted out to those guilty of abusing children. A clip of her performing the song was shared by many music bigwigs, including Chronixx, Spragga Benz and legendary hip-hop producer Pete Rock.

Kuanna, whose given name is Sharnett Shereta Eccleston, grew up in Deeside, Trelawny. Her talent was evident from the age of five, as she was raised in the Poco revival church, never straying from her African roots.
