Pleased with international progress

Assassin

DEEJAY ASSASSIN SAYS he is pleased with the international progress of dancehall music, as it has been attracting a lot of interest.

"We have captured the overseas interest, so it is up to us to produce the material to keep them interested," Assassin said.

The deejay said that now that the door was opened he was hoping that artistes and other persons in the local music industry will be able to step up to the plate. "For the last ten years everybody a seh dem waan fi tek it (the music) to the next level. Now we are there, let's see if we are prepared to handle it," he said.
