With collaborations between Dancehall and Hip hop artist now proving to be commercially viable like in the case of NY Rapper Mims ft both Junoir Reid & Cham, Kat Deluna ft. the likes of the energy god Elephant Man and Eve ft Mr. Sean Paul himself, the cassava piece Gangsta DJ Mavado has joined the club with a scorching hot feature on Foxy Browns KOCH Records Album.
The single entitled FIRE looks to be the first release off the album which has seen some delay due to the female rappers current incarceration. Brown was sentenced to one year in jail for violating her probation on numerous occasions. Producer Bob Perry who represents Koch records visited Jamaica last week to meet with Mavado and management to commence work on the DJs portion of the single. Recorded at Dasecas Red Hills Road Studio Perry tracked Mavados vocals and will be adding it to Browns pre recorded intro and verses said to have been done months before her September 7th court sentencing.
Mavado who released his Gangsta for Life: Symphony of David Brooks album for VP Records in July has been breaking bread with some of hip hops finest including Wyclef, Uncle Sam and Busta Rhymes all of whom feature the Real McKoy DJ on their albums. All in all the collaboration promises to be a hit, KOCH has outlined that they have invested heavily in Foxy Browns current effort and will be rolling out the promotion campaign shortly. Her album is due out in November.
