The Monster Empire, formerly known as the Monster Shack Crew, has revamped their image.
The group says they will be taking its music 'To Di World' as they feel that there are persons within the music industry who are trying to give them a fight.
The group, which comprises Ghost, General B and Roundhead, recently released a single for that reason and with that title.
According to Ghost, "we feel good about the single (To Di World), but is just that some deejays and disc jockeys wi know nah play di songs. Is like dem nuh waan si di rebirth of Monster Empire. But coming out of Jamaica everybody basically a play it. But mi cyan understand di few weh nah play it because dem grow up listening to us an learn how fi select wid our music, but di world is not fi di swift is fi who can endure."
Ghost says that as a result, "wi haffi out there in the streets 24/7 inna dem face, wi haffi a tek it to di people cause if wi fi wait pon dem (disc jocks and selectors) it nah guh happen, because di people dem nuh know sey a dem ting yah a gwaan behind di scene. Sometimes wi haffi guh inna di dance guh stan up side a dem fi dem play wi ting."
Despite getting a 'fight', the latest single from the Monster Empire has become quite popular among dancehall fans, especially dancers, who often use the title as a slang in their day-to-day conversations. The Timeless Dancers even have a dance of the same name.
According to General B, fans can also look out for their upcoming album which will bear the same title. The group is currently working on the album and hopes to complete it for release in 2008.
"The album has some more exclusive an mature messages pon it, an wi a guh touch pon everyting: war, reality, lovers rock, jump up, it's all good," General B said.
General B hopes for great responses to the album. "People a guh respond good, cause wi have some mix tapes out already an dem a gwaan. Wi also a work wid some big names weh mek riddim pon di album like Sly and Robby, Scatta and couple others.
"But right yah now wi a guh all out, from promotional pictures, cards and everything, because now is like a organisation wi a form, because the first time wi neva have dat, wi did just get a management team weh come spen di money an dem tek it back out a wi pay. But now things different, wi more mature an ting," General B said.
Ghost adds, "the video is out for To Di World and wi making a new video now name The Truth, suh wi basically a do di ground work an tek it from there."
The Monster Empire can be seen, live in action, in upcoming shows like, Camp Fire and Mavado's Birthday Bash.
