Dancehall artist Lady Shelly seems to be having a covert battle with some of reggaes top producers for what she calls misleading actions and promises. The artist relocated to Jamaica from Quebec in early 2007 after meeting with a producer who agreed that he would do some recording with her if she was residing on the island.

Shelly said that the promise was not kept. Instead,  the producer stringed her along by continuously arranging meetings that were not productive on any level. In an effort to make the best of a bad situation she immediately connected with other producers who all initially showed interest in her musical talents, but once a track was recorded, they delayed mixing and releasing it. She said that at first she doubted herself thinking that she just did not stack up to other artists and maybe that is why they are refusing to release her music. But after having a certified gold album in Canada and several number one songs in Europe she said there has to be more to it.

Lady Shelly recalls a conversation with promoter, Worrell King, who warned her that something like this would happen. Prior to moving back home, she had an in depth conversation with King who told her that  some producers will insinuate that she have sexual intercourse with them and if she doesnt show an interest, they may decline working with her. The artist also known as The Karamanti said that no producers openly asked her to have sex but based on their actions, they did not have to.

Feeling frustrated and anxious, Shelly reached out to Portmore producer, JJ Wizzle (who has recorded everyone from Determine to I-Wayne). Wizzle said he wanted to work with the artist from the first time he heard recordings she did while living in Quebec.

The two have started to work on Lady Shellys first dancehall album which will be entitled, breakdown-breakthrough. There is no official release date in place for the album; however, they are both committed to having it out before the end of the year. The first single from the album suggests that Shelly is taking a shot at all the producers that refused to work with her. The track is called talk up now and it basically highlights her writing and vocal skills, leaving one to question why these producers refused to release her music in the first place.
