DANCEHALL deejay, Alley Cat, aka Imperial, is currently making the rounds as he promotes his latest album, Dancehall Knowledge Volume II.

Quite excited about his latest project, Alley Cat, who changed his moniker to Imperial some years ago, says he has been studying various aspects of the music business in an effort to become more rounded. The deejay adds that he has seen and has done many things and is now at a point in his career where he feels comfortable managing his own affairs.

“I took a leave of absence from the road for a while and have gone to school to study studio engineering and also learned to play the guitar. I gained a lot of hands-on experience just by being an artiste and working with some of the best producers, engineers and promoters in the music business,” explained the deejay who was christened Albert Richards.

He noted that Dancehall Knowledge Volume I signalled his intention to be a triple threat — artiste, songwriter and producer — and with this latest offering, he feels he has definitely come into his own.

“I am not blowing my own trumpet, but the album is an interesting mix of clean, positive songs. I have stayed true to form and have delivered a product that I am confident the buying public will like,” Alley Cat says.

Dancehall Knowledge Volume II features collaboration with the Monster Hemphigher as well as Ikaya, whose vocals can be heard on Virtuous Woman, which is one of the singles being promoted and getting a lot of attention from music lovers.

In addition to the album, he has released singles including Party Spree, Finally, Bruk Out featuring Stone and Miss Independent.

Alley Cat, aka Imperial, says his guiding principles in the business are excellence and commitment.

Dancehall Knowledge Volume II is distributed in the US by Island Entertainment. It is available on all major digital outlets including Amazon, iTunes and Rhapsody.
