Kidd’s got ‘potential’

DEEJAY Potential Kid will embark on a five-week tour of Europe starting May 30.

Potential kid, who scored big with the song A Ya So Nice, is also putting final touches to his debut album titled Ghetto Paradise.

According to his manager Angeletta McKenzie, the album is slated to be released in July and may feature a collaboration with a major hip-hop artiste.

“We have been making contact with members from Rick Ross’s management team about a possible collaboration so that is work in the pipeline,” she told the Jamaica Observer.

McKenzie said Potiental Kid (whose real name is Dwayne Taylor) has also remixed A Ya So Nice with gospel artiste Ziggy Soul.

“It was him (Potiential Kid) who came up with the idea of taking a gospel twist with his single,” she said. “I was very happy he chose this path since he need not do anymore lewd lyrics.”

The 24-year-old deejay recently made headlines after he was reportedly dropped from the LIME Boys and Girls Championships campaign dubbed Ah Yah So Nice.

In a statement, the company said after analysing an unedited version of Potential Kid’s hit song, it found the lyrics unacceptable.

However, McKenzie denies the artiste was pulled from the campaign.

“He had a one-month campaign with LIME but when we met with LIME the contract was up,” McKenzie explained. “The human rights persons started expressing their concerns about the lyrical content of the song for such an event,” she continued. “They really didn’t have a problem with the artiste or the song, it was the fact that it was a song fitting for a more mature audience than Boys and Girls Champs.”

McKenzie added that the telecommunications company and Potiental Kid retain a solid business relationship.

“The company will once again sign him in July as a part of the Reggae Sumfest campaign,” she disclosed.

Potiential Kid emerged on the scene in 2011 A Ya So Nice which was produced by the Natural Enterprise label. Born in Trench Town, he recently signed a one-year contract with independent company, VP Records.
