SINCE its release earlier this week, Stay Away, the new mixtape from dancehall artiste Tifa, has been receiving positive responses from fans and industry personnel.

Zip Jock Chrome produced the 53-minute set.

Tifa explained her decision to release the tape this week.

“There is no right timing really! I started it, it’s finished so I’m letting the world have it. There will definitely be tongues wagging! Not everyone will be happy about what I had to say! People will view me differently after this! Things will never be the same. But change is inevitable,” she said.

“At some point, when you hold everything in for too long you are bound to snap! I’ve been taking the ignore-it-and-move-on approach for personal and business reasons. But sometimes you just have to remind people who you are and what you are capable of and I’m not one to be played with neither on a personal level nor as an artiste! This mixtape will definitely show you and remind people of my versatility and why I continue to be relevant in this music business,” she continued.

Social media is abuzz about the mixtape.

“I listened to it yesterday and had to replay it! I enjoyed listening to the mixtape and I also enjoyed how clever you played on words as well as discreetly speaking on some of the things happening in your life,” said mspeterkin.
