QQ brings something for the girls

Recording artiste QQ says his newest track Boom Flick is aimed at reviving traditional dancehall culture.

“Well, when I got the rhythm I thought, ‘This is gonna be something fi di girl dem bubble to.’ The whole intention was to get girls bubbling; just trying to bring back certain bubbling vibes in dancehall and, recently, I’ve been hearing people complain the lack of girl songs and lack of things to party and dance to. So, I thought this could be something that give that vibe and change the narrative,” he told the Jamaica Observer’s Splash.

The track, produced by Ibez Don, was released on June 16, while its accompanying music video was released on June 30.

Meanwhile, QQ (given name Kareem Dawkins) has welcomed the reception from his fans.

“A lot of people like the song. They like the fact that I’m bringing back what they call authentic dancehall, and man and woman vibes…you know, something fi di man and woman dem party to. I haven’t really gotten any negative comments or pushbacks,” he said.

The former Calabar High School student started in the music business as a pre-teen.

Last year he was names a Prime Minister Youth Awardee for his contribution to music.

QQ is known for songs, including Poverty, Never Know The Use, Tip Pon Yuh Toe, One Drop, and The Struggle Is Real.

As he continues to record new music and brace for his 20 years in music milestone next year, QQ anticipates that Boom Flick will take off.

“The ultimate hope is for it to buss big just like any other song I’ve done so that I can be able to go on tour again and perform it all over the world. Also, for the space where men and women can dance and have fun together is saved and everybody can equally enjoy the space in which they want to be and not try to get rid of that fun space,” he said.
