Dancehall artiste Talio Ashh is currently enjoying a buzz with his new single Black Beard featuring Kant10t.

The song features both deejays trading lyrical shots as they argue about who is the bigger ‘gallis’.

“Recording this song was spontaneous it’s not like we planned it. Kant10t and I were both at the studio to record for the producer. While we were vibing the rhythm we came up with the idea to record Black Beard and created the song on the spot,” Talio Ashh said.

He continued, “It is very humorous because we created two characters, I’m Elder and Kant10t is Juvenile and we’re both arguing about who the girls want more. He’s telling me that the girls don’t want any old man who is dying his beard and I’m telling him that the girls love the elder because he has more experience and stamina.”

Kant10t said, “We created these two very humorous characters that’s why the song works. It’s a reminder of the kind of songs Professor Nuts or General Degree would do back in the day but with a real rude boy vibe to it.”

The song, which was produced by 3riple J Music, was released in June. Since then, it has been enjoying heavy rotation both locally and abroad.

“The response in the streets to Black Beard is tremendous. It’s also getting a lot of airplay. While we’re happy and grateful for this response we’re not surprised. From the moment we recorded this song we knew it was going to be a hit,” said Kont10t.

Both artistes are currently working on individual projects for 3riple J Music and other producers. They also plan to record a sequel to Black Beard.
