Mineral Boss Records chief executive officer Tawanna Jones is banking on her latest release, Enemies, a combination between dancehall star Beenie Man and singer Tony Curtis, to become a mainstream crossover hit.

“The single Enemies serves as a reminder that positive energy, perseverance, and strong execution are essential ingredients for success and longevity,” Jones said.

The song was released via Johnny Wonder 21st Distribution. The track is released on Hot Topic rhythm and the hook interpolates Pinchers’ ‘Enemies on the Borderline’.

The song explores the theme of overcoming obstacles, dealing with betrayal, and maintaining focus despite challenges.

“Beenie Man called me and say ‘singer sing about enemies’. Basically, just random, and mi just sing. Mi no really have no enemies personally, but the deejay wanted me to sing about enemies so mi just sing about enemies. Is different times now and it just call for da enemies, so mi do it,” Tony Curtis said.

Since its release, dancehall fans have been trying to imbue deeper meaning behind Beenie Man’s line : ‘everything weh yu talk say mi hear yu/yu a just man, nuh think say mi fear yu/mi ah the king, the don, the emperor and the pharaoh/Godfather, dem gal Robert Dinero/dinero, money ah power, nothing nuh scare yu’.

Then Tony Curtis chimes in with ‘enemies pon dem ground fi mine…enemies it is murder time’.

Despite the song’s subtextual reference to the King of the Dancehall debate involving Beenie Man and Vybz Kartel, Jones denied any throwing of ‘shade’.

“MBR Music is not about rivalry songs, It’s just reality music, no subliminal to no one, just great authentic music,” Jones said.
