Hype Type says it’s time to clean up Jamaica
Florida-based dancehall artiste Hype Type, also known as Zion Boss, recently released a thought-provoking new single titled Clean Up.
“This song is a call for change in Jamaica. After 63 years of Independence, we’re still a struggling nation. Many aspects of everyday life in Jamaica have improved since Independence, but we still need to change a lot of things. As a Jamaican living abroad, I’m very concerned about my country. I’m tired of hearing about all this crime and violence. It’s high time the leaders fix things and clean up Jamaica,” said Hype Type.
The track, which was produced by him and released on his Zion City Records imprint on October 9, will be featured on his upcoming EP.
“This is one of the featured tracks on my upcoming EP; some of the other songs are Unlock It, Donald Trump, Red and Green, Who Badder were produced by Highway Records; and Fall In Love was produced by Neeko Fire,” he said.
The six-track EP, which is in the final stages of production, is scheduled to be released before the end of the year.
“We’re currently putting the finishing touches on this project. As soon as all the songs are mixed and mastered it will be released. We haven’t set a date yet, but it’s definitely going to be out before the end of the year.”
The Kingston-born deejay is currently making preparations to visit Jamaica to shoot music videos for three songs off the EP — Clean Up, Unlock, and Donald Trump.
Some of Hype Type’s other songs are My God Loves Me, One Life, Small Place, and Caution.
