Internationally renowned Jamaican artist, Konshens, has released “Shek It”, a dancehall hit produced by Costa Rica’s super producer BomboCat. The new single is a mix of Afro Latin music paired with Konshens’s catchy melodies and demeanor.
The movie-style directed music video by Rizzy brings suspense but at the same time a good dance and twist to the plot.
On his hardcore dancehall delivery, Konshens says: “This marks the return of Dancehall to its glory days when it was all about fun and the dance floor. Thank you all for showing so much love to me, my genre Dancehall, and Jamaican culture as a whole. The love is mutual, and I hope you enjoy this one! Deep gratitude!”
For a good number of record years, Konshens’ relationship with Africa has stayed fond and sentimental, further expanding his global influence and reach. “I got the beat while I was in Kenya a year ago. I set up my mobile studio and recorded it right in the middle of a hotel room during an after-party. With all the buzz around me, I absorbed all that energy and channeled it into the track,” he says.
“Shek It” is the lead track off Konshens’s next studio project that is slated later this year. He’s a specialist in so-called ‘gyal tunes’ hits capable of sending dancers into a frenzy the moment they play in a party.
Konshens has been steadily growing a diverse and dedicated fanbase for almost two decades. His international smash hits “Bruk Off Yuh Back”, “Turn Me On” and “Gal a Bubble”, among others, are absolute essentials of the genre that have helped drive his goal of elevating Dancehall and Jamaican music to a truly global level and acceptance worldwide. With over 200 songs, Konshens has amassed over 1 billion streams globally, with a daily peak of 3 million streams on Spotify.
Several of his tracks have surpassed 100 million streams each, reflecting his widespread appeal across a diverse global fanbase. As you anticipate his new album, be sure to keep an eye out for his tours across the US, Europe and Africa.
