Perfect time to release new music

Young producer Orlando Chance, more popularly known as Shotty Shane, says this coronavirus crisis is the perfect time for artistes and producers to lay down some good tracks.

The disc jock turned to production a little more than a year ago, doing tracks with Razor B, Voicemail, I-Octane, RDX, and more.

He believes that despite the entertainment lockdown, artistes and producers can get some real work done.

"Music plays a huge role in motivating people, especially during times like these, so artistes and producers should take the opportunity to feed the people with good music. People want to laugh and dance even though they are stuck inside for now," Shotty Shane said.

He has taken his own advice, and alongside his production partner Slym from Blackops Music, he is gearing up to release new projects this month.

New releases will include the dancehall-Afrobeat fusion project called the Angry Joe Rhythm, featuring a collaboration from Konshens and Hydal, and singles from Kemar Highcon and Echo Dan.

He will also be releasing the Well Fix Rhythm, which features Alaine, D Major, Gage, Razor B, and others.

These rhythms will be the fourth and fifth official projects for Shotty Shane.

"Right now, artistes have a lot less performances, appearances and events overall, so it's a good opportunity to lock away in the studio and produce your best work. Don't waste the time because God's willing, things will return to normal soon," Shane added.
