Producers get dancehall headliners on one track

Kingston-based producers Digi Doran and Gutty Bling have recruited dancehall artistes Valiant, Skillibeng and Kraff on a new track titled Real Estate.

The single is aimed at spreading encouragement, according to Digi Doran, who is principal of Digital Productionz.

"The song is about real estate investing and building wealth," he said. Officially released on June 23, the official music video has already earned more than one million views on YouTube.

This was the first time that Digi Doran, given name Jake Doran, and Gutty Bling, given name Hugh Ho-Young, teamed up. Digi Doran shared how he and Gutty Bling were able to get three of the genre's most popular artistes on one track.

"I reached out to Valiant and Kraff through past connections. Gutty Bling and Skilli have a long history with songs like Brick Pon Brick, 50 Bag, and Bin Laden," he said.

Some of Digi Doran's previous releases include Jahvillani's Made In Jamaica, Teejay's Make It Out and Silk Boss' Trust.

Gutty Bling, who has been operating Claims Records for more than a decade, said Real Estate has been a hit.

"The feedback has been great. It's trending on TikTok with construction and house building. The song is playing all over from Boom Sundays to the States and Japan," he said.

With both producers agreeing that their creative processes start with organically creating beats and finding complementary artistes for each one, they revealed that there are more projects in the works with Laa Lee as well as Afrobeat tracks.
