Suku teams with Buju Banton on ‘Progress’

Popular dancehall producer Suku has high hopes that his latest project -- a track by Buju Banton titled ' Progress' -- will become an anthem among listeners worldwide.

"Well, the song is about elevating yourself and eluding oneself from poverty. It's not endorsing non-progressive people, wrongdoings, nor earning a living the illegal way. It's about straight positivity and an upliftment mindset," the producer said. The official audio was released on March 15 and has already gained more than 40,000 streams on streaming platform YouTube.

According to Suku, whose given name is Andre Gray, he has been acquainted with the 'Gargamel' for quite some time.

"The link was made while I was working at King Jammys studio before I became an artiste. Fast-forward after becoming an artiste and producer, I recorded a few songs with him for Natural Bridge Records and also on our Ward21 label," Suku explained, adding that their latest single took between two to three weeks to be completed.

Suku has been a staple in the industry for many years. He is notable for Konshens' Duh Sumn, Bounty Killer's Electricity, and Timberlee's Bubble Like Soup.

The producer is keeping busy with a myriad of projects featuring several other bigwigs.

"I have some more Buju songs to drop. I'm also doing some work for Sean Paul on his Dutty Rock Productions, suh mi jus' ah gwaan put in the work," he said.
