Bobby Konders excited about Pablo YG’s new single

International producer and reggae/dancehall enthusiast Bobby Konders is ecstatic about partnering with young dancehall superstar Pablo YG to release his new single, Tun Up The Club.

The single appears on Konder's popular 2011 'Riot Squad 24' rhythm, under the Massive B recording label.

"Pablo is solid, he seems like a good vibes young artiste ... and he's doing his thing and his music gives you a great energy and a good vibes. With his song, it definitively is a crossover into the international market because I can definitely take it to different set a deejays - American commercial and hip-hop DJs - to play it. But we have to still take care of the core and get it buzzing in the dancehall community," he told THE WEEKEND STAR.

"As a foreign sound system and recording label, it's very hard to get yuh tings buss in Jamaica. I've been doing this for over 30 years and I have a lot of records that's playing globally with [reggae/dancehall] foundation artistes that are not even playing in Jamaica. But we love what we do and we just keep it going." He said that his aim for the project was to capitalise mostly on the rising dancehall artistes and "tryna stay in the young man's game".

The rhythm will also feature Nadg, Spragga Benz and Xyclone. Nigy Boy is also in dialogue to join in. Konders said the project will feature five artistes but it might be open to additional talent upon its release. The project is set to be finalised by September, "with a release of a single every three to four weeks".

Riot Squad is known for songs such as Vybz Kartel's' Get Gyal Easy and Ghetto Road, Mr Vegas' High Grade and Chino's 24 Seven.

Since last year, there has been a trend with the remaking of past rhythms, a practice which Konders said originated from Jamaica.

"Jamaica sets the dancehall trend even though [sometimes] you might have a few things that buss on radio or social media before [but] traditionally, most things are gonna happen in Jamaica first and then things follow," he said. "I knew I wanted to bring back the riddim but I was waiting on the right time. Dat riddim is in between dancehall and trap but it's something that people can dance to globally," Konders shared.
