JDK Records artiste Gevano is looking forward to performing on this year’s edition of ‘Full Black’. An explosive force once he hits the stage, he has been steadily building his reputation one stage show at a time as an artiste to watch out in 2013. Gevano is enjoying an excellent buzz with a pair of singles, the hard-hitting ‘Mi Caa Believe’, and the brilliantly penned ‘Fren Pon Face’, the latter of which has been blowing up FM radio.
On ‘Mi Caan Believe’, Gevano shows that he can deejay and sing equally well. He delivers a catchy singalong hook on the one-drop riddim, and then deejays competently on the verse, using witty metaphors and a colourful storytelling style of the grimy underbelly of the ghetto. Check this verse: Ah yute him a nine with a Tech 9/Him ah go hard, nah tek time/Life him a tek so him wi tek yours and tek mine/Wonder if dem inna competition fi mek crime/Cause everyday yu hear another juvie mek the headline.
“I feel great that people are responding well to my music because it reflects what is going on in our society,” he said.
The ‘Mi Caan Believe’ single, which was produced by Bobby Crisas for JDK Records, has been getting heavy rotation on IRIE, HITZ, and RJR since it was released a few months ago. The video is also a staple on local cable TV.
In the meantime, Gevano plans to shoot a video for ‘Fren Pon Face’ in the near future. The song which calls out fake friends has become a steady favourite on IRIE and HITZ in the last month or so.
