Disses female artistes in new song

CURTIS CAMPBELL, STAR Writer

Dancehall artiste Black Queen calls out female artistes in her new single Some Gyal. The artiste believes its her time to shine and she promises to take no prisoners.

According to Black Queen, the music industry is plagued with hypocrisy and she decided to address the issue.

"The business is hypocritical, some female nuh good at all ... so the song is a description of that. I just listened to the rhythm and that's what came out. At the same time, it's to make people smile and give the fans what they want," she said.

The entertainer says some of the artistes might find the lines of the song provoking, however, she is not concerned about that. "I am not afraid. "From day one mi a duh controversial songs. Mi nuh fraid a nuh body, none a dem nuh badda dan mi," she said.

Some of the artistes that got a lyrical punch from Black Queen are Spice, D'Angel, Macka Diamond and Lisa Hyper.

She, however, disclosed that making trouble was not her intent. "Me and Macka Diamond a friend and her name is in the song. She hear it but she nuh vex, she nuh have nuh problem ... it's just fun, but otherwise anything a anything," she said.

The artiste promises to deliver the song at Sting. She also disclosed that she has lyrics to back her controversial content. "I am going to be at Sting and am definitely going to perform the song there. This is like a female version of my single Hot A Road in which I dealt with the man dem, it's already getting good rotation ... if mi a duh my performance and anybody feel like dem waah walk out they will be in for a surprise," she said.

Black Queen believes that she knows the recipe for success, in the event that her song should facilitate a lyrical backlash from other female artistes.

"Musical feud has to do with lyrical content and how quick and skilled you are as an artiste. Mi know mi can duh it," she said confidently.

While an equally controversial Spice wasn't spared from the taunting lyrics in Some Gyal, Black Queen disclosed that she has respect for Spice as a clash artiste.

"I look up to Spice as a war artiste, because she always answers her male counterparts convincingly. Mi respect Lady Saw and Queen Paula to ... Paula is a veteran and she can defend herself," she said.

Some Gyal was produced by Hierarchy Records and Black Queen is now working on her album called Black And Proud to be released in 2012.

The Waterhouse-born artiste also had some strong words for the competition. "Right now anything a anything, if some gyal or man haffi get kick dung lyrically a suh it a guh because a Black Queen time," she said.
