New Internet sensation Teet, a deejay who hails from Trelawny, has been getting a big buzz on the Internet and in the streets with his song, Blue Lights Flashing.

The song, released on the Diamond Music Empire label, addresses police operations in volatile communities with the punchline 'mi nah run from the blue lights'. The defiant nature of the song has touched a chord with the underground dancehall crowd.

"The streets dem love it, badman love the song, corner man love the song, selectors love the song ... but as a ex-soldier, mi nah really diss the police inna the song. Is just a philosophy mi have as a soldier where we always a complain about the blue light ting because it gives away your position when yu go on operations and makes you a target for criminals, is a foolish ting," he said.

On Facebook, the artiste's performance of the song has gotten over $10,000 shares in two weeks.

"The ting ah blow up, especially overseas, people ah call from all over, Internet radio stations want interviews, the ting ah gwaan, it ah play a Bounty Sundays. This weekend, we ah give away $10,000 to the girls dem who can give we the best dance on the song that night, " he said.

another expulsion

Teet, whose real name is Nigel Ferguson, grew up in Trelawny, where he attended York Castle High, where he first met the deejay who would become Mr Perfect. However, Teet eventually got expelled, and then he attended Albert Town High school before another expulsion ended his secondary academic career.

He joined the Jamaica Defence Force in 1995, where he served for seven years before he left in 2002. In 2004, he became the 'road damager' for his high-school friend, Mr Perfect, and they toured the world together, performing on shows in Europe, Republic of Ireland, Gambia, Israel, Guyana and Suriname.

After those adventures, Teet bought a truck and won a contract to haul molasses in Trelawny. He started to hone his deejay skills at Black Nation studio and became a stage show sensation in Trelawny within a few years.

"Bounty Killer come a Trelawny and ask for me to be on the show, and after seeing me perform, Killer say him nah lef me, mi haffi come Kingston, mi too bad fi no buss. So mi jump in and come town, then Diamond dem see me performance them on Facebook and decide fi push the ting," he said.

He has recorded a number of other songs including Fast Car, Bikers Sinting and Molasses for Cratches.
