A music producer has a crucial role to play when it comes to the overall feel of a song or a music album. There are various types of music projects being launched, but not all see the light of the day. To have a long-lasting impression in the minds of the audience, an artist needs to bring out his/her innovative ideas like Sheldon Thaxter, popularly known as KillaImij, has brought about.
Coming from Jamaica, KillaImij feels that dancehall, a popular genre of Jamaican music, has lost its charm and has undergone a great cultural shift. A song has to invoke a feeling of enjoyment, dance, fun, and positive vibes, rather than something that would spoil the vibe and degrade dancehall party scenes, as noted by a popular video on social media.
Thaxter, as the founder of Killalmij Records, has made an attempt to revive the feel-good dancehall music with his latest release called ‘Clock Tick Riddim.’ “The party scene right now is not tailored to the people. There are too many gun songs, scamming songs, and hype songs. I can barely hear any songs for the females at the parties, where did the dancing songs go? Where did the feel-good songs go? Then you have the issue with selectors playing for a paycheck. Honestly, it’s rotten to the core”, laments Killaimij.
