Dancehall artist Potential Kidd has largely been out of the spotlight for a number of years following the massive success of his chart-topping hit “A Ya Suh Nice”, which made him an overnight star back in 2011.
The Trench Town resident, whose real name is Dwayne Taylor, became an instant hit back in 2011 following the release of his raunchy yet hilarious single “A Ya Suh Nice”, which he admits was originally a freestyle which became viral.
The song brought the one-time Gaza affiliated artist the attention he had craved for years, bringing music and endorsement deals, and also various travel opportunities during the peak of the song’s popularity.
However, the deejay failed to follow up on the success of his smash hit and has since fallen somewhat into obscurity, which he claims were due to a combination of reasons.
Potential Kidd returns with new single ‘Ago Dead’
According to the deejay, after a few years of failing to find another big hit his career was brought to a complete standstill after being named as a person of interest by the police following an upsurge of violence in his community in 2016.
Although the entertainer was eventually cleared of all criminal implications he claims the incident had a lasting impact on his career and image, and also affected him emotionally due to fear.
The deejay who has now released as much as 10 singles since January says he currently working hard to escape ‘one hit wonder’ label, and believes his latest effort “Standing Fan” could be the song to get him further recognition as it has massive potential.
