Shenseea has created history becoming the first Jamaican Dancehall act signed with American label Interscope Records.

Interscope has linked up with producer Rvssian’s Rich Immigrants imprint for the deal which has already spawned the single “Blessed” featuring rapper Tyga, and accompanying video which was released earlier this week.

“Interscope always strives to work with artistes that can move culture on a global scale. Shenseea is already doing that,” Interscope’s EVP Joie Manda reportedly said, adding “She represents Jamaica in a loud and truly authentic voice. We couldn’t be any more pleased to partner with her and Rvssian. Many artistes go to Jamaica to learn culture, Shenseea teaches it.”

Interscope Records is owned by Universal Music Group through its Interscope Geffen A&M imprint. It was founded in late 1990 by Jimmy Iovine and Ted Field as a US$20-million joint venture with Warner Music Group’s Atlantic Records.

Artists who have signed to Interscope include Eminem, Ice Cube, The 1975, Madonna, Billie Eilish, Juice WRLD, Børns, Carly Rae Jepsen, Daya, Ellie Goulding, Gwen Stefani, Imagine Dragons, Jamie N Commons, Kali Uchis, J.
