Their The Way I Move collaboration with Shatta Wale and Shenseea also did numbers, gaining over two million streams online. That track was featured on the Growth EP, which boasted an array of other collaborations with acts such as Vershon, Govana, Deep Jahi, Nesta and Jahvillani. With other tracks such as Economy, Cyaa Stop Me and Fool Is The Last To Know, that project made waves across the Caribbean and was also a hit in African countries such as Ghana and Zimbabwe.

2019 is slated to be no different and continued collaborations between Shatta Wale and YGF Records can be expected.

“My expectations for this track is to take it beyond what I achieved in 2018,” said Tevin. Speaking of his 2019 goals, he said, “I’m always aiming to climb higher on the Billboard charts and also to get more streaming.” A music video for the track is in the works.
