Xyclone, who is a protege of veteran Dancehall icon Spragga Benz, is no stranger to mainstream success as he previously made waves on the dancehall scene with his popular single “Back Pocket Rag,” which also earned a remix with Beenie Man.
According to the deejay, the feat is a major accomplishment for his career on a whole, as it certifies him as a legitimate contender in reggae music when it comes to marketing and sales.
The deejay made it clear that such an achievement is no easy task, as many of the biggest names in Dancehall right now fail to make any significant impact on the international market, however his success is in large part due to the fact that his fans actually buys music.
The album has actually been on the charts since last December, debuting at number 14 and even falling off at one point but recently re-entered the chart claiming the top spot thanks to the support of successful singles “How Yuh Bad So” and “Tell The Truth.”
