Since its release, the album has met with favorable reviews, with many fans praising the deejay’s growth on the project.
According to Govana, the project was very personal to him as he wanted to showcase another side.
“It’s not just about the girls’ songs, it’s not just about the jump up ting. This whole effort is about holding a medz and holding a vibe. When dem hear it dem can see seh Govana is not only about the girls dem and giving joke and all dat, this is a message album,” he said.
The album noticeably did not feature many collaborations, with the only contributors being Dre Island, Tarrus Riley and Protoje.
Govana has been on the entertainment scene for the past ten years, first donning the moniker Deablo. The deejay’s big break came in 2016 with the smash hit “Gyal Clown.”
