New York, New York - When it comes
to Reggae and Dancehall music and culture, it can often be hard for artists
outside of Jamaica to find success. But this did not ring true for U.S. based
Badda General, aka Omari Lawrence, in any shape or form. The amazing talent has
defied the odds, setting dancehall ablaze with his fully loaded debut album
"Money App PROJECT" and scoring attention from worldwide audiences.
Released at the end of October to a flurry of excitement, "Money App PROJECT" notably
climbed it's way up the iTunes Reggae Chart, peaking at a hot spot of #4. Lots
of fan love, combined with an intense media campaign and massive DJ support,
thrust Badda General to prime position during release week. The
selector-turned-artist capitalized on his omnipresence, making it his duty to
consistently keep fans engaged on social media and sound systems laced with dub
plates.
"I am
overwhelmed by the support 'Money App PROJECT' has received
upon its release," says Badda General. "I truly desired to make music
people enjoy and I am humbled that my music connects."
Chock full of 10-tracks, the "Money App PROJECT" album
wows listeners from start to finish. Released on Badda General's Real Squad
Records imprint, the well curated track list features songs with both Wayne
Wonder and ZJ Liquid. The deejay's debut effort boasts songs that ooze fun and
catchy hooks. Ingeniously narrating stories from a male perspective, it would
be a disservice to not salute how hints of humor are seamlessly interweaved
into Badda General's heralded "Money App PROJECT" album,
along with impressive word play atop banging riddims!
Ahead of the highly anticipated "Money App PROJECT" album, Badda
General amassed attention with hit songs including the title track "Money
App," "I Wish" and "Outside," among others. The trio
of songs served as a fiery prelude to the "Money App PROJECT,"
leaving fans craving more.
But it was "I Wish" that catapulted Badda General to Dancehall celeb
status. The talented artist declares, "'I
Wish' is my most successful song to date!" That's no surprise,
as the ultra get back tune, relatable to many, took over tik tok and other
social media.
The red-hot "I Wish" also garnered airplay on top radio stations in
Jamaica and other core Caribbean markets to spins on Hot 97, BBC Radio 1Xtra,
99 Jamz and a wide array of other stations. Live videos of influencers and
leading radio personalities playing the catchy "I Wish" went viral,
further elevating the Badda General buzz. There is genuinely a lot more in
store on "Money App PROJECT," as every
song on the hard-hitting debut shines. Money is a popular theme on the album,
as heard in tracks "New Money," "Run It Forward,"
"House" and naturally, "Money App." But other spot-on
topics are also "deh bout." The legendary Wayne Wonder lends his
signature vocals to "Treez" -- a slow tempo ode to the high grade.
Meanwhile, ZJ Liquid joins Badda General for the upbeat and radio friendly
"Spring Water."
Whether
Badda General is detailing if a girl plays him, they must "Run It
Forward" (i.e., pay back all the money he has spent), wowing the
ladies on "Swing Song," or killing 'em with "Bay Style"
(and a wicked flute), the popular dancehall artist ensures consistent and
entertaining music through out the "Money App PROJECT."
The pandemic has forced many artists to tap into their innermost creative
beings. However, Badda General did a complete reinvention. Hailing from a world
of sound system (DJ) culture via Pieces, later Madd Squad and music production,
Badda General decided to pursue artistry head on and fans are so glad he did.
Badda General is undeniably one of the "Baddest" artists cruising
Jamaica's musical landscape and as far as fans can see has much success ahead.
