“Mood” includes a video that can be viewed on the song’s official website, which captures the quartet showing off their dance moves in a studio. Additionally, the Ryan Malcolm-Campbell-directed video gives viewers a unique glimpse behind the scenes of the overall production, providing an overview of how it was put together and the supporting team who came alongside it.
The group, which includes members Berkley, Jax, Jade, and Asha, KIING (which stands for intelligence, kindness, notorious, independence, and greatness) originated with LaurieAnn Gibson, an iconic multi-talented artist.

In just a few days (Feb. 3), Jamaican rapper Skillibeng and Florida rapper Nardo Wick teamed up with the aim of releasing a new single titled “16CHOPPA.” The track, in line with the duo’s pasts, is filled with hard-hitting bars discussing both their lifestyles and oft-violent pasts.
This newest release from Skillibeng follows up a December release called I’ll Never Die – The Prodigy Edition, which boasted 10 songs from assorted artists including Kyoka and Rich The Kid. In addition to his recent releases, the star of “Crocodile Teeth” has kept his fans well-fed with his well-received EP Mr. Universe, as well as a series of notable free drops and collaborations, including “blessing me” featuring Mura Masa, “Pree” featuring Popcaan, “Rain” featuring Shenseea, “Whap Whap (Remix)” featuring Fivio Foreign and French Montana, and “More Fire.”
Moreover, in 2022, Nardo also released the deluxe edition of his debut studio album in partnership with Caspian, titled Who Is Nardo Wick? , an album consisting of 31 tracks as well as features from a wide range of artists, including The Kid LAROI, BIG30, 21 Savage, Future, Lil Durk, Lil Baby, Latto, and more. Recently, he has collaborated with Babyface Ray, BIG30, and G Herbo in the song FaZe Kaysan “Plenty.”
A short while ago, Skillibeng talked to On The Radar Radio about his status as a musical frontrunner in an interview that I have included above:
“I’m not bragging, but… As of today, it has been over three years since I’ve been dubbed as Jamaica’s most talked about artist both locally and internationally,” he stated. “Since I’ve become the most talked-about artist for a couple of years now, and everybody is dying to know what I’m doing, they’re all asking, so what’s this kid all about?’? Who is Skilled?'”
In addition, he explained, “I think I am the leader of the new generation based on the stats and what the evidence shows. It seems like a lot of my flows have been stolen by others, don’t you think? Some of my techniques that I teach in interviews have been stolen by younger artists, they are stealing my moves, they are doing what I teach them, and that is stealing my talent as well. I am grateful to them.”

There can be no other medicine that can ease my anxieties, trauma, and unfiltered thoughts that come from this music. It is because of the music on this album that I was empowered to face my demons and have accompanied me throughout the darkest nights of my soul, crafted with unapologetic passion and without fear filled with love and tears.”

A new project is expected to be released by Enchanting next month, one that has been confirmed to feature a R&B focus. The Texas-born talent, who’s about to drop his fifth studio album later this spring, has treated fans with the latest preview of what is to come with a brand new single called “Love S**t.” The new single follows up a pair of previous releases. They are “Tell Me Why” and “Keep It Playa.” The newly released track tells the story of the artist’s rocky relationship while an instrumental guitar provides a rousing backdrop.
The latest piece of work from Enchanting was the 2014 release No Luv, a 14-track project that featured features from Gucci Mane, Key Glock, Kali, Coi Leray, and more. In addition to these singles, she has also maintained a loyal following of fans with singles like “What I Want” performed by Jacquees and “Way Back,” which appeared in season two of the popular television series “P-Valley.”
As recently as a few days ago, in an interview with The New York Times, Trap and Blues artist Enchanting Jessye Norman discussed the beginnings of her artistic journey. “ There was a friend of mine, and he had a friend who owned a recording studio, and people knew I had a talent for singing. After high school, I did not post any recordings of my singing. Singing is my natural habitat, and I enjoy it immensely. Throughout the years, I have been involved in a number of aspects of R&B music. My first rapping experience occurred when I signed with Gucci,” she recalled.
