LOCAL performer and artiste Jomo “Rubber Waist” Primo, who has been making strides in the music industry, released a new video and song titled “Drop” yesterday.

This song would also be released in Jamaica and in several Caribbean countries, Primo said yesterday during an interview at the Guyana Chronicle.

He added that the song was recorded in Guyana, was produced by Fojo, and that the video was shot and produced by Genesis, a local rapper.

Primo, who recently returned to Guyana following a month-long tour to the United States and Canada, also performed at the recently concluded Guyana Festival which was held at the Guyana National Stadium at Providence, East Bank Demerara.

He said the soca song video was shot at Monaco nightclub, Umbrella Resort and Splashmins, and noted that it features hardcore dancehall style dancing, which is very different from the other genres in that it highlights the party mode of Guyanese in a subtle and viewer-friendly way.

Primo said he is expected to travel to Jamaica next month, and there is a lot going on in ‘Jomo’s camp’, since he is getting ready for 2015 Carnival/Mashramani, after releasing his groovy soca song earlier this year.

He is currently working on a ‘power number’ song labelled “Part of the crowd”, which is a soca piece with crazy vibes and energy that will prompt people to dance, since the idea of that song is for sheer enjoyment while dancing to it.

Primo told this publication that he is also releasing fresh music in December this year – a reggae piece and a medley video with himself and other local artistes in a new video, called “Screw Face”.

Jomo’s drive to succeed in the music scene has prompted him to push forward, and when asked what next to expect, he said that where he is concerned (with him), one has to expect the unexpected.

He said he is also moving to perform Rhythm and Blues songs, which are geared towards showcasing his versatility and at the same time not taking away from his unique style.

Primo said that with the music scene being somewhat stagnant in Guyana presently, he plans to continue working towards promoting his music both locally and overseas, because he wants to make things happen for him here also, since Guyana is his homeland.
