Dancehall trailblazer Teejay unveils his latest track, “Dip,” featuring Jamaican luminary Tommy Lee Sparta, extracted from his eagerly awaited EP, *I Am Chippy*, slated for release on February 2nd via Warner Records.
Enlisting “Drift” producer Panda and dancehall heavyweight Tommy Lee Sparta for this dynamic composition, “Dip” serves as Teejay’s resounding proclamation to maintain his supremacy and secure a place in the hall of fame. His mission statement is bolstered by an infectious chorus encouraging fans to revel in success by engaging in the very activity for which his music is renowned—dancing.
Recognized for his captivating live performances, Teejay’s exclusive VEVO CTRL rendition of “Dip” lives up to expectations. His velvety vocals effortlessly glide over the rhythmic beat, showcasing his prowess. Teejay, a prominent figure in the scene, has propelled the vibrant movement to the forefront of his musical endeavors.
Addressing the track, Teejay remarks,
“It was inspired by the streets and the skankers [Jamaican dancers who choreograph street dances]. Essentially, those with ill intentions cannot hinder us, and we choose to counter negativity with dance rather than violence.”
Infused with sleek, high-caliber undertones that encapsulate the infectious soundwaves of Jamaica, Teejay is swiftly emerging as one of the most esteemed artists in the dancehall realm. A gifted storyteller with unapologetic flair, he has collaborated with international superstars such as Kodak Black, Giggs, and Stefflon Don. Meanwhile, he has earned acclaim in his homeland through partnerships with Vybz Kartel, Jahmiel, and Popcaan—solidifying his diverse artistry as a formidable force now resonating on an international stage.
Following swiftly with “Paper Soldier,” featuring rap sensation Kodak Black, Teejay’s stylish musicality gained traction across the US before finding resonance in the thriving London scene. Amid personal challenges, Teejay continued to release a wave of addictive singles, culminating in a collaboration with UK icon Giggs on “Dog Mout.” This pivotal record garnered praise from CLASH, GRM DAILY, and MIXTAPE MADNESS, firmly embedding his sonic imprint into the culture preceding his groundbreaking freestyle in FIRE IN THE BOOTH’s Jamaica Series.
Now under the Warner Music banner in anticipation of his *I Am Chippy* EP, Teejay’s meteoric ascent feels like an unfolding success story. With an upcoming feature from breakout artist Skillibeng, brace yourself for an abundance of compelling content from this uniquely gripping artist.
