Shenseea dropping new music on Friday following her announcement she is heading back to dancehall.
The Jamaican singer is keeping true to her promise as she dropped a teaser for her first dancehall track in over two years since she started her hip-hop career. Fans and critics alike have questioned the state of her career as her hip-hop music was not well received.
It seems that Shenseea has been listening to fans and has teased her first release for 2024, a dancehall track. On her TikTok account, she gave fans a preview of “Hit & Run”, produced by one award-winning producer, Stephen ‘Di Genius’ McGregor.
“You think you coulda get inna me feelings, you couldn’t get me fi sekkle down, mi give you a hit and run x 2/ mi did only want likkle dealings, never did a look you, you must be dumb, mi give you a hit and run/ aye my yute, you take it too serious.
