After
extensive touring and nonstop shows worldwide Dancehall superstar
Konshens has now returned to Jamaica and is focused on rekindling the
fire in the genre that brought him international success.
After
a 2015 that saw him take major losses and also major wins the dj says
he considers it all a part of growth and only has his eyes on progress.
"I
mean nobody nuh perfect, people a people and we all get one life, try
learn from the Ls' and try repeat the Ws' and tek likkle time fi
celebrate and enjoy life too... Never focus on the talkers because dat a
fi dem job jus do yours" says Konshens.
Though
practically missing from the local scene for most of 2015 and his last
major hit dates back to almost 3years ago, Konshens has remained in the
hearts of his many fans in the dancehall arena, many have been
expressing their concern and disappointment with his absence and lack of
material.
"Its
not really lack of material, mi still put out nuff work, but when you
cant be physically here to promote and share the experience with the
industry players its really difficult, right now mi hear seh di streets a
seh "weh him deh" hahaha.... Mi deh yah man. Dancehall is a energy
industry and people in deh sensitive, yuh cyaa have (1) one foot in an
(1) one foot out. Well mi love dancehall and the fans gimmi everything
so mi aggo jus show dem weh mi stand up. Still aggo tek on outaroad
because out deh a mine to but a yasso di real love deh".
A
high spirited and expressive Konshens also highlighted that locally he
is a 'Giant' and thinks he has not done enough to own it, from having
the most charity ventures, being one of the top 5 most awarded artistes
locally, having done deals with DIGICEL, FLOW, LIME, PEPSI, MACKESON etc. and sold out events wherever his name is mentioned.
"Wah
day yah a website seh me a di most photographed celebrity in the
Caribbean by fans... hahaha and people still seh me anti-social yuh see
seh yuh cyaa please people haha".
The
artiste said he is now all about releasing and PROMOTING new singles for
his dancehall fans and though "turn up" produced by Jeremy Harding and
Konshens' production partner Markhize has racked up over 300,000 views
in a month, its songs like "Hustle Hard" on seanizzles 90s Don Dada
riddim and "MTBW" produced by Yaadstyle music and an unreleased unnamed
track produced by Birch that he simply says is a gal bomb, that he will
be focusing on.

Konshens has formed another label and movement called NEW GOVAHMENT(NewGovz).
"The key right now is just fi settle down and space out the works and
