The singer and songwriter of modern
reggae and Caribbean pop known as Quick Dawg has released his latest
single, “New Gyal.” The track has been proudly published on the
Money Super Long independent record label without the direction of
the corporate music industry. Cool, mellow, stylish and full of
groove, “New Gyal” is a surprise indie radio favorite to round
out 2017.
Bahamas native Quick Dawg cites as main
artistic influences legends such as Lil Wayne, Tupac Shakur, Vybz
Kartel, and Bob Marley. As might be surmised, his own style blends
key elements of the roots music tradition with contemporary pop
qualities for a sound that is both steeped in Caribbean culture and
ripe for play on pop radio stations and nightclubs everywhere.
Quick Dawg (born Ramon Jason Thompson)
was born and raised in the Bahamas and moved to the United Sates at
age 17 with dreams of a better life for him and his family. His
16-track project, “Parental Advisory Advised,” appeared in 2011.
It featured singles such as “Smoking Herbs” and “A Sample”
which helped showcase his ability to, as his current bio puts it,
“provide projects full of vibes and new style.” In 2012 Quick
Dawg released his mixtape “Still Making Moves” featuring popular
songs like “Yeaa Ahhh / Money Super Long.”
Quick Dawg wrote and recorded his first
original music at age 12.
“I loved the feeling of creating
music,” he writes. “I loved listening to songs on the radio. I
realized I learned songs very fast and would be able to pick songs
that a lot of people also liked.”
This talent carried Quick Dawg through
a succession of popular releases including “No Heart” and “I
Love Her” (2013), “Love How” (2014), “Show Me” (2015),
“Roll Dat” (2016), and “In There” (2017). Many of these
received international acclaim and continue to garner praise years
after their publication.
Asked to describe the main themes of
his “New Gyal” single, Quick Dawg writes simply: “Love, self
expression, self respect, that one girl that seems like a new
everyday, consent, freedom, unity, versatility, enjoy life.”
Quick Dawg's much-anticipated album
release, “International Transactions” is expected to drop in
2018.
“New Gyal” by Quick Dawg is
available online worldwide from over 600 quality digital music
retailers now.
