Having released his debut EP in December dancehall artiste Jah Lama is confident that he will achieve his musical breakthrough this year.

“I am very proud of this EP; it is a wonderful compilation of my best work to date. The feedback to it has been very positive and encouraging. With this project under my belt, I plan to go harder than before with my career. There will be no easing up, this is my year. I am going to make sure that I achieve my breakthrough before the end of the year,” said the artiste.

The eight-song project, which is titled Fight The Fight, was launched by Pandemic Records in December.

I have to big up Bounty Killer, Turbulence, Little Hero, Prohgres, and all the other artistes who performed at the event. I also have to big up the Pandemic Records team for everything they’re doing for my career,” said Jah Lama.

The hard-working deejay also revealed that he plans to be very active on stage this year.
