It’s commonplace for an artiste to release an album after attaining some acclaim through a charting single, but upcoming singjay Quality is defying the norm by readying his debut album without the help of a pre-existing hit.

Speaking to BUZZ, the 24-year-old said the inspiration for the brewing project came following the recording of the song Whine For Me for US-based Stacks N Brixxx Entertainment in January.

“The song excite me a lot and the vibe and also the producer; the whole energy of the thing was dope,” he shared. “I’m around real people so once there is an opportunity I’ll make use of it so from there I decided I’m going to do an album for this record label cause I see where it can happen.”

Whine For Me forms part of the Black Fro rhythm which is slated for release this week. Acts including Bounty Killer, Busy Signal, Tanto Metro & Devonte and Anthony Red Rose are also on the rhythm. Quality said his song has already premiered on the radio.
