This has remained a unique song to date as it changed the reggae and dancehall genres. DJ Jillionaire joined them later, and the team grew a bit bigger.

This gave them the confidence of releasing their second album “Free The Universe”. Their second album was not only accepted by the audience, but it also earned them a significant buzz. This was a commercial hit that ultimately gave birth to their single titled ‘Bubble Butt’.
The team is a great success, and every song they release gains them more fame and pushes them a step higher on their career path.
