US-based Jamaican producer, Andre Villa, has his eyes set on receiving a Grammy nomination for his recently released afrobeat project titled Jamaica Meets Afrobeat which consists of various artists on the Emotions Riddim.
The rhythm compilation was released on August 23, 2024 under his Onscope Records label and features some of dancehall’s biggest superstars such as Erup, Mr. Easy, IQ, Tatik and more.
While it is not time for Jamaica Meets Afrobeat to be up for Grammy consideration just yet, Villa is hopeful as the reception from fans have been tremendous so far.
"This is my first time venturing with an afrobeat project. It is such a phenomenal work of art. Every single artist who is featured on this project is unique and very creative," said Villa.
The producer also believes that this 8-track album will open doors for other upcoming producers coming out of Jamaica as well.
He says, "This project means so much to me, because it's for my country Jamaica. I am honored to showcase the diversity of these reggae/dancehall artists into another genre."
Jamaica Meets Afrobeat has also created history by being the first of its kind with Villa being the first local producer to release an afrobreat rhythm album.
"I'm so grateful to be creating history as the first Jamaican producer to release an afrobeat juggling album with various artists," said Villa.
Jamaica Meets Afrobeat is currently available on all major media platforms.
