Versi plays the ‘mind game’

-

Dancehall artiste Versi is pleased with the feedback to one of his latest songs, ‘Mind Game’, on his own Cawvinz Entertainm­ent label.

Since the song’s release, speculatio­ns have been rife about who it’s aimed at. However, preferring to keep the vibe around the song positive as a form of encouragem­ent to those dealing with manipulati­ve ‘fake friends’, Versi said he would not give any credence to any such speculatio­n.

“The song is not directed towards any one person in particular, even though some people believe that. I am an artiste, and the truth is that it’s just a real song talking about real issues that we all face in life, every man has to figure out their own truth,” the

Mountain View-based deejay explained.

He released a video for Mind Game on his VEVO channel and it is also doing well.

Since his much-publicised falling out with Popcaan, Versi has been hard at work in the studio, and released a battery of new songs, giving a noticeable boost in both his career and online presence.

The artiste’s new singles, Higher, produced by Haynes Records, and Betta Run, produced by Hemton Music and Cawvinz Ent, continue to do well for him across the diaspora.

Betta Run has racked up more than 15,000 views in one month.

As the summer draws to an end, the artiste will be focusing on creating visuals to accompany the songs.

“Right now, mi ah step up the pace with my career. The fans are responding to the new songs, and we ah put out several more videos in the next coming weeks,” he

said.
