On Hey Gyal, deejay Najgee tests his vocals on a soca-influenced beat created by producer Kirk Bennett. Since launching his professional career nine years ago, he has welcomed opportunities to step outside of the dancehall zone.

Hey Gyal was released in June by Kirkledove Records. For Najgee, standing out from his peers is important.

“The difference between Najgee’s sound and other artistes is that when yuh listen to my songs, you get a different vibe from each one. It is very important to be unique because music itself is,” he said.
