DJ extraordinaire Jigsy King’s latest single, ‘Wha Tek Bad Mind’, on Scatta Burrell’s latest riddim, Self Defense, a tek life. With its aptly worded lyrics on a more than appropriate beat, Jigsy has found himself a new chart rider, proving that his 15 years experience in the business has earned him much wisdom and expertise.
Famous for some wicked tunes over the years, the likes of ‘Haffi Get Yuh Body’, ‘Gal A Fuss, Gal A Fight’, ‘Dance Butterfly’ and ‘Cock Up Yuh Body’, among several others, Jigsy King has never ceased to maintain a strong presence of the scene, delivering his phenomenal stage craft and witty lyrics across the globe.
He was among the first of a new breed of Jamaican DJs, which also include Shabba Ranks most notably, who were able to crossover well among multiple markets without losing their Jamaican roots. His professionalism was key and handsomely balances his persona with his hardcore dancehall image. Now under the management of Danger Zone/SoBe Records, Jigsy King has grown into a professional producer, songwriter and performer.
Listen out for Jigsy’s other wicked track on the same Self Defense rhythm.

Caa when wi buk dem up wi pik dem out wid di eagle
Caa dem no wah di ghetto youth to drive the pretty vehicle
