Sajay Productions carries on the legacy

Curtis Campbell, Gleaner Writer

Remember Yellowman's Zungguzungguguzunguzeng and Eek-A-Mouse's Smuggling, produced by the late Henry 'Jungo' Lawes of Volcano records?

Those are just some examples of the classic music his nephew Roymane Alexander hopes to produce through his label, Sajay Productions.

The label was formed in the late 2000s and is currently recreating the dynasty of Volcano Records.

According to their representative Latoya McKay, Sajay Productions is aiming to rewrite history.

"The production is mostly one-drop and dancehall, and we have even made over some of the classic old rhythms that were made by 'Jungo' back in the day," she said.

Sajay Productions was also the executive producer on The Journey, Turbulence's successful album. According to Latoya, there are more major projects to be released.

"We have a mixtape coming out with Chan Dizzy and DJ Acid and our latest single release with Chan Dizzy, called Our Place, is getting rotations," she said.

'Love Alone' is Best-seller

Sajay Productions also produced the 'Love Alone' rhythm featuring Turbulence, Lutan Fire, and Perfect, among others.

The rhythm is currently their best-seller on iTunes and continues to do well.

The outspoken McKay said she was confident that the label would live up to all expectations.

"Roymane idolised his uncle and he listened and learnt well, so the label will grow," she explained.

She also added that the label was doing well in Germany and the United States, and that its rhythms were getting major rotation on international radio stations.

"We have been getting tour invites for Europe and the US (United States), but we are waiting until everything is in order," she said.

According to her, the label is about productivity and creating timeless music, and picking up where Volcano records left off.

"The only major problem we have is to get our stuff on the streets. Payola is a problem but our production is very good," Latoya told The Gleaner.

Sajay Productions is set to release two exclusive rhythms, 'The Blueberry' and 'Quickie', in the coming weeks.
