Speaking on Onstage, the 6ix squad member indicated that he has launched 1Law Entertainment/1Law Records in his native St Thomas.  He went on to describe the set up as an “official studio” that looks “boasty”.

The Hillside singer notes that he has already started the recruitment of artistes for this venture. “Right now still Shaqstar of Seaforth, listen da name deh, 1Law artiste, yea man”.

He also indicated that Fire Dupes is also onboard with a “whole heap’ more up and coming talent.

“All new but dem have a buzz, people know dem man, dem a buzz, dem soon get the big break” he declared about his new charges.

Chronic Law further explained that his support in this venture comes from persons close to him like family even if they are not biological. “A di family man, na go outside di family, mi say 1Law 6ix same way, a blood man, blood mi call dem, mi no believe inna nutten else, blood dem name” he explained.

He notes that the affairs of the entity will be managed by his own manager, Bashy.

Some of that work is a recent collaboration featuring Squash and the Gaza Boss himself, Vybz Kartel. The track Money We Love has been trending steadily since it’s release days ago and it’s expected to become a chart-topper.

Another track Self Protection has been generating a buzz and the artiste notes it is getting “big love” since it’s release but was quick to point out that he is not encouraging anyone to do anything illegal. “First things first me na tell nobody to get no illegal firearm fi demself, self protection now a whole heap a fight out deh inna real life inno”.

He notes that clothing comes because of the interest from fans who have reaching out in that regard.
