Lil Hanky Panky Teams Up With Kash XO For ‘Gettin There’
Dancehall fusion artist Lil Hanky Panky is excited about the release of a new single called ‘Gettin’ There’, featuring US-based rapper Kash XO.
“It was great working with Kash XO on the single, the shoot was in Calabasas (California) and the concept was basically rich life. flexing, flossing, big-balling in front of a 50 million mansion,” she told DancehallMag.
“The song itself is just a fun song, on my part, I am talking about levelling up, just talking about rich lifestyle flexing, people are going to love it.”
The single will be released on June 2nd via all digital download platforms. Well-known street figure Anthony ‘Rooster’ Patterson, who is childhood friends with Marlon Hutchinson, the manager of Lil Hanky Panky, and Jubbie, the manager of Kash XO, played an instrumental role in getting both camps together for the song.
“When the Getting There concept came up, I wanted people to know that patience is the way to achieve certain wants and needs, but you have to humble yourself along the way…this is a message for the youths, go back to school, pursue your dreams, get there,” he said.
Rooster is a well-known figure in the Jamaican criminal underworld because of his close links to Matthews Lane and Tivoli Gardens. He was even prominently featured in the Netflix documentary, Drug Lords, Christopher Coke , Jamaica’s Narco Prince. He is presently incarcerated in a federal institution in the USA on a 25 year charge for marijuana possession.
“If we can incorporate the street with the young artistes like Lil Hanky Panky to guide and counsel them with our ideas and combine with their ideas, we can have something phenomenal. On their own, by themselves, dem a climb a mountain, without no mountain gear, they will never see the top, but with the streets behind them, anything is possible,” Rooster philosophized.
The visuals for the ‘Gettin There’ project will be released on June 2nd, and feature a scene where a small crowd dons ‘Free Rooster’ shirts.
In the meantime, Lil Hanky Panky released an EP last year which featured songs such as Wasted, Brand Me A Rebel, the spunky Sativa, and Closer the Better featuring Sizzla. She is gearing up a barrage of new releases to whet the appetite of her growing legion of fans.
