00:00Hey yo, it's Alive and Livin' Scorcha, Hola USA!
00:03Yeah man, you don't know, this is the behind the scenes and you don't know, it's a big tune called
00:07Dem Time.
00:08See, we got Manuel, Thereseo and the whole crew, yeah man, hola.
00:14You know, over the years I've been blessed with doing a lot of great collabs and especially my Latin audience,
00:21I've been reaching out to them.
00:22I just went to the studios and I was like, yo, let me see what can happen and Manuel came
00:27to the studio with an idea for me.
00:30And that was wicked, you know what I mean, he's brilliant at what he does, his voice is awesome.
00:36And so, yeah, the rhythm was banging and I was like, yo, let's do this.
00:39I was working on an album which I haven't finished yet and, you know, I just invited people to come
00:45through
00:45and he was one of the people that came, had faith and got a nice hit going on right now.
00:53So, big up to Manuel.
00:54He was kind of taking them time with me, especially me trying to pronounce the Spanish.
00:59Like, even now, I'm trying to remember which line comes next while I'm singing the song in the video.
01:06So, it's going to take some time for me to actually get it proper.
01:10And people always compliment, especially him and his brother too, that day, that my pronunciation is good.
01:16So, I appreciate that at least.
01:19Inspiration for the music video now is like, basically, you know, it's kind of them time days.
01:24Back in the day, it's showing you clips of my past, kind of, which is dope.
01:30You know, it kind of helps those images to stay fresh and also, it's pushing me into the future, especially
01:39with this song of Manuel.
01:40He's a cutting edge artist right now.
01:42The ladies always sending compliments to his voice and my voice.
01:46It just made total sense.
01:47And them bigging up me and the past and it just matches with the whole theme of the song.
01:54You know what I mean?
01:55Them time there, back in the day, this is how it was.
01:58And then, this is how it is now. We're going to the future.
02:00I've been doing work with so much different talented artists from Becky G to Enrique Iglesias and then to the
02:06Zona.
02:07And people like, you know, Manuel right now and Fade.
02:13You know, big up to everybody who's taking a chance to work with me.
02:17You know, it's not every day that a nice territory from your own culture, like, kind of gives you a
02:24chance and gives you a run.
02:26And so, I've been receiving a lot of love all the time.
02:29As you said, unlike the Latin homie coming true, you know what I mean?
02:33But big up from Jamaica to the whole Latin world. Enough love. Salute.
