Five Steez is a 'Dreamer': From Jamaica Star

Originally posted in the Jamaica Star 


Independent hip-hop artiste Five Steez is representing for anyone with a dream on his latest song, titled 'Dreamer'.

The third single from his upcoming album, Love N Art, with producer Mordecai, also features the vocal styling of long-time collaborator Shaq the MC.

Five Steez takes his audience on a quick journey, reflecting on his youth and how he began pursuing music.

Ironically, Shaq the MC, despite the name, sings the chorus with Steez.



THEIR HISTORY

"Shaq is someone I've collaborated and performed with going back eight years or more," said Five Steez. "He was featured on my first album, War for Peace. And even before that as an organiser in Kingston's live music scene, he was one of the first persons that gave me a platform."

Shaq the MC is the only featured act on Love N Art, appearing twice.

"Shaq is a dope rapper, but he's also a singer who understands this sound," said Steez. "He now lives in London, so, one of the times he was here in Jamaica, I got him in the studio and he laid some vocals for two of the songs, including Dreamer, with which he really helped me do something different."

Dreamer comes on the heels of two previous singles, True Original and Work, released in September and October, respectively.
