L-R: Popeye Caution, Bravo Ravers, Ding Dong, Busta Rhymes & Felva


Renowned producer Felva, iconic rapper Busta Rhymes, dancehall star Ding Dong, and Popeye Caution are riding the waves of success with their latest release, 'WYFT (Wey-uh-find-this).' The track soared to number one on the iTunes Reggae Songs chart just hours after its release.


Released on July 5, 2024, under Busta Rhymes' The Conglomerate Ent label, 'WYFT' epitomizes summer vibes, celebrating fashion, style, and swag. With infectious dancehall and hip-hop crossover appeal, Felva's masterful production created an anthem that encapsulates the spirit of looking and feeling good.




The track started when Popeye Caution introduced Felva to Ding Dong about a year ago. During a FaceTime session, Felva played various beats until the iconic Indian vocal sample on 'WYFT' caught Ding Dong's attention. Felva refined the beat, and within 24 hours, Ding Dong returned with an unforgettable hook. “One thing I respect about Felva is that he is a workaholic. Him always working and improving his sound. Him a wicked producer. He will go far in music”, praised Ding Dong.


Initially a duet between Ding Dong and Popeye Caution following their 2019 hit 'Good Ting Dem,' the track evolved when Ding Dong invited Busta Rhymes to join. Busta’s dynamic verse added a new dimension, transforming the song into a standout dancehall and hip-hop crossover hit with Felva’s signature club-style beats. Felva expressed his excitement, saying, “This is all still surreal to me. I was already hyped about working with Ding Dong, that within itself was big for me. The fact that he got Busta on WYFT was something out of this world. My brother Popeye being on also really makes it home team win!”.


"Felva is that he is a workaholic. Him a wicked producer. He will go far in music".

Felva has been receiving great feedback both locally and internationally, prompting him to explore new markets. His work has achieved commercial success and deeply resonates with fans. The official video for ‘WYFT’ is now available, showcasing the song's infectious energy and style.
