Nearly a week after its official release, the collaboration between dancehall stars Popcaan and Chronic Law, “Kick It Wid Myself,” has quickly captured hearts, soaring to the #1 spot on YouTube's trending chart in Jamaica with over 800,000 views to date.
Accompanied by a striking music video, the single “Kick It Wid Myself”—produced by Drop Top Records in collaboration with Unruly Entertainment and 1Law Entertainment—delivers a raw and honest portrayal of disloyalty and betrayal in friendships and relationships. Aiming to be the new anthem for 2025, the track follows the artists' first collaboration, “St. Thomas Native,” released exactly a year ago on Popcaan's ‘Great Is He’ album.
“This track is deeply personal. It reflects real experiences that many of us face daily. I’m humbled by the love it’s receiving and eager to see how far this project will go", ed dancehall producer Drop Top, whose given name is Rowan Melhado.
The song’s success has come amidst controversy following an altercation between dancehall giants Popcaan, Chronic Law, and renowned producer Skatta Burrell at the recent Freedom Street Concert. “These moments remind us how intense this industry can be, but it also shows the dedication and love we all have for the music. ‘Kick It Wid Myself’ is proof that even through challenges, creativity thrives“, added Drop Top.
The project was steered under the guidance of Latoya McKay of Turnkey Event Logistics, who shared, “Seeing ‘Kick It Wid Myself’ from the ‘New Beginnings Riddim’ project gain traction has been an overwhelmingly fulfilling experience. This song is more than just music; it represents a mindset—a declaration of self-confidence and independence that resonates deeply with listeners“. Chronic Law and Popcaan brought their unique artistry to the track, creating a powerful anthem that’s both relatable and inspiring.”
“As the project manager, it’s incredibly rewarding to watch something that began as a vision in brainstorming sessions transform into a piece of art embraced by fans across the globe“, McKay resonated. “The song’s traction speaks volumes about the collaboration, creativity, and effort poured into this project. From conceptualizing the riddim, working with such high-caliber artists, and overseeing production details to promoting the project it’s been a journey of passion and purpose“.
Sharing her excitement over the song's success, McKay added, “It’s an incredible feeling to see a song of this caliber gain traction. Being part of the ‘New Beginnings Riddim’ project and witnessing ‘Kick It Wid Myself’ resonate with audiences is both humbling and exhilarating.”
The entrepreneur expressed, “Chronic Law and Popcaan have delivered a powerful anthem that speaks to resilience, individuality, and fresh starts, making it the perfect way to launch into the new year. It’s a proud moment, not just for Drop Top Records but for everyone involved in bringing this masterpiece to life.”
Reflecting on her vision for the future, she elaborated, “This moment is a testament to the power of teamwork and determination. It motivates me to keep pushing boundaries, ensuring that projects like these continue to not only entertain but also empower.”
