Jay Addition is defiant on new single

Dancehall artiste Jay Addition is generating traction with his latest single, Cyah Stop Me Now.

"This song is about the fight; the fight one gets as an individual in the pursuit of one's dreams. The song speaks about the struggles, overcoming challenges and obstacles, and the final blessings which are to come," he said.

Jay Addition got his stage name because of his ability to command the streets with his rapid-fire bars, and his knack for creating radio-ready anthems. His peers always felt he had an extra gear to his music, hence the 'Addition' in his stage name.

"Mi bredrin dem say mi bring more to the game, my flows aren't normal. So dem say mi flow like the best in the game," he said.

Jay Addition attended Holy Trinity High School in Kingston and then completed his secondary education at Hutton's Education Unit.

The artiste, whose given name is Kerron Rannie, started recording professionally in 2016 with a song titled Money To Make. In 2017, he did his first music video for the single High.

He recorded a compilation EP with New York Entertainment five years ago that announced his arrival on the dancehall scene.
