Global dancehall superstar Konshens returns with an electrifying new single titled BDAUP (Back Dat Azz Up), set to release May 16 via Submachine Entertainment/FTS Global Management/ADA Worldwide. The track is built on the legendary beat made famous by Juvenile’s classic hit, with hip hop mogul Birdman personally sending the instrumental to Konshens’ team -inviting him to infuse it with authentic dancehall energy.
The moment came while Konshens was recording at Hit Factory Studios in Miami and having a heated discussion about the versatility of raw dancehall music.
“Papa Keith and I were in the middle of an argument that raw dancehall can fit on any beat and work. We loaded up and I just let loose whatever came to my head. The whole station went crazy. What you’re hearing is literally exactly what we did that morning, 100% authentic DANCEHALL lyrics – the demand was so heavy we had to reach out to Birdman for the original.” -Konshens
