Wasp back with 'Hot Like Fire'

Following a brief hiatus , dancehall lyricist Wasp has returned with a revamped teamed and a brand new single titled Hot Like Fire.

Produced by Justus and Roach of JA Productions (2011 Producer of The Year and Rhythm of the Year winners), the single is featured on the heavily rotated OvertimeRhythm. Other acts on the compilation include: Mavado, Beenie Man, Spragga Benz, Christopher Martin, Elephant Man, Khago and Spice.

Weeks earlier, Wasp delivered commendable performances at the Montego Bay Jerk Festival, several concerts across St Elizabeth and the just-concluded London Olympics Road Show which culminated at the Kingston Waterfront.

The deejay is now preparing to release his Above Average mixtape chronicled by DJ Dotcom and due for official premiere at the end of August.

The disc will contain approximately 15-25 tracks showcasing the artiste's versatility intertwined with a series of skits and interludes and most importantly will be available free of cost.

In a release to THE STAR, Wasp explained that a video for his latest single is in the works.

"A video for Hot Like Fire is also in the plans and will be released in the coming weeks," the release read.

As part of his renewed plan to claim the apex of dancehall, Wasp has expanded his reach, working on new material with a cadre of established and new producers including Christopher Birch's Birchill Records, ZJ Chrome, Justus & Roach, P Street and Blue Sky Productions among others.
