Sample King defends 'Jamdung Style'

Hollywood actor and dancehall artiste Sample King is raising eyebrows with his new single, 'Jamdung Style', which is a take-off of the international dance craze and hit, 'Gangnam Style'.

"The reaction has been favourable, it is getting play at some dances, and I plan to shoot a video for it this month. I took out the original Gangnam Style, and I have a voice-over from a selector, and I kept PSY's original Gangnam Style because mi just love how him say it, him ting connect," Sample King said.

He has been aggressively distributing the single in the Corporate Area, and he hopes that local dancers will gravitate towards his song, even though there are at least four other Gangnam Style-influenced singles out there. "I like the others, very creative but mi believe say mine ah go shot," he said confidently.

His passion for reggae music began at an early age and is influenced by such artistes as Bounty Killer, Beenie Man, Spragga Benz, Tupac Shakur and Jay-Z.
