N’Hance gets big buzz with ‘Nuh Frighten’
Dancehall youngblood N’Hance is excited about the buzz around his latest hit single, Nuh Frighten, a hardcore song that has become a street anthem since its release.
“The song is becoming a street anthem because it is relatable. It’s almost natural to tell somebody that if you nah like mi mi nah like you either; if you nah want to deal with me, mi nah have to deal with you either, being the proud persons we Jamaicans are,” Nhance said.
The single is produced by Sweet Music and Rockit Muzik. Visuals for the project have racked up more than 1.6 million views in only four weeks since its release.
Many influential street selectors such as Boom-Boom, Dj Milo, DJ Bryan, Gary G, ZJ Liquid, Dalton Leith have endorses the song while mixtape maestros such as DJ Dotcom, DJ Kenny, DJ Johnny have rubberstamped the song’s rise on their weekly mixes.
Over the past year, Nhance has become a reliable hitmaker, cranking out hits such as Life featuring Chronic Law (2.9 million views), Monster (3.1 million views) and Mind Set (4.5 million). He wasn’t surprised at the meteoric rise of Nuh Frighten which gained traction on TikTok not long after its initial release.
“I wasn’t surprised to be honest, because the song is provocative and it’s relatable,” he told Observer Online.
“I felt the vibes from the studio, as well, based on the reactions of German, the engineer and others. In fact, the video clipping of the song being played in the studio, during voicing, went viral on TikTok and that was further proof that the song would do well.”
He has been promoting the song, performing it at several live events.
“I had a good sense that people would love it. I performed it at Club Mecca, Boasy Tuesday, and many other occasions and the reception is overwhelming, in fact, this is my first song that has matured so quickly with the people dem,” N’Hance said.
N’Hance is a second-generation star, the son of former Portmore Empire standout Gaza Sheba. N’Hance idolized artists such as Shabba Ranks, Beenie Man, Bob Marley and Chris Brown. He decided he wanted to be a deejay and began writing his own lyrics when he was 16, adopting the name, N’Hance.
He has become a steady hitmaker like his mother, Gaza Sheba. The former Vybz Kartel protégé is best known for her collaborations with the Worl’ Boss including You and Him Deh, Like Christmas, Gal a Weh Me Do You, and Gaza Man Mi Name.
