In an exclusive interview with this news site, NJAR said, “It took me a year and a half to complete this mixed tape but I must stress that the support I have been getting from my local people was overwhelming.”

The mixtape is already a hit on the airways locally, around the Caribbean, and North America. The songs are For Her produced by Brent Hoyte, Drip of Success featuring Jeremy Vanterpool, All Eyes on Me, 24/7 featuring Mario Abrams, Understand, Made like this featuring King Jedi and Diction, Lonely Together, They Believe, Rob a Soul, Count Down produced by Mario Abrams, Show and OH Mehn.

20% of the project, according NJAR, was recorded in Atlanta, United States of America (USA) with the other 80% being done locally. Recordings were done at Twelve Studio in Atlanta and Home Grown Studio here in the VI. The production was mixed and mastered by Leo Sibilly.

Darrell Fahie and NJAR are the executive producers.

NJAR said that as he continues to build on his platform certainly fans can someday see him releasing his first album. In the meantime, he is focusing on completing the visuals for his latest single ‘All Eyes On Me’.

FSN to ‘taste’ Drip of Success

While NJAR feels the love and support from his fellow Virgin Islanders, he said that he is finding other ways to give back to the community and, in this instance, for every tape sold he is dedicating $1.00 to go towards the Family Support Network (FSN).

Copies of the new mixed tape can be obtained from Sasha D. A. Flax on Virgin Gorda, Body Glam on Tortola Pier Park, J and C Department and Variety Electronics Stores in Road Town.

NJAR was high in praise to persons like Laura Thomas, Rena Lamothe, Chris ‘Tshoha’ Bertrand, Raul ‘Jugo’ Sprauve, his dad Glen Lamothe, Kiebo Miguel Thomas, Blanco , Brent Hoyte, Mario Abrams, Cargil Wright and Darrell Fahie.

About NJAR

NJAR told this news site that as a child his father always listened to Zouk and Soca music, and those were the types of music he grew up on, but never really favoured them. He added that at the age of 17, he started listening to Hip Hop and instantly fell in love with the genre.

According to NJAR, his career in music officially started while hanging out with a friend and he decided to write his own piece, which resulted in positive feedback, where people told him that he sounded good and should continue.

Through that feedback, he was able to channel that positive energy into producing his first mixed tape entitled ‘Not just another rapper’, which was released in March 2012, and consisted of his hit song, ‘Good Girl’ and many others.

‘Not just another rapper’ is not only the name of his first mix tape but is abbreviated as his stage name, ‘NJAR’.
