Di money nuh dead, di money nuh run out, money still deh bout," declared dancehall artiste Money Gad, whose real name is Sheldon Andrews.
According to Andrews, a rumour had been circulating that he was dead and although much has not been heard from the deejay since his 2005 hit song, A Me Name Money Gad, Andrews says the artiste Money Gad is still alive and kicking.
"Mi si one article wey a sey Money Gad dead, shot by unknown assailants, an a bare phone call, cause people a check sey a me di artiste. All Kiprich a call mi a sey a wah dat, people from all overseas a ask if mi dead fi real, people all a shed tears dada. But it look like a one yout wey hear mi song an call himself Money Gad did get shot," he explained.
Andrews says, "Mi jus waan di people dem know sey mi deh yah same way an mi a work hard pon mi career same way, cause mi nuh buy mamma house pon di hill yet. But a whole heap a tings mi have a work pon yah now. Mi have some songs out yah now, Richest Man and Nah Guh Down."
Promotion needed
Money Gad says he has been recording songs, but not getting the sort of promotion needed to penetrate the market.
"A whole heap a ting mi drop, but a jus tru di politics inna di business. A wah day mi voice pon di 'Gang War' rhythm, one song name Chain And Shackles, and dem a talk bout sey mi fi gi dem $50,000 fi di song guh inna medley video," he argued.
Adding, "all dis time mi deh a Jamaica, all now mi nuh get nuh visa, although di song dem a drop an a sell a America, Japan, crazy place."
In 2005, Money Gad made his presence felt on the dancehall scene with his hit single, A Me Name Money Gad, which was written by himself and a friend. He also recorded another song called, Me Have Di Cash on Fire Links' Global rhythm, which he said also did well.
But for now, until he finds that next big hit song and can get the right kind of promotion, he says, "mi jus want di people dem know sey Money Gad deh yah same way an a work hard. Mi have whole heap a song wey can mek album an mi deh pon whole heap a big rhythm, but a jus tru di song dem nah get nuh promotion, dem jus sell di song fi mek a money ... dem nah too push yuh ting certain way," he explained.
