Konshens puts a dancehall spin on Juvenile’s classic anthem

Global dancehall star Konshens returns with his new single “BDAUP” (Back Dat Azz Up), released Friday, May 16 via Submachine Entertainment, FTS Global Management, and ADA Worldwide.

The track features the iconic beat made famous by Juvenile’s classic, with hip-hop mogul Birdman personally sending the instrumental to Konshens’ team, inviting him to inject his signature dancehall flair into the timeless anthem.

“Papa Keith and I were in the middle of an argument that raw dancehall can fit on any beat and work. We loaded up and I just let loose whatever came to my head. The whole station went crazy. What you're hearing is literally exactly what we did that morning, 100% authentic DANCEHALL lyrics - the demand was so heavy we had to reach out to Birdman for the original,” Konshens shared.

With the right lyrical talent and flow, Konshens once again proves that dancehall can hold its own anywhere—even over one of hip-hop’s most iconic beats.

With an impressive catalog of hit anthems like “Gal a Bubble,” “Bruk Off Yuh Back,” and “Do Sumn,” Konshens continues to push boundaries while staying true to his dancehall roots.
