Featured Artiste: Delus

Posted by

Delus, a son of the rugged streets of Kingston, Jamaica, has always had a passion for music. His deep-seated passion is as a result of his influence by musical icons such as Buju Banton, Spragga Benz, and Beres Hammond. In pursuit of his dreams, Delus hung out at the Youth Man Promotion/Black Roots Studio owned by the late, Lincoln “Sugar” Minott. Delus’s first recording was with his brother, Konshens. The duo recorded under the name Sojah which means “Sons of Jah.” Their first single entitled “Medz Pon Di Corner” on the Cash Flow label, went number one in Japan in 2004, which afforded them the opportunity to tour in Japan. The tour prompted the release of the duos debut album titled “Sons of Jah.”

Following the success of the album, Delus and his brother decided to pursue their solo careers. In 2007, Delus released singles such as “Nymphomaniac” and “Power” on the Cash Flow Label and “Move” on the Rapid Fire Label. During that time Delus displayed his versatility when he directed and edited music videos for artists such as Bescenta, Warrior King, Tiana and a medley that included artists such as D’Angel, Mr. Peppa, Delly Ranx, Sojah and Spragga Benz. Additionally, he worked on projects such as “Some Gal” on the Outada Riddim by Seanizzle, “Gal or War” for Mr. G’s Young Blood, remixes by D&H (Daddy & Hypa) out of France, with Tracks like “Whatever You Like (Anything U Want)” Remix with Rapper T.I. featuring Delus & Nicole, “Gangsta Remix” with Mavado featuring Delus & Vybz Kartel and “Arab Money” dubbed “Gangsta Money” with Busta Rhymes featuring Delus.

In 2009, the singjay busied himself promoting singles “Gang War,” from the Exile Production Label, along with his latest videos for chart topping singles “True Love,” from Media House Production, “She’s Happy” featuring Konshens, “Heathen Dem Nuh Like Me” from Miguel Music and “Loose Control” on the Substance Riddim from Young Veterans Productions. Later that same year, Sojah released their Sophomore Album titled “Modern Revolutions,” at which time the duo went on tour in Europe to promote the album. The album featured artists such as Luciano and Iriepathie. Dancehallusa.com writes, “When you talk about a complete album, “Modern Revolution” is a fine example. Each and every song tells its own story but still manages to keep a connection between all the other tracks on the LP.”

With two albums under his belt, Delus revamped his career and sought the help of Triple 7 Entertainment LLC. With new management in tow and a more cohesive plan, 2010 proved to be Delus’ year. Through a distribution deal with Zojak World Wide, Delus released an EP entitled “My Reality” which is available on iTunes and other digital outlets. He completed a three week promotional tour, which was pushed to six weeks due to demand, in the United States. The tour, which was sponsored by Nuvo, Carol’s Daughter, JAMROCK Magazine, Whereitzat Magazine, Upscale Crowd, Negril Village Restaurant and Link Up Radio, was a concerted effort to broaden Delus’ fan base and increase airplay of his music. During that time Delus released his single “Another Gal” which was well received by radio and fans in Jamaica and abroad. Additionally, Delus released the medley video for “Another Gal” which features his brother, Konshens and fellow recording artists, Darrio and Chris Martin. The popularity of the single afforded Delus the opportunity to travel to Japan on a two week tour.

The multi-talent singer who has written songs for College Boys entitled “God Alone,” “Sanity” for LMR (Love, Money, Respect) Productions, “Mek Dem Sorry” for Subkonshus Music, “Unruly” for Live Up Records, is just getting started. Although Sojah is still an important part of Delus’ musical resume, his solo career is at the forefront of his journey. For more artist information, please visit www.myspace.com/delussojah.
