Bugle - Young Artists Overshadowed by Established Performers

Up-coming artist Bugle says that it can be difficult fighting against more well-established artists when it comes to getting some hype about your tunes. It seems as though recording the best tune on a riddim isn't enough unless you've got a bag a hype to push it.

"My biggest obstacle ah voice pon 1 million riddim and no one paying any attention to it because of the big names on the riddim. If there are 15 songs on it like Bounty, Beenie, Ele, Vybz Kartel and the disc jockey play those, yours might be the last to play and no man nuh have the time fi play 50 million song on the same riddim, so yours might end up not getting played even though it might be the best one on there."

The article in The Star suggests that Bugle hasn't recorded a popular song since his "Jamaican Thing" on the Yard Step rhythm. However, Bugle has songs on rhythms like Tremor, 90s Style and Enrapture's forth-coming Swiss Bank.
