J Rile gets buzz in Europe with 'Jimmy'

European producers are eyeing J Rile as one of the dancehall-reggae industry's next big stars based on the buzz generated by his hit, 'Jimmy'.

That is the major reason producers from the independent label Evidence Muzik are in the island to meet him.

"The Jimmy song is doing well in Switzerland and other parts of Europe. All the sound systems over there are playing it, all the dances, and that's why we came here to find him and do a collaboration with him," Nicolas Maitre, a member of Evidence Muzik, said.

Jimmy tells a fascinating story of a murderous gangster who meets his demise after becoming Jamaica's most wanted.

J Rile and Maitre have recorded the collaboration, which has been tentatively titled 5:55, which will be mixed and mastered in Switzerland.

J Rile has big hopes that the collaboration will do well in Europe and build his growing brand.

great chemistry

"It was great working with Nicolas in the studio. We had great chemistry and the song is really quite good. We are now shooting a video for the song this weekend, so there will be scenes in Jamaica and in Switzerland," J Rile said.

J Rile is already getting more offers for a number of other collaborations with producers from Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean.

He is applying the finishing touches on an eight-track EP called No Limit.

"There are no fillers, all bangers," said the 25-year-old artiste, whose given name is Daniel Comrie.

Fans can look out for J Rile's latest song Up North on the 'Sports Mode' Rhythm, also produced by Dane Ray & K Swiss.
