From collaborations with multi-
Grammy winners and top billboard
charting rapper Kash Doll, Jamaican
born dancehall singer-songwriter
Hoodcelebrityy embodies female
empowerment through her music
with subjects that reflect real life,
says Destine Media.
“From celebrating women, to sexy
party anthem, to the reality of heedless
people, the talented artist says it
like it is, and pulls no punches like
with her latest ‘Ungrateful’ track,”
it said.

“It is a song too often regrettably

has not only delivered her
music gift to speak out against the
latter but also shared her daily mantras
depicted on the artwork,” Destine
Media added.

policy.”
“If a man lays his hands on a woman,
he should be prepared to meet God,”
she told Caribbean Life, crediting this
lesson to her mother.
Von Chase noted that “the topic of
