A tussle ensues as the cops try to slap on handcuffs on the artist who continues to question why he is being arrested.
In an interview with the Jamaica Observer recently, Dexta Daps said he was putting in the work to ensure that he was no flash-in-the-pan, one-hit-wonder.
“It’s like a regular 9-5 for me. If I don’t work, I don’t get paid. I make a schedule which oftentimes starts with chilling with my peers on the corner, then it’s off to the studios to record. Sometimes, while holding a vibe with the youths, I may come up with the lines to a song, so every minute of my day is well spent,” he said.
Dexta Daps is known for songs including 7 Eleven, Pretty Nicky, This a the Best and Jealous Ova, a collab with female dancehall sensation Tifa.
