KELLY… I also put my all into each and every project, with the mindset of you’d never know which song or songs are going to take flight.

Two years after Sean Paul’s Like Glue earned gold certification from the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), producer Tony Kelly has earned another accolade from his enduring Buy Out rhythm project.

Last Friday, the BPI issued a silver certification (200,000 units sold) for the song Nuttin Nuh Go So, which was recorded by singer Notch, formerly of the Billboard-charting singing and deejaying duo Born Jamericans.

Released in 2001, Buy Out rhythm spawned several hits, including TOK’s Money to Burn, Like Glue (which climbed several Billboard and European charts), Miss LAP by Beenie Man, Gal Dem Every Time by Sadiki, Drive Me Crazy by Mr Easy, and Real Niggas by Twice featuring Spragga Benz.

When the Jamaica Observer caught up with Kelly on Saturday he was not surprised at the certification by the BPI.

“If you know me, you ago know that I live by ‘expect the unexpected’ and I make music with visa. I also put my all into each and every project, with the mindset of you’d never know which song or songs are going to take flight and stain the world,” said Kelly.

The songs on the Buy Out rhythm, including Notch’s single, were recorded at Kelly’s Lounge Studio.

Interestingly, although the project was released in 2001 on his K-Licious label, the beat was created at least five years earlier.
