Newcomer Jackie Hanover also known as “Jackie” who recently premiered on the music ‘scene’ during the Carib Soca Monarch Competition is speedily grabbing the attention of local music lovers.

Jackie who is also one the new frontline singers for Guyana’s ‘Heatwave Band’ is one of two artistes featured on Jory’s first mix tape with a freestyle entitled “ Put on de condom’ which has been receiving great reviews and tremendous airplay via radio and parties nationwide .

The song which speaks about the importance of practicing safe sex and getting tested not only sends out an important message, but is extremely entertaining with its groovy, old- age reggae with a modern-day flow; and is often compared to the recent “Teenage Pregnancy” song by Jamaican Dancehall superstar Vybz Kartel and Gaza Kim.

“Despite the fact that Guyanese are well-educated about HIV/AIDS they still ignore the facts and take the risk of getting infected. People should act wiser than that!” says Jackie when asked about the song.

The song is actually a series of bantering between the two artistes whereby Jackie insists on ‘riding’ without a condom by stating “Baby nah worry bout boots plus condoms too rough…” while Jory defends the opposite. She tries tirelessly to convince the star that she would like to get pregnant and condoms are uncomfortable but Jory stands his ground and eventually they both agree to get tested.

Jory first came up with the idea for the song but needed a female that he considered capable of handling such a task. He contacted Jackie who immediately loved the idea. The two met and recorded their co-written song a few hours later. “Yo that song mad I like Jackie’s style! She is very confident, talented and unafraid to try new things so I thought she would be the ideal person and I was right since everyone loves the song”, said Jory.

This song along with nineteen other blazing tracks on Jory’s new “Say what I want to say” mix tape can be heard blazing the airwaves, parties and popular Dj’s mix tapes.
