Dancehall artiste Javes ‘Dan Jah V’ Cox is at it again and this time he has released a song called “Amicicide”. Expected to be a hit, the song targets fake friends who secretly scheme to bring you down.

“The song means friend killer. It talks about bad-minded friends who secretly plot to bring you down, whether it is to fabricate lies or drag your name through the mud just so that other people looking on have a better perception of their own image. The song brings to light about the people who only love you until you become a competition. When things like these happen it’s not that people have changed, it’s just that certain situations reveal who they really are,” Dan Jah V explained.

The fulltime singer/song writer has collaborated with a recording label from Jamaica known as Damage Musiq and the song has been mixed and mastered by AJ Recording Studio. The song is one that has been added to the renowned Conquest Paradise Riddim giving a more familiar rhythm for his fans.

On March 5, the artiste also released another single called “Chap Road” which he did with local Dancehall colleague and friend Curtly ‘Kurt Lee’ Lake.

Dan Jah V is currently in the studio working on an EP (an extended play) set to be released on May 3. The EP will have four songs – “Cyaan Wait,” “Changes,” “Stop Bad Mind” and “Dead Beat Dads”.

The last two weeks, the Essequibian performed at the Gal Da Ville Concert in Jamaica. He is scheduled to perform at the Guyana National Stadium alongside Alkaline, Nappy, Sno, Tommy Lee, Sparta and Rygin King this Easter weekend.

Dan J V took the opportunity to acknowledge his teammates and supporters: “I’d like to say a big thank you to Damage Musiq, AJ Records (Home of the Legends), my manager, my team (Incentive) and I’d also want to say a special thank you to my loyal fans.”

All songs can be found on all digital platforms such as – Spotify, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and iTunes among others.
