Hydal believes ‘Rental’ has hit potential

Hydal, the man behind the song, Rental, admits that he has posed as a car owner to impress girls in the past.

In the song, Hydal speaks about men renting vehicles and using them to entice women who are being pursued. When Rental was released back in October, the recording artiste said the topic gave the song a certain buzz and he was hoping to capitalise on that attention and impact the music industry.

Some two months later, as the song creeps towards the half a million-views mark on YouTube, the artiste still believes the song has loads of potential, so much so he's predicting it will hit.

"Me think way more people need fi hear it, because Jamaica alone nah go make it be the big hit," he told THE STAR.

"More people inna di world need fi get familiar, and so right now we just a do some marketing and a promote it pan a level weh it can reach overseas. Once it get overseas, it automatically a go get pan a level weh it get big out here, cuz a so di music work innu. When things get to the level weh foreign a run wild it, it affi come back a Jamaica."

Hydal said that he has a slew of new music to be released in short order, including a follow-up track to Renta l, dubbed Gas Light.

"Hydal a guh be the talk of 2020 because me understand the need for difference and me a go deliver it. Me a come wid more unique concepts, more outta-di-box stuff, things weh yuh nah go hear the regular artistes sing bout every day. The music need different topics innu, and different image, different stage performances ... A whole heap a different works a guh come out fi dis year, so the fans can look out," he said.
