Nicko Rebel Music, based in South Florida, started as a sound system in
2004. After moderate success, the group produced mixtapes that were
distributed globally and also featured on popular websites and
entertainment forums. Since then, the label has been producing music for
local and international artistes under the guidance of its founder,
producer and engineer Nicholas ‘Nicko’ Davis.
Davis, who credits his “innovative approach” to producing dancehall music for the steady growth of the label, said he was elated when he learned that Looking Good would be featured on the list.
“This is something every music producer and artiste wants to happen. Being featured on iTunes’ ‘New & Noteworthy’ list is a great honour, and is something that speaks to not just the popularity of dancehall, but that our music is able to cross any boundary and let people anywhere enjoy themselves.”
He continued that working with Macka Diamond on the track was effortless.
“She is the kind of artiste you really enjoy working with. It was really fun recording the track and I’m looking forward to working with her as we finalise plans to promote the single,” he said.
For her part, Macka Diamond said she was “surprised and honoured” at the song’s listing.
“We knew it was a good song. It is definitely a different feel than a run-of-the-mill dancehall tune, and Nicko is a talented producer so we make a good team. Recording the song was a lot of fun, and I guess that comes out in the lyrics and the music,” the proclaimed ‘money goddess.'
