"The song is one everyone will enjoy. LL Cool J is loved by the ladies and respected by the thugs, suh, you done know, it's a good look. It was an honour and a joy to have the opportunity and to know an icon like LL Cool J respect dancehall and the Gully Gad," said Mavado.

Mavado has eyes set on his upcoming performance at the third annual Philadelphia Reggae in the Park Festival on August 3.
