2017 was arguably among the most progressive years for Jamaican reggae music in recent times. Several young stars and veterans put out songs that became staples on the airwaves and formed the soundtrack of daily life of reggae lovers at home and abroad.
Perhaps one of the biggest winners for the period, in this regard, was Dillgin with his anthemic track ?Still A Work.? In fact, ?Still A Work? could easily rank as one of the songs of the year, especially as it relates to songs that were burning up the streets.
The catchy and melodious track became a point of reference for many struggling to ?make it? and was a staple at street dances and parties for the entirety of 2017. It commanded ?forwards? and requests for ?pull up? (Jamaica?s version of asking for an encore) on many occasions. Top selectors, such as Boom Boom, kept spinning the song to satisfy the appetites of attendants to various sessions and street dances, including Uptown Mondays.
But ?Still A Work,? in 2017, was more than just a viral track on the streets. The song, which promotes a positive mindset amid adversities, was a catalyst for Dillgin?s trek back onto the charts and into the hearts and minds of reggae music lovers everywhere. With the song gaining consistent rotation on radio stations such as Irie FM, Dillgin acted on the momentum to drop his debut album, Million Miles.
Continued demand for the song locally and abroad also spawned performances and tours for the artist, who is now based in California. Local appearances included his performance alongside Sanchez and Mr. Khool at the 2nd staging of his own show, ?Jah Love is Shining.? The singer, who also wears the hat of producer, also performed his hit song and other tracks at Weddy Weddy, held at the Stone Love HQ.
Dillgin also played the part of TV personality in 2017 when he hosted the VTX Top 10 Countdown on Hype TV, and he was the subject of a number of interviews. Internationally, Dillgin picked up on the good vibes emanating from ?Still A Work,? particularly in the continent of South America where he kicked off a tour in Brazil at the start of summer and gained new fans.
In addition to the impact on the streets, Dillgin was also a presence digitally, with his big tune spending time on several charts and racking up tens of thousands of views on YouTube. Dillgin built further on the momentum by putting out new music, launching the video for ?Heart of Mine,? another fan favourite.
