Demarco has been making an impressive resurgence in the dancehall industry, garnering massive attention with some of his recent songs. Demarco’s groovy singles Jancrow and Charge fi yuh have accumulated hundreds of thousands of views together, nudging the deejay closer to the forefront of dancehall again.

Jancrow is an upbeat track in which the deejay boasts about his flashy lifestyle, a roster of women, thuggish ways, and success in lottery scamming. While highlighting the different aspects of his life, he sarcastically refers to himself as a “jancrow.” The energetic music video has garnered over 206K views on YouTube since being released last month.
