Despite experiencing a rapid rise in the music industry when he was a teenager, Dancehall artiste Pablo YG expressed that he feels like he is running out of time. The young artiste who turned 20 in February, shared his thoughts on several topics in a newly released interview, in which he also talks on becoming a Dancehall sensation.
“Mi wouldn’t expect seh mi wudda be big so but the time span weh mi give mi self, the fame and fortune pop up pan mi quicker than weh mi think. Of course when mi deh alone, mi think bout dem thing deh and mi think the best way how mi can mek use a dat,” he said during the interview with TVJ’s Entertainment Report.

His popular 2023 song, Rich N Richer, garnered considerable praise, and a freestyle of the song grabbed the attention of prominent American live streamer Kai Cenat, who did a live reaction. “That freestyle was the most popular freestyle from Jamaica and From The Block,” Pablo said, adding that Kai’s reaction video further boosted his recognition.
Pablo YG’s musical style falls within the sub-genre of Trap Dancehall, which he indicated is a promising category for deejays, despite some saying otherwise. He mentioned Skillibeng and Byron Messia as prime examples of successful deejays in Trap Dancehall.
Additionally, the deejay expressed that he aims to connect with both young and old with his music. He expressed not wanting to be perceived as a “bad man” deejay who has conflicts with the police because he is genuinely humble.
During the interview, he also praised Reggae singer YG Marley for the melody in his hit song Praise Jah In The Moonlight and highlighted how the singer brings hope to the Reggae genre. As he continues his journey and strives to improve his skills, Pablo YG will be busy in Canada in the near future with numerous bookings and his new EP.
