The consensus among reggae insiders is that KashieF Lindo‘s latest single, “Maybe,” is destined to be a breakout hit. Released in early March, the lovers-rock reggae tune, which was produced by Willie Lindo, is now enjoying heavy rotation and features on both traditional and new media.

After recently speaking with KashieF to get the back story on the writing and production process, I decided to reach out to some of the DJs on the MJ27 Focus Group to get their thoughts on the record. See just a few of the responses below.
