Agent Sasco Talks Generational Wealth in New Single “Nothing to Something”

Released on January 1, 2026 via Big Win Music, Nothing to Something is an aggressive yet uplifting dancehall single from Agent Sasco. The track blends sharp lyricism with a motivational message, reinforcing the artist’s reputation for substance-driven music that resonates beyond the dancefloor.

On the record, Agent Sasco—widely regarded as one of dancehall’s strongest lyricists—speaks candidly about discipline, hard work, and the pursuit of generational wealth. Drawing from his own family history, he references roots grounded in Coronation Market vending and plantation labor, while declaring his determination to create a future where his descendants walk a very different path defined by opportunity and legacy.

Nothing to Something was produced by Cordel “Skatta” Burrell, the acclaimed music producer, audio engineer, musician, songwriter, and marketing strategist. Together, Burrell and Agent Sasco deliver a powerful statement that aligns cultural awareness with forward-thinking ambition.
