A couple weeks ago Jamaican hip-hop / dancehall artist, Kyng Dyce, released the single “Making Love Right Here” on his own Dyce Records label. After receiving a lot of positive reviews about the track, Dyce and his team thought it prudent to immediately produce some visuals to compliment the song.
Domz Media was then brought on board to create the video and the result is a smooth, sensual, laid back clip, which was shot in the tourist district on the beautiful island of Jamaica. Click here or on the image above to watch the video and remember to like, comment and share.
