“I’m about to make a big announcement, I know it’s gonna hurt a lot of people but I have my personal reason.

Earlier in an interview with Saturday Beats, Terry G had talked about his plans for 2024 saying, “I will be putting out new content. My single will be dropping early this year with a video. I will also be releasing an album.
“I want to shoot my own movie too. I am writing the script, and I’ll act in it. I am also writing a book about my experience. The book, which is titled, ‘Chante Chante: The Book of Ginjah’, will shed light on the meaning of my supposed ‘nonsense’ words, so people can understand and appreciate my music more.”
While saying that he created a genre in the music industry, he said, “I will not change but I will keep evolving.”
