While still making songs and releasing his debut album Bad From We Born in Japan last year, Munga has failed to ignite the fire he once had among fans and on radio. When THE STAR caught up with the deejay recently, he said he believed he still had what it would take to regain his throne, and he has big plans in the making.

In a telephone interview, Munga, born Damian Rhoden in St Mary, explained that he had just returned to Jamaica after a show in Costa Rica and before that, was in St Vincent. Since returning, it has been back to the studio where he's working on his untitled sophomore album, an album that will be released on his new label - Hill Top Records.

Munga said, "Right now, I'm releasing some new singles, my album will comprise three singles from Don Corleon called Don't Beg Fren, Anyweh We Go on his Pulse rhythm and an exclusive unreleased single. There will also be singles from DJ Frass and I have a few out for Russian now, he's actually suppose to be building some beats for me as we speak. I have my label working on with my new artistes Sustain and Mad Rhymes." This album he says, unlike his debut, will be geared at the US market.

While Munga is still working on getting a location set up for his studio, he says he plans to expand more in the business and take his career in his own hands. Hill Top will be involved in artiste management, but Munga will mostly be involved in production work alongside producers Jerome Blake and Richard Pearson of Mosiah Music.

Working with producers such as Russian, Frass, Mafia and Suku from Ward 21, Munga says everything is still good between himself and Don Corleon, who played a major role in 'bussing' his career.

When asked about how Corleon felt about him releasing his next album on his own label, he said, "Well, we never sat down and spoke about it but I don't think is a problem. Don have more than one artiste to focus on, I don't think I should wait hand and foot on him in every aspect."
