“I’m one of the best lyricist in Dancehall music, my style is unique, and it’s untouchable.

I’m ready to go all the way to the top of the game,” said the artiste.

I’m not afraid of him I’m ready to clash him anytime he’s ready,” said First Born LNJ in a very serious tone. First born is also getting a lot of attention with the music video for his single titled Out There.
