After 8 weeks on the top 25 charts Jr. Pinchers second chart topping song breaks the TOP 10 by jumping three spots from number 12 to the number 9 spot. BACK BROKE, the first single off of Jr.'s upcoming 2nd album is his 2nd TOP 10 showing. RETV début the video plus a special "Behind the Scenes" segment that showed how the video was being made. Airing this past Friday to rave reviews, word from Jamaica is that "people who keep missing the video are sitting in front of their TV’s waiting for it to air again." other who don't have cable are waiting for the video to air on regular network TV.
MTV, VHI, and BET are watching what the video does on the JA. charts and will premier it in the U.S. when it hits number 1 on the JA. charts. The video has gathered over 3,000 views in the last 3 days as the video is going viral. Bloggers are taking about the mash-up of an Electronic song with a Jamaican artist sing-rapping on such a catchy beat! From London to California Déjà’s, Sound Boys, and even other labels are raving about the mash-up.
More traditional Reggae Déjà’s are not feeling the track as much as the rest of the world. But when you take a Rasta from the Reggae Genre and mix it into the Elctronica/Dance world and create a new Genre, you won’t be able to please everyone. Back Broke, will continue to climb the charts on the way to becoming the first Electronic song to top the Jamaican Dancehall charts in JA and continue to spread to other charts worldwide.
With this entire buzz about Jr. Pinchers Worldwide, what do you have to say about the song and video? Check it out, and then comment here or on Youtube about the video I am sure Jr. P is watching to see what people have to say about his new Genre.

The video is filled with hot girls, great visuals and has the creative flare of top tier talent...but wait it does. Juan M & Jaime D from Nativo a creative power house marketing firm out of Miami with offices in Bogota Columbia is one of the driving forces behind the videos over all artistic look. We caught up with Juan and Jaime and asked them how they managed to land a music video, since they are known for their creative work with clients like Pepsi, HBO Latino, among other big name brands.
MFUSA: How did you guys meet Jr. P? Juan & Jaime: (Juan) We are the marketing arm of Sloppishizzle Records and they asked us to do a photo shoot for a new artist they were going to sign (at the time) and we had such a great vibe doing the photo shoot we told them when they are ready to shoot a video let us know.
MFUSA: Had you shot a video before? Juan & Jaime: (Juan) No, but... (Jaime) we have always prepared a "Behind the scenes" video for all of our clients and this was just a natural progression. We worked in the "big bad world" of advertising so we both had experience being on set but not as the directors and Jaime and I work so well together that we make up one person when we are together, so directing a music video was just a natural progression for us.
MFUSA: How was the process for you? Juan & Jaime: (Jaime) we brought in a very accomplished producer Orlando Zamora who was also our editor. From the start we had pre-production meetings so we could map out the overall vision from Jr. P and the Twinz and we took that vision and wrapped a production schedule around it and put a dollar amount to making the video a reality. Once we got the green light from the label we got to work securing all the equipment we needed through Orlando. Over all the process was quite smooth and on the day of the shoot as hectic as it was for the 12 hrs of shooting. It literally went off without a hitch. (Juan) It even went down to the last minute of shooting to get the final shot!
MFUSA: How did it get to the last minute what do you mean? Juan & Jaime: (Juan) We have a budget that we needed to stick to and one of those items was the space we used to shoot the video. Once we started we had a timer running backwards on us. Once that timer reaches zero then, we would have to pay for any time we use over that time and sometimes depending on the location they can charge you for every minute over your allotted time. We took the video shoot down to the last seconds and then we had to be out of the space, it was a great feeling getting 24 hrs of shooting into a 12 hr day!
MFUSA: What can we expect from this video? Juan & Jaime: (both) Girls, girls, and more girls… (Juan) No you can expect to see lots of energy, hot girls of course but not exploited, more celebrated as woman than objects. Look at the video several times we put a lot of detail into the video for you to see, creative details. I am not going to say what they are you will just have to find them and comment on them yourselves. We also wanted to make sure we represented Jamaica in the video since the artist is originally from Jamaica. We hope you like the video as much as we enjoyed making it and there is a great surprise at the end of the video for you.
