Dancehall Star Intence Draws Fire From Savage In Multiple Diss Tracks

Dancehall artiste Savage aka Savo has been more than forthright about his dislike of Intence.  With a video to supplement his latest single, Through The Gate, Intence has drawn the aggression of Savage who immediately responded with Through Hell’s Gate.

But, the Fire First deejay has been drawing fire from Savage for several weeks now.

Intence’s recent embrace of Alkaline, not to mention his scuffle with Vybz Kartel, has unfortunately established the Tavern, St. Andrew native as a musical enemy of the Kartel-led GAZA clan.

GAZA ‘VP’ Sikka Rymes took aim at Intence after the Kartel controversy and released Dem Nuh Bad on April 12.  Shawn Storm then followed up with Blud Bath and took shots at both Aidonia and Intence.  It would seem that the Go Hard artiste is now fielding fire from the extended Gaza family, of which Savage is now apart.

Hallow Point, Savage’s first Intence diss track, was released on May 2 and got straight to the point from the very first verse, “Bwoi fi dead from yuh diss di dancehall king.” The vendetta (pun intended) is established in that initial bar.

The song goes on, the lyrical monstrosity that it is, to further disrespect the Yeng Boss in obscene ways typical of the dancehall battle genre.

Savage followed up with Intence Killing on May 13.

Although very lyrical in his second attempt, Savage mixes the grit of his usually violent songs, with some smooth flows and melodies. This track appears to be bait in some ways, daring Intence to be direct. In which case Savage is reserving the hardcore battle lyrics for such an altercation.

In an alternate single cover, Savage is depicted sitting in a chair with two armed men on either side and Intence wrapped in a bag on the floor in front of him. Even the song itself is deliberately titled “Intence Killing”.

Intence took the bait on June 15 and responded, indirectly with one bar from his newest single Through The Gate, no doubt a reference to his newfound stardom. The Yeng boss fired supposed subliminals at Kartel with the line “A beat dem bad so who a mad need them medication”.

This bar from Intence is no doubt a reference to Kartel’s recent dispute with Aidonia, who questioned his mental health, and also the recent Not Ok rock song by Vybz. Intence goes on to say, “Dem a cartoon, real animation. To dancehall dem a one big abomination.”, which many suspect to be directed at Savage.

Halfway ‘through the gate,’ Intence calls one of his targets a Judas.  He sings, “Suh tell judas mi an Jesus nuh di same guy.” The line is thought to be another jab at Savage, who was once part of Mavado’s Gully Squad, and now represents for their rival, the GAZA Empire.

With almost one million views on YouTube, Through The Gate is a certified hit for Intence. Watch it below.

Savage responded the very next day (June 16) with Through Hell’s Gate, an “insect” diss.

The Culu Culu singer again sets the mood in the intro “Hey yaad hype, how dem bwoy deh a chat chat suh, dem nuh know say a crime we deal wid?”

Savo sounds unhinged in this new track, and we can tell that unlike Intence Killing, this new single is riddled with the aggressive delivery, he known for. Savage seems to be pulling no punches in this new track, making direct reference to Intence’s new single “Mi kill him now, him duppy rise nine days. Di p–sy dead a gate, right inna him place”.

With the potential displayed by both of these artists, a clash would definitely warm up the summer, but Intence is likely to avoid a full-fledged lyrical confrontation.

He told TVJ’s Entertainment Report in April that he’s not interested in clashing with artistes who he believes are below him.

“Mi a focus pon my career yuh zeet. Mi a build me right now. Now a nuh the time fi clash and first ting a neva clash or competition mi use and buss yuh zeet”, he said in reference to Rymes’ diss track.

“Why mi ago deh up hereso and go clash a artiste weh down hereso? Dat nuh spell no sense”, he explained.
