‘Maria Maria’ Hitmaker Heaps Praises On Jamaican Artists Lila Iké And Laty Kim

Jamaican artists Lila Iké and Laty Kim recently got high praises from the Maria Maria hit maker, Marvin Moore-Hough.

The American hitmaker, who makes up one-half of the duo The Product G&B, described Iké as a “beast” making reference to her superb vocal ability, following a studio session.

“Had the pleasure of being in the studio last night with @lilaike, she is a serious problem #Beast,” said Moore-Hough below a photo of him and the Thy Will singer in a recent Instagram post.

“Got me on my toes lol, ” he added making reference to up-and-coming dancehall artist Laty Kim.

While it is unclear if the trio are in the studio collaborating, what is clear is that all parties saw the session as positive, with Iké later taking to IG to share about the experience.

“Mariaaa Mariaaaaa grew up singing this banger🔥 met @marvin_moore3,” Iké said, as she reflected on the studio session.

Meanwhile, a source close to Laty Kim, said that the experience was a positive one, particularly as she just put out the visuals for her tune Gi State.

“She has not said what they were working on, but I know that the studio session was very positive and I believe also fruitful,” said the source who revealed that Laty Kim was in the United States to celebrate a friend’s birthday.
