DSL releases “No Gree”, sends a message of resilience

Lawrence Senyo Adiase known in Ghana music as DSL has advised the youth against kowtowing to pressures of society in their endeavours.
He sent this message in his new song “No Gree” released on Thursday, February 22, 2024, preaching a message of resilience.
The new song explores the other side of DSL who is mostly known for his roots reggae vibes.
‘NO Gree’ produced by DJ Vyrusky has some soothing Amapiano log drum which is currently in high demand by partygoers.
Speaking at the release session held at Full Option at East Legon in Accra, DSL said he has realised that people have allowed themselves to be pressured so much by what is happening around them.
This peer pressure he said mostly stems from social media, thereby urging the youth not to allow such things to consume them.
“You see someone driving a car and you ask yourself when am I going to drive a car like this, and you end up losing hope in yourself,” he added.
According to him, all one has to do in times like these is to work hard, and with determination, you can achieve something in future.
DSL also urged everyone to be satisfied with what he or she has been able to achieve at a certain point in life.
The song which comes with a visualizer is available on all digital platforms.
After winning Mentor X, DSL has been steadily growing under the wings of Lynx Entertainment.
