Veteran dancehall artiste Mr G has said he's "extremely pleased" with the ever-growing public attention surrounding his music career in recent times.

Since releasing the prophetic single, Before the Year Done (Mi waan fi rich), early last year, the crafty lyricist has seen his career skyrocket and has so far been able to maintain the hype.

He has also played lead role in a recent commercial for telecommunications giant Claro, in which his hit single, Swaggerific, was used as a special theme song to describe the network's status.

He said the advert has so far been significant in his bid for a stronger presence in the public domain.

"The advert has been very significant. What Claro has done now is place Mr G as a major brand in Jamaica, because they (Claro) are a major company. I'm very appreciative of that," he said.

Mr G, formerly Goofy, has been in the music business for more than a decade, and while he had enjoyed ample success under his former identity, the deejay believes he is now quickly matching up to his earlier days.

"I am extremely pleased with everything now. As an artiste, this is what I have been working for. My aim is to become the biggest artiste in the world," said Mr G.

The deejay said he's currently working on a medley video
for the singles Swaggerific and Beat Dem Bad. However, he's yet to release Touch Me This Way, which features former Rising Stars contestant Chrissy.
