“Nah we ain’t Tweakin !!!”

Even before retiring as an athlete in 2017, legendary Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt dabbled in music. Bolt premiered as a DJ in 2010, and as a producer in 2019. Now he can also call himself a recording artist. Bolt’s debut album Country Yutes, in collaboration with his manager and childhood friend Nugent “NJ” Walker and featuring several other Jamaican dancehall artists, will be available for pre-order on Sept. 3.

The album’s lead single “It’s a Party” was released back in January, followed by “Living the Dream,” “Need Your Love” and “Say Less,” featuring Bibi and Kamal.

“If you have followed my career over the years, you would see me always dancing and listening to music. It’s no secret to the world that I love music. Music has just always been a part of my DNA.”

—Usain Bolt
