The 14-track album which will further demonstrate his creativity, growth, and unforgettable presence as a lyricist, is guaranteed to secure all the accolades attributed to his debut project, even more. Unstoppable since his meteoric rise to the top shelf of Dancehall, amidst mounting opposition and constant criticism, Alkaline, is the most successful influential independent artiste to emerge from the Caribbean in recent history. His upcoming album will showcase his mastery of the field in a time when innovation seems to be low.
"This album is timely as with my experiences, the lessons learned and growth overtime, it is only fair that I bring everything full circle. All the Detta fans who have been a part of the movement from day one will appreciate it and even those who have just come to realize the fact will enjoy it… It bad! Lol" Alkaline states.

"Alkaline offers various merch options to fans through his online retail store www.Dettastore.com and he will be performing in Tampa Florida on February 20th. We encourage fans to purchase/stream the lead single 'Top Prize' as we gear up for the album whilst checking out the variety of options from masks to t-shirts as they prepare to attend the concert" states Shuzzr, Alkaline's publicist.
