While speaking to the Press, on the new content and it’s title, Benks said “I draw alot of energy from dancehall and Calypso and infuse afro in it. Rum Pom Pom is something a Caribbean artiste would do. I also listen to a lot of Shabba Ranks and the others… that’s how I came about the sound Rum Pom Pom. Rum Pom Pom is a vibe that means let’s vibe, party, dance, chill. Anything that involves entertainment is Rum Pom Pom.
