The Guyanese creativity behind Nigy Boy’s latest hit “Good Intentions”

Jamaican dancehall sensation Nigy Boy’s latest track “Good Intentions” is more than just good beats and bars – it’s a creative triumph grounded deeply in Guyanese talent, collaboration, and vision.
From concept to final cut, the song and music video are a testament to what happens when Guyanese creatives take centre stage in global music storytelling.
The genesis of the project dates back to a creative partnership formed during Nigy’s visit to Guyana last year, where a group of Guyanese creatives worked with the dancehall artiste on his hit song “Karma”, which was also filmed in the country.
It was during that trip that a Guyanese producer named Ridwaan Razack laid the foundation, crafting the beat that would become the spine of this latest track.
Nigy recorded his vocals first and sent them over to Guyanese Dominic Remar Weekes, who also worked on the last project.
The creative director and co-artist behind the project, who has worked extensively in video production and storytelling, recorded, mixed, and mastered his part in May.
Yet, despite his experience, coming up with the right concept was no easy feat.
“You get stuck in a perfectionist mode,” he confessed.

But long-time creative partner and manager, Jonathan Beepat, stepped in to help shape the idea into something tangible and striking.
Filming took place in both Guyana and New York; a deliberate move to reflect Nigy’s mobility and to ensure the final product maintained a strong Guyanese identity.
“We knew we wanted to have the Guyanese imprint and identity on the video, so it was imperative for us to film part of the video here in Guyana,” he explained. “New York was our best bet for filming with Nigy while he was touring.”
The result is a cinematic experience that pulls viewers in from the first frame and holds their attention through to the very end.
In total, the production took four months. “It might sound like an eternity,” he noted, “but there was a lot of chopping and changing, moving things around, and just making sure the entire team was comfortable with what we were putting out.”
Weekes noted that more than anything, the project is a showcase of Guyanese excellence.
Alongside the director, several other creatives from Guyana played vital roles.
They are Dwayne Jordan, who handled camera work and editing; Jonathan Beepat, who co-directed and helped script the video; Ridwaan Razack, who besides producing the beat, connected the artists and facilitated the video’s production; Joel Brown, another Guyanese producer who worked on the song’s recording and final mix; and Jamar Marcus, who was involved throughout—from playing the initial beat in his car while the lyrics were being written, to laying additional vocals on the chorus.
“The video is a high-quality one – not just by Guyanese standards, but by global standards,” Weekes emphasised.
“That sends a message that the quality of work is ready to transcend far beyond just this land of ours which they say has less than a million people,” he further noted.
Weekes noted too that working with Nigy again was a rewarding experience. “His energy remained high throughout. He was so easy to work with.”
As for what’s next, Weekes said: “Some of the most meaningful, most personal, and important music I’ve ever created. I’m going to get started on that process soon.”
