Jamaican dancehall superstar “Sean Paul” Henriques, will host his first live-streaming concert of 2021 on May 8. He will drop the second of two new albums this month also.
The new album, Scorcha, follows on the heels of the Live N Livin album.
The Grammy-Award winning artiste has been back home since February 2020, after his Australian tour was cancelled due to the covid19 pandemic. Utilising the extra time productively in studio and for spending time with his wife, Jodi, and two young children, Levi and Remi, Paul is ready to share the stage and his new music with his fans and followers, while setting a new precedent and advocating for more collaborations among artistes in the dancehall fraternity.
Bounty Killer, Bob Marley
Outspoken deejay Bounty Killer recently referenced the late Bob Marley when he hit back at those suggesting Dancehall contributes to crime.
The topic resurfaced with fervor after comments made by Prime Minister Andrew Holness in a parliamentary session last month. On the weekend, the Warlord flipped the question of whether a causal link exists between the two into a fitting history lesson for his 800K Instagram followers.
“How did the great legendary Bob Marley got shot in the mid 70s,” Bounty Killer asked in his Instagram caption. “Was it bcuz of musical or political influence on the ppl???”
Sean Paul
Dancehall superstar Sean Paul has maintained that whether or not he has “street cred” in Jamaica is a non-factor at this point in his career. He’s implied that he’s in good company as Koffee, though revered across Jamaica, has not attracted street cred either.
Street cred, is one of Dancehall’s most powerful currencies, with which a deejay can create a legacy that perpetuates long after they have passed, as in the case of Tenor Saw (
Ring The Alarm) who spent his childhood years in the rough communities of Payne Land, Maverley and Olympic Gardens and who was murdered at age 21, and after whom Lady Saw was named.
