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.
