Dancehall diva Spice has lamented the fact that Dancehall music has not been getting the accolades it is owed, despite the fact that numerous other genres of music, including Reggaeton and Hip Hop, were spawned from it.
In a recent Black Music Month interview with Revolt TV, the
So Mi Like It artist said while Reggae is revered globally, its offspring Dancehall is oftentimes given the ‘Cinderella treatment’.
“Dancehall has changed the whole aspect of music altogether. I don’t think people realize Dancehall has birthed so many other genres including hip hop. It was a DJ from Jamaica, DJ Kool Herc, who went to New York and that’s how hip hop was born,” Spice told Revolt TV.

During a Live Instagram session two days ago, Vegas sought to deconstruct Crawford’s argument which he had made during Saturday’s edition of the Onstage Entertainment.
Critiquing Crawford’s claims point by point, Vegas argued that people should research and think critically for themselves as opposed to just sucking up what Crawford said or being fearful of contradicting him, simply because he is a university lecturer, as lecturers are not always right.
