Dre Island, Popcaan, Zamunda
Talk and Stutter artist Zamunda, says he still continues to be blessed, as not only has he overcome his speech impediment, but is reaping success again with the revitalization of his 2011 hit breakout song
Jah Love Surround Me, which propelled him to national stardom.
He made the revelation about his speech, in an interview about his collaboration with Popcaan and Dre Island for the remake of Jah Love Surround Me, with Anthony Miller on Friday night’s edition of The Entertainment Report on Television Jamaica. Miller had asked the Clarendon native whether his “slight stutter” had been “a sort of a big problem or hindrance” for him in the music industry.
Beenie Man
Dancehall veteran Beenie Man owes his four decades of success to incredible work ethic and a penchant for causing controversy every now and then. That’s the case with many of his hits including the international smash
Who Am I, better known as
Sim Simma, that essentially launched him on his prolific, Grammy-winning trajectory. Culturally, the ’90s were a different context altogether, and back then fans and critics alike took issue with the tricky lines “how could I make love to a fellow? / In a rush, pass me the keys to my truck”.
Though he had the chance, and was even urged to change the lyrics by the track’s producer Jeremy Harding, Beenie Man saw the controversy as a major selling point; not only was he right, but he’s been handsomely rewarded.
