The dusty slums that was once full of the sounds of gun fire and
the sounds of bodies thumping on the floor staining the streets of Jamaica is
no more.
(Artist name 1&2)-once close friends, had an argument over
(artist name 1) using (artists name 2) without consent. The song became number
one in the reggae charts and got signed to VP Records. (Artist 2) made a comeback
song "F*** your number one" which coursed an up raw in Jamaica.
(Artist 1) replied back with "Finders keepers." This was the breaking
point. People picked their sides and started their own gangs which separated
Jamaica into two. The "war" between the two gangs continued for two
years with 207 people dead and many more missing. The two artists that started
the "war" have called a truce and are now focusing on becoming the
next big thing to take reggae by storm. Both (Artists 1&2) are heavily
influenced by dancehall and creating songs that are created for “daggering” on
the dance floor. They have created a single called “king of the jelly” which
went straight to number one for 3 weeks. It is one of the most played songs at Caribbean
parties. (Artist 1&2) started to move away from this and moved to “twerking
songs” which would have a wider range of listeners. (Artist 1) said “The more
universe the music the better. How me a see it, more listeners the more rass
clart money, remember me tell you that”. Twerking is one of the new trends. It involves
moving your bum cheeks in a rhythmic motion. “Move it mi gyal” was there hit twerking
song that got artists such as meek mill, p-diddy, lil wayne and drake interested
with them and their music that they are creating as a duo. They both signed a
contract with MMG (Rick Ross’ record label) (Artist 2) “signing with MMG was
our biggest but greatest decision of our lives. Entertaining our fans is what
we enjoy doing, we are making millions over something we could do in our sleep.
It is better than fearing my life everyday when I could cure the world with my
music.”
The new upcoming artists have been called the new school tupac and
biggie of today’s reggae/dancehall music “when people have been compared to
someone else you haven’t made it- you haven’t become as big as you want to be. When
you have made it you would become the new school of yourself and others will be
compared to yourself.” (artist 1) knows
what he knows what he wants to become and shows this by buying a brand new Lamborghini
which costs £75,000,000 and buys a custom made rolex with rare black gold on
the watches face.
