Switching up the gender role today is Deejay Spice with her new video. Titled “Like A Man“, Spice speaks on the gender inequality in Dancehall and asks if she would be respected more if she was a male deejay and dropped different lyrics. She also introduces “Splice“, the male version of Spice which was rather hilarious and shows her on camera diversity. If she deejayed like Vybz Kartel or tatted her eyes like Alkaline, would she be respected more? Interesting music video from the deejay.

Raine Seville is constantly reinventing herself and this time she’s fighting for her spot on top! The “Mad Dem” artiste recently released her new single “Suh Wi Roll” on the Task Force Riddim which was Bajan produced. The single is a counteraction to a track on the same rhythm done by Bajan buzzing artiste Brutal Crankstar’s “Badman Nuh Lip” which is currently one of the most played songs in Barbados. “This song is very different from what persons hear from me, I am versatile and I love proving people wrong” shared Raine.

Additionally, Raine whose new booking agent is Headline Entertainment released her first soca single entitled “Brace Back” produced by Bajan radio personality Jon Doe and Gorg. “I love surprising persons and this song is also very different it’s sexy, fun and an up-tempo dance track for the ladies” Seville shared.
