Elephant Man Is In It For Life In “Forever Dance”


It takes a lot for someone to be dedicated. When there’s passion involved, being dedicated to something or something is a day to day process for a long time. When it comes to the culture of Dancehall Music, Elephant Man is dedicated for life, and he elaborates on it in, “Forever Dance“.

Produced by Sponge Music, Elephant Man stands tall in his commitment to the culture in, “Forever Dance”. Since his debut in Music close to 30 years ago, Ele has incorporated dancing in his releases, and you can’t help but dance to his music. Whether he makes a dancing song, or gives Dancers and their creations a larger platform, you can’t deny his place as a Dancing King, a trendsetter, and one of the Artists who helped to open the door for many Creatives. In some of the conversations, Elephant Man doesn’t get mentioned, but we believe he deserves his flowers, and should be held in high regard as an Ambassador, and one of Dancehall greats. There have been clones, but the Deejay continues to stand out. Ele is married to the game, and there’s no room for separation. “Forever Dance” is the latest in a series of singles the Deejay has released as a part of “Energy God Summer“. Buss a dance today, whether it’s “Log On“, “Signal De Plane“, “Sweep“, “Gully Creep“, “Crazy Hype“, “Pon Di River“, or “Rifle Walk“, and remember Elephant Man’s significant contributions to the culture.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Fathead – Champion (1983)


The winning season is here, and it’s going down in Paris, France for the 2024 Olympic Games. We wish all the Athletes all the best, but we really want Team Jamaica to carry home a lot of Gold. Today’s Oldies Sunday selection highlights another type of Champion, and we present to you the late Dancehall Artist Fathead with the track, “Champion“.

Produced by Henry “Junjo” Lawes and released through Greensleeves in 1983, Fathead stands tall as an achiever in “Champion”. He shares and celebrates his accomplishments, reflects on his journey, and highlights his abilities that earned him his wins. The track was done over the “Revolution Riddim“, and it became a known release for the Deejay. During a time when Sound Clashes ruled the night, Fathead is one of many who would help a Sound System secure the win, and defeat a fellow Deejay when it came to one on one spats.

Since the release of “Champion”, Fathead would go on to release more singles, including some with longtime friend and collaborator Yellowman. Sadly, he would lose his life in 1988, but his music continues to live on in many who see themselves as champions. Today’s post was inspired by Team Jamaica, let’s get the Gold!
