Badda General Weighs In On The “King Of Dancehall” Topic In “The Debate”

Posted on by swadedavillain

Who is the King of Dancehall? Some say Bounty, some say Beenie, some say Kartel, some say Alka, some say Masicka. With plenty of names being thrown in the hat whenever conversations start, there is always division. Recently, the topic got hot when Vybz Kartel was given the title, but fellow Dancehall Artist Beenie Man opposed, and shared a few words about it. Dancehall Artist/Producer Badda General decided to step in, and discuss the new controversy in the single, “The Debate“.

Released through Real Squad Records, Badda General weighs in on the “King of Dancehall” topic in “The Debate”. While there are a number of names being called aside from Vybz Kartel, Badda shares that at the end of the day, no matter what awards, sales, and streams say, the streets make the overall decision on who qualifies for the Dancehall throne. He mentioned former GRAMMY winners Sean Paul, Shabba Ranks, Buju Banton, and Shaggy, who have made great contributions to uplifting the culture, but he also gave a short History lesson on past Artists who helped to shape Dancehall, and are a part of the G.O.A.T. list like U-Roy and Yellowman. There will be Kings, and everyone has their time, but the debates will never end. Who is YOUR King of Dancehall?

Remember the Black Cowboy Film “The Harder They Fall“? The Netflix Film was directed by Jeymes Samuel, starred Idris Elba, Regina King, and Jonathan Majors, and instantly became a hit. Samuel is back with a new Film called “The Book Of Clarence“, has brought along a soundtrack that is packed with a few stars including Buju Banton, Shabba Ranks, and Lil Wayne on the track, “Hallelujah Heaven“.

Produced by Jeymes Samuel (Hip Hop heads may know his early work as a part of Production team “The Bullits“), “Hallelujah Heaven” is a display of Gospel-tinged sounds, thumping drums, solid lyricism, and great energy from two Jamaican legends, and a New Orleans Hip Hop legend. Buju and Shabba are no strangers to Hip Hop/Dancehall collaborations, and they ensured that their words connect with the people of Earth and the beings in Heaven, and keep the darkness out of the hearts of many. “Hallelujah Heaven” is just one of many tracks that make for a great soundtrack for a Film that is already high on the anticipation. “The Book Of Clarence” stars LaKeith Stanfield, who plays a man in Jerusalem who is down on his luck, and has to go through a series of events in order to have a better life. The Film also stars Teyana Taylor and Omar Sy, and will hit the Theatre screens on January 12, 2024.
