Movado aka Gully Gad

Mavado, aka “The Gully God,” is a dancehall artist who was born in Cassava Piece, Kingston, Jamaica on November 30, 1981. David Constantine Brooks is his true name. Real McKoy, on the Anger Management Riddim, was his first single, and it was an instant hit in Jamaica, the Caribbean, and the United States. But it was the release of his track “Weh Dem a Do” that gave him his big break.

He has quickly established himself as the most sought-after reggae and dancehall musician for collaborations. Wyclef Jean, Foxy Brown, Jay-Z, Lil Kim, and 50 Cent’s G-Unit are among the artists who have collaborated with him.

The Big Bad Bounty

Bounty Killer, a street-tough nasty guy with an unashamed propensity for gun talk, was one of the most violent dancehall stars of the 1990s. His songs also included condemnations of corrupt authorities, collaborations with hardcore hip-hop artists, tributes to his mother, and a DJ feud with Beenie Man.

Worl’ Boss

aka Vybz Kartel

Vybz Kartel began his career as a teenager in 1993, when he released his first single, “Love Fat Woman,” on Alvin Reid’s “One Heart” label, under the alias “Adi Banton,” in homage to Buju Banton. Palmer eventually became a student of Bounty Killer, including “Gal Clown,” and was a member of the three-member group “Vybz Cartel,” preserving the name when the group split up.

After a succession of songs in Jamaica, Vybz Kartel catapulted to stardom in 2003.

What Exactly is Dancehall Music?

Dancehall music, also known as ragga or dub, is a Jamaican popular music genre that arose from the country’s political turmoil in the late 1970s and became the country’s dominant music in the 1980s and 1990s. The deejay, who raps, or “toasts,” over a taped rhythm track (bass guitar and drums), or “dub,” is central to dancehall.

Part talking, part singing, the seductive chant of the dancehall deejay sprang to fame in the late 1970s, but it dates back to 1969, when U-Roy experimented with talking over or under a “riddim” (rhythm). This multimodal African diasporic style can also be found in North American hip-hop music, and both can be linked back to West African performance practices.

Computer-generated rhythms automated and sped up the dancehall beat throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Slackness and gun talk dominated dancehall deejays’ lyrics from the 1980s until the mid-1990s, with Shabba Ranks, Ninjaman, Bounty Killer, Lady Saw, and Lovindeer among the most renowned (who composed in a calypso idiom). Buju Banton, Anthony B, and Sizzla, who built on the work of Tony Rebel and Josey Wales earlier in the decade, reflected a revived Rastafarian consciousness in the late 1990s.
