Musician and radio presenter, Blakk Rasta fondly remembered for his international hit, ‘Barack Obama’ has revealed his disdain for Dancehall music owing to its profanity.
He therefore vowed not to play any Dancehall music on his radio program, saying it is against his believes as a Rastafarian.
The presenter emphasized that whilst Reggae music preaches about conscience and prayer, Dancehall on the other hand promotes promiscuity which is the reason he will never allow give airtime to that genre of music.
He further disclosed that Reggae music is a source of inspiration to many and serves as a life booster but same can’t be said about Dancehall which he labeled as needless noise.
He went ahead to use the incident which happened at the VGMA 2019 between Stonebwoy and Shatta Wale to buttress his point.
“Dancehall promotes sex and violence that is why I don’t play dancehall music on my shows. I don’t understand the dancehall they are doing, most of the artistes hate me because of my stance. Reggae is different from Dancehall, dancehall came out of reggae. Left to me alone, Reggae category should stand alone as it used to be in the past.”, he stated.
Dancehall is a genre of Jamaican popular music that originated in the late 1970s. Initially, Dancehall was a more sparse version of reggae than the roots style, which had dominated much of the 1970s.
