From Patra to Lady Saw, Beenie Man to Shabba Ranks, the Jamaican Dancehall scene has given birth to artists whose work, though widely influential in diasporic sub-cultures, have often gone overlooked and undervalued in the mainstream.

Their highly innovative looks, sounds and artistic statements mimicked and exploited to inject flavour and charisma into otherwise bland Pop stars.

Today, superstar Spice is determined to celebrate the scene’s contributions to culture.

And she’s already made ample headway with her globally renown bops such as ‘So Mi Like It’ and ‘Cool It.’

How she intends to do it the more?
