"Bad man" songs or gun songs are a part of the culture. Yes, art imitates life! However, many argue that some of our artists are taking the 'badness' way too far. What about social responsibility? Are artists releasing music solely for monitory gains, meanwhile the effects are detrimental to society. What about the fans? Join us on this spirited discussion as the the Reggae Talk team digs into both sides of the coin! We call ourselves the "Voice of Reason for a Reason" ! ;)

"The Voice of Reason for the Culture."

On Episode 9 of Reggae Talk Podcast, the team digs into the underlying issues that are plaguing Jamaican music, specifically Dancehall. Though our music is powerful and has influenced a multitude of diasporic genres and pop culture, the Jamaican music industry continues to struggle or remain stagnant. As Vybz Kartel once said, the main element we're lacking is the INDUSTRY. What is preventing the Jamaican music industry from seeing the growth we've experienced in the past, meanwhile other diasporic industries are rising?

On Episode 8 of Reggae Talk Podcast, the team digs into the ‘sharing culture’ that has formulated across social media. Why do people share content? Why don’t people share content?

Be sure to check out this episode, since we can all relate! Be sure to check out our hosts on IG : @reggaemusicforever @akafareal & @iam_vmonroe. Also, be sure to check out @reggaetalk IG.

What has caused the shift in the sound? Why isn’t Jamaican Dancehall music crossing over like one time? You don’t want to miss this spirited conversation!
