Dancehall is a sub-cultural genre derived from reggae and it is more upbeat and commercial.

It has found ground in most of the African region but locally only a few artists such as King Blak and Yaw Bannerman are into the genre.

“Dancehall is a tool used to address social issues, it’s meant for people of different background. You do not have to be a Rastafarian for you to listen to dancehall, it focuses on issues that are faced every day. Where I come from every ghetto youth has a dream in life. Despite the obstacles faced in life there we also use dancehall to motivate them,” Winky D said.
