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.

Despite the obstacles faced in life there we also use dancehall to motivate them,” Winky D said.
