the macho man is pretty much dead in dancehall and rap in 2016. everyone is like prince now. must be hormones in the water or something. too much tofu in the diet.

Trawling the Rinse FM playlist and this is on the A-list.

I like what I've heard of Popcaan but I don't hear anything as distinctive about him as yer Sizzlas, Elephant Mans, Vybz Kartels, etc. Anyone help me unnastand?

He makes catchy pop tracks and I don't know how consciously this is done, but he hasn't said one homophobic bar on the 60 or so tracks I've heard, which makes labels probably salivate over how much easier it is to promote him than the artists you mentioned.

Love the kick drum on this one, very awkward and counter to the groove in the sections with just hi hat, kick and cymbal:


This is the first song released in 2017 I've enjoyed:
