ok, here's a question - does anyone know if the ragga/vocal side of jungle ever got any kind of exposure in Jamaica?? did the Barrington Levy, Bounty Killer vocal tracks ever make it big out there for example?
There were of course a few JA attempts at jungle (Steelie and Cleevie w/Ninjman for example - theres a thread about that stuff somewhere I think), so it is fair to say that there must have been some exposure. I also played some ragga jungle to a few people when I was in Jamaica a couple of years back, and they seemed familiar with the style...
As for JA Djs and singers knowing about it - almost certainly, as many of them voiced directly over jungle tunes... redrose, daddy freddy, pliers, frankie paul...
