American artist Chance The Rapper is clearly a fan of Jamaican music, and wants his social media followers to introduce him to some new local tunes.
On Saturday afternoon, he took to Twitter to make his request, noting that he is open to all ages and genres of Jamaican music.
“Can someone put me on to some of their favorite songs from Jamaican Artists. It can be new or old, widely popular or hidden gems. Reggae, Dancehall, Riddim, mento literally whatever. Just need some music,” he said.
The responses ranged from Vybz Kartel, to Masicka, Dexta Daps, Shenseea, Skillibeng, Aidonia and of course reggae greats like Bob Marley and Sizzla Kalonji.
Sure enough, proud locals did not hesitate
