For dancehall and Jamaica to be represented on US prime time TV with slots on ‘Good Morning America’, ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ and ‘ Wendy Williams’, mere days apart, is being hailed as epic and calls for a ‘catawampus’ celebration, complete with Go Down Deh on repeat.
The dancehall-loving world woke up on Friday morning bursting with pride as Spice, Sean Paul, and Shaggy threw down a smooth, energetic performance on ‘Good Morning America’ that saw the producers tweeting, “Obsessed with this @DiRealShaggy @duttypaul and @spiceofficial performance at our @CaesarsRewards Summer Concert Series!”
This is certainly a huge moment in dancehall music, and definitely for Brand Jamaica, which was well represented by the artistes, the dancers in their Jamaica T-shirts, the backdrop, and the high quality of the production filmed in Jamaica by an entirely Jamaican crew. All this was powered by VP Records, the label which has released the single, and which is at the forefront of the reggae and dancehall worlds with thousands of albums, singles and compilations, and more than 20 Grammy nominations to its credit.
