"Bad man" songs or gun songs are a part of the culture. Yes, art imitates life! However, many argue that some of our artists are taking the 'badness' way too far. What about social responsibility? Are artists releasing music solely for monitory gains, meanwhile the effects are detrimental to society. What about the fans? Join us on this spirited discussion as the the Reggae Talk team digs into both sides of the coin! We call ourselves the "Voice of Reason for a Reason" ! ;)----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Hosts: @reggaemusicforever @akafareal @iam_vmonroe (IG)-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Cool Reminder: Our 1 Year Anniversary event is on SAT.

On Episode 9 of Reggae Talk Podcast, the team digs into the underlying issues that are plaguing Jamaican music, specifically Dancehall. Though our music is powerful and has influenced a multitude of diasporic genres and pop culture, the Jamaican music industry continues to struggle or remain stagnant. As Vybz Kartel once said, the main element we're lacking is the INDUSTRY. What is preventing the Jamaican music industry from seeing the growth we've experienced in the past, meanwhile other diasporic industries are rising?

On Episode 8 of Reggae Talk Podcast, the team digs into the ‘sharing culture’ that has formulated across social media. Why do people share content? Why don’t people share content? Everyone wants their content to be shared, but are YOU sharing other people’s content? Do you share your friend's business or whatever they’re promoting on social media? Be sure to check out this episode, since we can all relate! Be sure to check out our hosts on IG : @reggaemusicforever @akafareal & @iam_vmonroe. Also, be sure to check out @reggaetalk IG.

On Episode 7 of ReggaeTalk Podcast, hosts @reggaemusicforever & @akafareal are joined by accomplished producers LMR Pro – most notably known for Kranium’s “Nobody Has to Know” smash hit & Trilogy –most notably known for his work (“I Love Her”) on Chris Brown’s multi-platinum selling “Heartbreak on a Full Moon” album, along with Uncle Murda feat. 50 cent, 6ix9, & Casanova’s “Get the Strap.” Both producers just happen to be Jamaican, but have conflicting views on the SOUND of Jamaican music as it relates to the shift the culture has taken in recent years. What has caused the shift in the sound? Why isn’t Jamaican Dancehall music crossing over like one time? You don’t want to miss this spirited conversation!

In Episode 4 of #ReggaeTalk, the team digs into the current generation gap issues that are evident in Jamaican music/culture. Your parent’s Dancehall/Reggae is clearly not yours. Your taste in music is generally not the same as theirs. “The only constant in life is change” (Heraclitus). Change makes us uncomfortable, but it’s inevitable, since many do not want to accept how things are NOW (as it relates to the Dancehall/Reggae culture), meanwhile many of the new generation artists/fans find it hard to validate what came before their time, simply because they weren’t around for the experience❗Are you having generation gaps issues?

In Episode 2 of the @ReggaeTalk Podcast, the team digs DEEP into the rise of the Non-Jamaican Reggae artist. The world is clearly not depending on Jamaica for their Reggae/Roots fix like they used to! Non-Jamaicans are NOW making their own version of Reggae music & they're doing quite well vs. their Jamaican counterparts. Look no further than the Billboard Reggae chart, which is usually dominated by Non-Jamaicans, not to mention the annual Grammy nominations. Why are they dominating the charts? What are Jamaican artists not doing? What are the implications on the Jamaican Reggae industry? What went wrong in Jamaica? is the playing field level for Jamaican artists?

REGGAE TALK EPISODE 01
When it comes to buzz surrounding an artist, social media has become the new "streets" where fans convene to share their thoughts about anything under the sun. Conveniently, the new streets is not in its physical form, but behind keyboards & smartphones! On the first episode of @reggaetalk, @reggaemusicforever & @akafareal highlights the ill effects of social media when it comes to Reggae/Dancehall. Has social media enhanced or cultivated hatred among Dancehall artists, fans & disc jocks?
