Deejay Sean Paul is shining the light
on Jamaica’s number one export:
its music. Just like dance hall music
took reggae to another level of acceptance
in the late 70’s and 80’s,
the new rude boy fusion of dancehall and
hip hop has topped the charts with unprecedented
success. And no single artist has been
more responsible for this recent acceptance
than Sean Paul. His infectious lyrics
playing over some of the wickedest riddims
have earned this young reggae star the
enviable position of leader in this new
wave of hip-hop-flavoured dancehall music.
Sean’s latest release “Dutty
Rock” is the rising star’s
second album and his first since joining
the Atlantic Record’s roster via
a long-term distribution pact with, industry
pioneer, VP Records. This bona fide platinum
album made him VP Records’ biggest
selling artist to date. Quite an achievement
considering that VP is the largest independent
label for new Jamaican music in the U.S.
Check out the credentials and you’ll
see why the industry is on fire with the
name Sean Paul. “Get Busy”,
his first #1 record on the main singles
chart, is his second consecutive single
to crack the top ten of the ‘Hot
100’. Read Full
