Valiant - BreakOut Dancehall artiste 2022
Why do the songs with the worst messages sound so good? Is it that we have been programmed to like such tunes? That’s how I feel when I listen to Valiant; a dancehall artiste that recently got his buss from a video of him saying “Kotch eh hat a lie, rich a lie”, while on a video shoot. Literally that’s all it took for soon to be fans to seek him out from the clip that went viral. When it’s your time it’s your time. His feet 👣 were already holding the door as Valiant used to be a member of Popcaan’s Unruly Gang, not sure what happened to that.
I have been listing to Valiant’s songs and I must say he has a unique sound full of melody and vibes but damn the scamming content is overloaded. But I see where he is coming from. Without songs like this, no one would pay him any attention for a long time and the mind set of the youths is, there is no time to to waste especially in a highly competitive field like Dancehall.
His latest video called “Dunce cheque” is a scammer anthem and the video will definitely make a few students think about what they are doing with their lives when valiant states “money a di subject”. The video takes the theme of young rich badness students pulling up to school in luxury vehicles with the young ladies dressed in “dancehall uniforms”. So I guess all the students made money from scamming and still decided to show up to school to braff ( show off).
Valiant - Dunce Cheque
It’s crazy how one dancehall song 6 years ago; [Scammer dem deh yah] by XKlusive, literally started a sub genre of Dancehall music now called trap dancehall in which a majority of the songs are about scamming. Another trend that is taking flight within this sub genre is the blatant talks of one visiting “the modda women” to get charged up ( getting powers from the voodoo mother. It’s like how rappers were talking about crack in the 80s and 90s and even today, it seems trap dancehall with lottery scamming at its core is the new menace to society in Jamaica but it has a cool appeal to that is sure to get many vulnerable and desperate minds involved and these songs aren’t helping.
Science - Valiant
Sciance means voodoo and giant means rich person
It’s just so fucking crazy to think that scamming has become a genre but it also goes to show the state Jamaica is in and what is really going on in the island as dancehall reflects the streets for better or for worse. Not all artiste that sing about this lifestyle live it but they see it and many I believe are using it as a means to and end. What is that end ? To bring attention to their music. But at what cost? Here is Valiant’s more conscious tunes which of course has less views than the scammer anthems above. But the blessings would have come eventually, without the scammer songs, it may have taken longer but with his voice and lyrical skills it would only have been a matter of time.

Truth is, in this generation, a lot of people tend to pay more attention on evil or negative things and pay less attention to those with good and inspirational messages.
Only when they are dare trouble or in need of help will they remember those ones with positive vibes.
Very true! It all seems cool and attractive. Hahaha yes only when times a rough they find the tunes with a message. A lot artiste thrive with tunes with a message but I think it takes more effort to create that balance that catches the ear and has that positivity. It's easier for an. artiste to create burger and fries rather than soul food.
Yeah! Those with good vibes are less appreciated when compared with those with bad message. A lot of peole who had good message have switched to the one with bad vibes in order to trend. Those are the kind that are impatient but want to make it as soon as possible.
My true legend still remains Lucky Dube. His message never dies.
That's an interesting analogy.

Hey, still need to catch up on messages, because of some changes in our lives.
Happy Holidays to you and your family! ❄️
That's true though. Know of some hardcore bad man who have converted because of finding themselves in a dark place and finally meeting the Most High in times of need.

STOPCheck out the last post from @hivebuzz:
That was exactly what I was thinking when I listened to the last song and the tone is definitely different and a song I could start my day with.
But I understand the appeal of the songs highlighting bad behavior, because of the dance vibe and rhythm of those songs. Same with a song called "Miss bangarang" (loosely translated: miss hoe/prostitute) by an artist who has left us way too early (in his mid 30's) where he sings how her body is sexy and sensual and that she has all the men in her fingers and "controlling the world". I've just realized this song came out way before Beyonce's "We Run The World" although Queen B didn't want to put the message out because of "her body" she controls the world though. Well that's a discussion for another day 😅.
But then there are also those musicians who write positive songs cleverly and with funy line, while still being catchy. I'll have to write about those artists coming days 😅.
Miss Banggarang, was searching for it but I few came up, even an artiste of the same name 😂.
Indeed the beats of these songs are really addictive and sometimes people don’t even realize the message they are dancing too. I can just imagine how some of these songs hit the soul in the clubs with big speakers liquor.
Please do , I need to do the same and show case more of those but I have a thing for the dancehall hardcore ( bugiyagi as the grannys would call it ) 😂
I don't know if you've listened to the song, because I didn't include it directly in the post about Papa Touwtjie, but here's the song on YouTube:
