Unpopular opinion: We shouldn't let whatever biases some of us may have against dancehall take away from the fact that Freedom Street was a major cultural moment for us and Brand Jamaica. Things like this and Lost in Time need to be more celebrated.
@ellatheear 1. Trust the process
2. do the work
3. network with your peers
4. guard your mind, body, & spirit
5. Be yourself, even if they don’t like you, just be yourself.
I’m a Stan for artists such as @jonswaii because I’ve witnessed the journey they’ve shared and I’m excited for the day they win.
As an artist, you must want it, if not, do it for your soul. Never. Give. Up. Just pivot.
It’s crazy how when some artist reach a certain level, they show who they truly are. I support the talent but the messaging have become so blatant, you can’t unsee it.
