Is Toronto Dancehall Moving Too Unprofessional?
Why does Toronto dancehall struggle to get the international ratings it deserves? In this clip, we break down the gatekeeping in the dancehall scene, the politics of cutting dub plates, and how foreign sound systems exploit local Canadian artists to use them against their own community.
From legacy names like Blessed, Sample King, and Eyesus to the cultural disconnect between Jamaica, New York, and Canada—we dive deep into the “war strategy” needed to fix the Toronto music industry. Is a lack of professionalism holding local artists back, or do we just need to start gatekeeping our own culture? Drop your thoughts in the comments!
