The current state of the local music scene, particularly in the realm of dancehall, is marked by an apparent surge in conflicts and feuds among artists. Notably, figures like Jada Kingdom and Stefflon Don have been at the center of attention, leveraging crude lyrical exchanges to generate increased streaming and moving units on various digital platforms.
In response to this trend, Rastafarian crooner Bugle injected a touch of humour into the situation. Through his official Instagram account, he posed a reflective question on Thursday, stating,
“A wonder if mi need fi say supm negative bout Spragga so we can go at it for a few days and sell some records, since we both putting out albums this year. Caz it look like this is the new way of selling music.”
The post elicited a range of reactions, with many responses adorned with laughing emojis. Despite the mixed reviews, the prevailing sentiment was that artists of Bugle and Spragga’s caliber don’t need to resort to such tactics, as their inherent talent should speak for itself. One commenter expressed this sentiment, stating, “??? no need for that king! Real recognize Real,” while another affirmed, “Good #music speak for itself bro ???.”
Amidst this backdrop of discord, Bugle, along with Grammy-nominated singer “Chaps” (Olaf Blackwood), remains focused on the music. Their latest collaborative effort, ‘Heart Too Clean,’ continues to enjoy premium rotation across the diaspora. Released last Friday, accompanied by an official music video, the track stands as a testament to authenticity and musical purity, transcending conflicts, genre and geographical boundaries.
