In this weeks unfiltered episode, we go back into a conversation that has been simmering for a while but has now erupted with Buju Banton’s recent remarks on Afrobeats during his interview with Revolt TV’s Drink Champs. Buju’s critique reignites a crucial debate: Is Afrobeats becoming the dominant Black musical art form at the expense of Reggae and Dancehall’s core mission to uplift and liberate?


We revisit our earlier discussion on how and why Reggae and Dancehall lost their global influence, analysing whether it was due to losing their identity or failing to evolve. We’ll also explore the shift in Black music culture, the current impact of Afrobeats, and the complex dynamics between commercialisation and conscious artistry. Is Buju simply hating, or does he make valid points about the depth and purpose of today’s music? Tune in as we break it down from A to Z.
