Skippa says collaboration can take Dancehall global

During a recent interview on the Let’s Be Honest podcast with Jai Frais, entertainer Skippa shared his vision for the future of Dancehall. He believes the genre could reach the same global success as Afrobeats if artists focused more on collaboration rather than clashes.

Skippa pointed out that while clashes have historically helped many artists gain recognition, the current music climate has changed. Fans today may not have the same appetite for clashes as they did in the past. Instead, he suggests that when artists work together and move as a collective, it can elevate the genre.

The entertainer’s comments have sparked conversation online, with many agreeing that collaboration could open doors for more opportunities and stronger global visibility for Dancehall. Skippa’s perspective challenges the traditional approach but highlights the potential for growth if artists unite rather than compete.
