    Dancehall particularly this beat cook up is very rnb leaning. Adding the effects I guess makes it dancehall but the overall sound not so much. I think genres have borrowed from each other and the same can be said for Afro beat and rnb. The lines are being blurred somewhat in my opinion. Always love seeing cook ups I hope to to see more pure dancehall in the future. Bless

    • @876Plug
      @876Plug หลายเดือนก่อน

      This is actually dancehall not rnb, Hiphop came from dancehall and modern day Afro beat came from dancehall, that’s why they call it Afro dancehall, this type of sound you heard in rnb came from the Caribbean, Rnb back then was more soft tone not much bounce to the beats and not these type of sounds, don’t believe me go back and listen an old RKelly song or any other old rnb..

    Wow... I met you in the music production section of Guitar Center in Miramar/Hallandale Florida, maybe in 2007, after reading up on you being a music producer when I was in Jamaica. I just heard you say the name McGregor when you were up at the cashier, and I walked up to you and asked you if you were a music producer. When you said yes, that's when I stepped back and said, "You're Freddie McGregor's son." I bet you remember that. I'd bet good money.
    Now I'm seeing you using exactly the same DAW that I use! That's super cool ❤
