Wait, what is Raggamuffin?

Raggamuffin, a musical subgenre of reggae. In Jamaican slang, a raggamuffin a hustler who is struggling but who will stay honest to the end and do everything to get by without ever betraying anyone. The equivalent in American English slang is hustler.

Famous producers of this era are jamaican duo producers : Steelie and Clevie ,creator of the legendary riddim ” Dembow “, the father of Reggaeton music genre.

This term originally designates a category of individual but not a musical genre. The Jamaican “raggamuffin” self-produce their records in which they comment on current events, and sell them from town to town. The crowd gathers around the sound system, where the DJ expresses himself on the music of the record offered for sale, in a diction that can sometimes be ultra-fast.

Dancehall has two complementary sub-categories: slackness, with bawdy, even sexist lyrics, and lover, more romantic and peaceful.

Famous raggamuffin singers are :

• Supercat
• Shabba ranks : His song named ” Dembow ” is the birth of Reggaeton Music Genre.
• Beenie man
• Bounty Killer
• Lady Saw
• Mr Vegas
• Baby Cham
• Sean Paul
• Sizzla
• Yellowman and many more
