Music: dancehall, the Documentary, Prelude

So, waaaaay back in 2009, before social media and instant sharing became the rage, I wrapped up this project. Yes, I know, there's no sign of Popcaan, Tommy Lee, Dexta Daps or any of today's "stars" but as this seies wears on I'll be covering those who, in my opinion (always, never subsidized) really mattered. Take a hop and a skip down "memory lane"
