Kranium On His Music Career, Bussin From New York, AfroBeat, Soca, Dancehall Sales | Let's Be Honest 

As a Nigerian watching your podcast, this is my opinion, I feel the dancehall industry are missing the nurturing of talent, that’s one thing afrobeats industry does a lot of, look at artists like Rema & Ayra Starr, they were nurtured by an afrobeats former artist turned record label owner don jazzy, all over the industry their are so many stories like this (also backed up by money) this is one thing they dancehall industry needs to start doing scouting for talent giving them the proper professional training needed in the music industry, I know that Jamaica has the talent out there but it just takes the OG’s in the industry to know when it’s time to pass on the knowledge backed with money 💰 & take a step back themselves for the new talent.

What can I say I love kranium. Great interview as usual

Kranium is talking facts about the numbers game in Dancehall. Pay attention💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Dancehall music has made a decline, too much "gate keepers" too much politics they not focusing on talent

just the style alka collab was a nice song

Great interview kranuim .. you is the definition a know how to speak brother .. big up

This is a great conversation. Kranium will have us looking at dancehall and sales in a whole different light. Lots of knowledge/insight was given.

Me think every artist in the game now, should watch this interview......kranium need to start guide and produce some artist

Man smart yo fuck dawg when him seh most artiste a run the place lol hey bwoy jai you a try play mind games

Shaggy bust frum foreign

The biggest hindrance with dancehall and sales rn is the fact that most of the biggest artistes are indie and when they do sign to a major they don’t do the ground work. Doesn’t make sense you sign if you are not going to put your foot down on the gas pedal.

Oh n him point weh him nah seh is most Jamaican artists act like groupies…like chill…you a star to

Bussing is all so hard hardest thing for a Young artiste get a hit song vershon said it mi sing j fi year's stil don't buss till i stopped and maintain is also hard

Jai you tripping if a Jamaican Artist go copper him a post dat muchless gold lol… With even the diaspora I don’t even think Jamaicans reach 10mil can’t compare numbers with Afro-beat with one country of 30mil providing support.

Facts Yaa talk enuh bro. Pure bbc facts. Jah jah.

👍👍

Jaiii have this narrative about numbers and dancehall him not letting go and refuses to be wrong. I understand he wants dancehall to be on a certain level but him need fi understand seh things take time and times change and will change again. Time and time again him try fi argue with and tell the man dem inna the game how the game run when he’s just a listener. He’s not a producer or shit so why him think him know more so much sometimes? Him same one know say the other genres have much more in them and they are supported more by bigger countries and continents so idk why he’s pushing it like this. While they’re Jamaicans everywhere in the world, majority has the mindset of either supporting more reggae and classic dancehall, even Jamaicans in their high 20s and up mostly prefer old dancehall so the numbers game stuck at music platforms for now. There’s so much more to say why I understand where you coming from but I disagree fam. Jamaica has never and will never be as big as rap/hiphop/r&b and Afro beat gone way a lead now. You probably might make the argument saying Sean Paul or shaggy or whatever to compare to American music but it’s not realistic, and it’s delusional. I understand but. Delusional.

Jaii naav nu sense

Tbh I’ve been listening to Kranium songs for years and never really knew what he looked like 😂😂😂 but he seem to be a humble person , he’s intelligent and he listens 😂😂 who knew

VIBES! 😍😍😍

Re upload ?

This interview is like Vlad and boosie Jamaican style lol. as far as comparison the American market bigger in terms of numbers, status and fanbase so of coarse you won't be seen as bigger. not saying your work better or worst. I think people are judging base on numbers but at the same time when we talk business we have to talk numbers. however, we all should separate musical talent from music business.

BIG UP mi always like the videos nuh too too comment

Nun toxic about this

Big artist this !

me love listen kranium talk
