Popcaan Has A Catalogue With Countless Hits.
The right hand man of Vybz Kartel – the man many currently have as the King Of Dancehall. Undeniably, Vybz Kartel’s Gaza Empire is easily one of the greatest crews in Dancehall history. Apart from Spice, Popcaan is the baddest artist to come out of the renowned Gaza crew.
Nevertheless, ultimately, Popcaan should rightfully be considered one of the greatest artists in Dancehall history for one main reason: his catalogue.
The Unruly Boss never wasted the opportunity Vybz Kartel gave him by allowing him to be apart of his Gaza Empire. In return, as the Unruly Boss says in his own words in the video below, Popcaan will forever be grateful to Vybz Kartel for the opportunity that Vybz Kartel gave him.
Consistency, Passion And Dedication – the Keys to Popcaan’s Success
One of the things it’s worth remembering is that the Unruly Boss is a rare gem, that backs up his words with significant action. Again, his catalogue is what sets him apart from other artists in Dancehall. As the Unruly Boss is one of the only artists in Dancehall Music. That has so many hits. That they can come out and perform and have the first 15 minutes – feel like a Dancehall Highlight reel.
Moreover, Popcaan’s ability to perform and keep the hits coming for well over an hour straight is simply exceptional.
Once again, this speaks to the depth and breadth of his rich catalogue that continues to grow by the way. (The Unruly Boss’ latest tune is called Miami). Nevertheless, in addition to his catalogue. Popcaan’s passion for Dancehall deserves a whole heap of credit. As noted before and earlier in this article. Dancehall is personal to the Unruly Boss. In addition to performing hit after hit all night long. Popcaan interacted with fan after fan all night long. Frequently making the heart sign with his hands and engaging with fans non stop.
Importantly, the Unruly Boss never just showed fans love. On the contrary, the Unruly Boss was vocal about it and told fans that he loved them throughout his performance. The short video below, is just one example of this but it is low key, likely a major reason for Popcaan’s success.
The best feeling an artist can likely feel is the genuine love given to them by their fanbase. Popcaan’s love of the music and love of his fanbase is likely The Secret (A la Rhonda Byrne) that explains why and how Popcaan has been able to keep on going on a journey that first began when Andrae Sutherland was merely seven years old.
According to none other than Dancehall Mag, the Unruly Boss has one of the greatest careers in Dancehall History.
Speaking of Dancehall History, Popcaan and Vybz Kartel first linked in 2007. With the Unruly Boss subsequently achieving hits on the Radio like: It Nuh Work So, Jah Jah Protect Me, Hot Grabba and Gangster City. With things reaching a global level for Popcaan when he collaborated with Vybz Kartel in 2010 on the huge hit song Clarks.
Put a different way, Andrae Sutherland has been doing this for decades. Since childhood in fact and all now, Popcaan still has his foot on the gas pedal. To this day, Popcaan is still putting out music regardless of the exceptional level of success that he has already achieved.
When Popcaan sings about working everyday, on tunes like Everyting Is Nice. Those lyrics are for real. Popcaan really does and has, worked hard everyday. Those three simple words should be the ones every Popcaan fan takes away, as a lesson from Popcaan.
For they are a remedy, a motto and a major key, that anyone can apply to their lives to achieve success. No matter whether one comes from the suburbs or a tough inner city ghetto from within Kingston, Jamaica.
No One Else Could Walk In His Clarks
The Unruly One has done what few artists in Dancehall History ever have. For his “troubles” the Unruly Boss has earned himself a catalogue that is priceless and in a place of its own. Another major piece of credit that Andrae Sutherland deserves is how he has achieved all the success he has despite his music having a rougher edge than either Shaggy’s or Sean Paul’s.
Please note, Shaggy and Sean Paul are being referenced here because the topic here is success in Dancehall and both Shaggy (the only Dancehall Artist to go Diamond) and Grammy-Winning Sean Paul both embody this.
Nevertheless, in his own way, Popcaan is the embodiment of Dancehall Success too. The Unruly Boss has in his own way created a legacy of Top Tier Dancehall Music that to this day will sell off, like a pair of must have Clarks.
Big up the Unruly Boss.
