👑 Papa San: Dancehall's Lost King — The Real Story

By the early 1990s, Papa San wasn't just one of dancehall's biggest stars—he looked destined to become its first true international crossover artist. Working at Pow Wow Records, I watched it happen from the inside. Two Billboard #1 dance records. MTV. A label deal. The momentum was real. Then... everything stopped. Looking back, dancehall had arrived at a crossroads. The road it took changed the music forever. Was this the day dancehall died? You decide. 🎙️ Rootsland is hosted by Billboard-charting producer Henry K, who spent nearly three decades living and recording in Jamaica with many of reggae's greatest artists.
