Reggae musician and radio presenter Blakk Rasta recently shared his thoughts on the declining popularity of Stonebwoy’s latest track, “Jejereje,” just one week after its release.
In an interview with Roselyn Felli on Joy Prime TV, Blakk Rasta expressed his belief that many contemporary artists prioritize following trends over creating meaningful and enduring music.
While he emphasized his respect for Stonebwoy, Blakk Rasta used “Jejereje” as an example of a song that initially garnered attention but quickly faded away. He reflected on his excitement for the track, stating, “I loved the song… After one week, ‘Jejereje’ has gone to sleep,” highlighting its brief moment of popularity.
Blakk Rasta contrasted this trend-driven approach with the work of reggae legend Lucky Dube, whom he commended for consistently delivering powerful messages in his music without focusing on producing hits. He noted that Lucky Dube’s songs often gained popularity because listeners connected with their deeper meanings rather than them being crafted to fit current trends.
He quoted Lucky Dube, saying, “I never went into the studio to make hits. I went into the studio to speak into the microphone, and if the songs come out and they become hits because people resonate with the message, then it’s a different thing.”
