New beefs are heating up an already hot summer in dancehall music:
Jamaican artists Mavado & Popcaan started arguing last month with two diss songs at each other.
Their beef dragged in also recording artist Demarco, which Mavado dissed for his long friendship and loyalty with Kartel & Gaza.
Since Demarco got dragged into it, called in by Mavado, the result of this lyrical war are several dancehall war songs among the recording artists involved in the new argument.
Which brings some salt back in a scene that was starting getting a little watered away in love and party songs, but don’t you worry, the clash in Jamaican dancehall music is back on.
Let’s go in order. Popcaan recorded a couple of songs with Mavado like ‘Lighters Up’ with Snoop Dog, things were cool back then, but in the latest months all of a sudden, Popcaan released the track World Cup, which quickly became a nuclear smashing hit of the summer and things went quickly sour between Unruly Popcaan and Gully God Mavado.
In the track World Cup – Poppi takes some subliminal shots at the Gully God when he goes
“Me no know bout league cuz me name world cup / And nuff a them no like how we hotter than thermos / me see it say them don’t like when ghetto youths shell the world up / what them ago do now when the Benz pick them girl up,”
( Popcaan World Cup Lyrics )

Mavado replied with Go Fi Dem.
“A wa do you likkle chicken / You think mi war finger licking / Is a gyal mi use trick him / When time shi hug up and a kiss him / Anyweh wi aim, deh suh shot a kick him / Freak bwoy a you face gyal a sit in / Yeah the fire hot in a the kitchen / Shoot dem fi 3 life pippin,” Mavado sings over the Summer Beach Riddim.
