Jagwa has stepped out of the shadows and into the spotlight with new “Chinese Food” single
For decades, the reggae genre has survived on the shoulders of legendary acts the likes of Elephant Man, Shabba Ranks, Bounty Killer and many more. Although each have a unique nature to delivering their music, it is a common practice for a ghostwriter to finesse their words. Vernon Spencer, better known as JAGWA, was the man to call for a Reggae hit record. With an impressive resume of songwriting credits, it was always understood that it was only a matter of time before he would step out of the shadows and into the spotlight.
After joining Bounty Killer and The Alliance Family, Jagwa went through a crash course in sonic development. In 2016, Jagwa hit the world with an intellectual metaphor in the form of a song titled Chinese Food. Jagwa draws parallels from his music to that of the perceptions about American Chinese Food. Many assume that American Chinese food is similar to traditional Chinese cuisine. Although the food served at an American Chinese take-out restaurant is called Chinese food, in actuality it is not what is accepted in Chinese culinary. In much the same way, Jagwa’s music is not necessary the prototypical sound for Reggae or Dance-Hall for that matter. The assumption given his prowess is that he will remain boxed, but hat is far from the case.
A versatile artist, Jagwa has collaborated with Owen “IBEZ” Davidson of the powerhouse label Collegeboiz Productions, Chinese Food has received over 1 million views during its first week on World Star Hip Hop. The remix featuring Style P saw similar success with over 1 million views on Youtube and Vevo in less than a month. With Jagwa’s video continuing to gain traction, some of Hip-Hop’s heavy hitters have begun reaching out to the Kingston native.
Later this month, Jagwa will be releasing his new single titled I know. The song features Memphis-born Hip-hop artist Project Pat of Three 6 Mafia fame. The song digs into the shady nature of the music industry as well as fake friends.
