About the book

With the emergence of Dancehall music on the world scene, the language which accompanies it has gained wide exposure. Many who hear and sometimes use these words may not be fully aware of their meanings. Now, a learned source records his deep understanding of the expressions, providing their English equivalents and very often their usage in context. Including a history of the Dancehall scene and a brief guide to Jamaican patois, this dictionary will prove a revelation of Dancehall culture for the uninitiated. Illustrated.
