Whazzup peeeps today is another Funky Fresh Friday and mad people we bring you something very fresh funky and full of vibes. A true snapshot of the power of dancehall culture. The sound clash culture born in Jamaica in the sixties has evolved and developed from the early days of Coxsone Dodd, Bunny Striker Lee etc through Stone Love and now Ricky Trooper, Tony Matterhorn and Pink Panther. The sound clash culture has also exploded overseas with sounds like Mighty Crown (Japan) and Boy Better Know becoming the dominant force in the UK sound bwoy clashes.
