The ‘Get Busy’ singer’s latest studio album was 2022’s ‘Scorcha’. In a four-star review of the LP, NME shared: “If Beenie Man is considered the King of dancehall, then Sean Paul should be respected as the Godfather. Since his inception in 2000, he has made dancehall accessible to all, climbing up the charts internationally with seminal hits like ‘Gimme The Light’ and the aforementioned ‘Get Busy’. And with ‘Scorcha’, he proves his hitmaking skills and why he still is the pioneer of island pop.”
Speaking to NME backstage ahead of his Wireless set earlier this summer, Paul opened up about how he has no plans to retire any time soon. “No, man, mi nah retire ’til mi dead like a tyre, trust me na’ man”.
However, Paul did reveal that – while being “an elder statesman” – “it does get harder to be jumping up” on stage, but he believes it keeps him “youthful”. ”I read a thing that if you go to two concerts or two festivals every month, you gon’ gain nine years on your life – so, I’m gon’ live forever!,” he shared.
In other news, Ashanti recently welcomed her first baby with rapper Nelly. A representative for both artists confirmed that they had welcomed a baby boy by the name of Kareem Kenkaide Haynes. They also shared that he was born on July 18 and wrote that the couple were “proud and happy parents” and “are so in love with KK!”
