It is impossible to have a credible discussion about Hip Hop in Jamaica without mentioning Five
Steez. Although the country isn't a hot spot for Hip Hop talent, the underground Kingston MC has
graced international festivals and has been acknowledged by Earmilk, Okayplayer and The FADER.
Reminiscent of the golden era, with a new twist, a common man’s perspective and an unheard
Jamaican narrative, Five Steez’ music has been described by critics as ‘poignant’ and ‘soulful’, with
lyricism full of imagery, storytelling and wit.
