Kush Hour TV x Stefflon Don

🎈🖖🏾😊 Hey Kush Fam🎈🎈🎈We're higher than these red balloons right now...!!!🎈🎈🎈#JAH LOVE & Praises to the Most High! We have one of the most beautiful women in music right now...Stefflon Don...and she's bringing it! With an unmistakable Jamaica-via-London inflection, the MC and singer whose music was described by Fader Magazine as defiant and unpredictable with a blend of influences "can switch between a rap beat and a grime beat as easily as she moves between her London accent and patois.”

🎈Born Stephanie Allen, in the industrial British city of Birmingham to Jamaican parents, she grew up surrounded by the reggae her dad would play in the house. When she was a small child, the family moved to the Netherlands, where she also began listening to a lot of “bubbling.” Bubbling is a Dutch sub-genre of dancehall, invented in 1988 when reggae and dub DJ Moortje played a dancehall record at a higher speed, that remains widely popular in the Netherlands. At 14, she moved again, this time to London, where grime was gripping the city. At first, she remembers her “messed up accent” and her fluency in Dutch setting her apart from the other kids. Eventually, she says, “I discovered my swagger.”
