"We choose dancehall music because we were inspired by the different dancehall artists and we still take it as a God given art . We also look forward to create our own empire called pirate empire in aid of helping the orphans and the young people whom we share the same life. In spite of us working so hard in music on the other side we are still putting more effort in education . Our aim is to lift Kenyan music and promote the industry. We also inspire those with talents and tell them to shine and if we all do that then Kenya will take over the music industry."

THE TWO HEROES HAD TO DESCRIBE WHERE THEY GOT THE GENRE
Dancehall is a genre of Jamaican popular music that originated in the late 1970s.^[2] Initially dancehall was a more sparse version of reggae than the roots style, which had dominated much of the 1970s.^[3][4] Two of the biggest stars of the early dancehall era were Yellowman and Eek-a-Mouse. Dancehall brought a new generation of producers, including Linval Thompson, Gussie Clarke and Jah Thomas.^[5] In the mid-1980s, digital instrumentation became more prevalent, changing the sound considerably, with digital dancehall (or "ragga") becoming increasingly characterized by faster rhythms. (The word "bashment", a term originating in the 1990s, was used to describe a particularly good dance; for example "to go to a bashment dance". In the Dancehall vernacular, "bashment" is therefore an adjective instead of a noun.)
Chaka Demus and Pliers were the first dancehall megahits in the US and abroad. Other varieties of dancehall achieved crossover success outside of Jamaica during the mid-to-late 1990s. After the popularizing of Buju Banton's dancehall song "Boom Bye Bye" in the early 1990s, dancehall music came under criticism over anti-gay lyrics in a few songs. The early 2000s saw the success of newer charting acts such as Rihanna, Elephant Man and Sean Paul. Dancehall made a resurgence within the pop market in the late 2000s, with songs by Konshens, Busy Signal, Mr. Vegas, Alkaline, Mavado, Vybz Kartel, Beenie Man among others. Vybz kartel who is popularly known as the "worldboss" has dominated most of the music as the front runner in the 2000s.
