Combining a seamless multi-octave vocal range with some of the wittiest lyrics in the genre's history, Beenie Man has proven to be one of the most accomplished, versatile, and influential Jamaican dancehall artists of all time. His '95 international debut, Blessed, propelled him to crossover celebrity, leading to collabs with stars like The Neptunes, Wyclef Jean, and Nicki Minaj. Charisma, creativity, and intelligence shine through his biggest hits, reaching a mainstream global audience without losing the distinct sound and elements of dancehall and reggae culture.
