This episode encompasses the negative influence dancehall lyrics has on one's gender and sexuality. This podcast has the views of a dancehall artist and the views of a cultural and dancehall analyst. Listeners will be able to tell the difference between gender and sexuality and how they also co-relate and they will also understand unjust rules it promotes around gender and sexuality. Listeners will also be able to relate and see examples during their everyday lives on the negative influence of dancehall lyrics in society.
