While Tommy Lee might be the first (or last, depending on your viewpoint) of the current crop of Jamaican artists you’d think of to invite to a Halloween party, Demarco lewould have to get one too. While his music tends to the pop-y side of dancehall, he scored a hit with “Duppy Know Who Fi Frighten” on the Shootout riddim in 2007, and later followed with “Duppy Haffi Mek.” Honorebel mention to Busy Signal too, for voicing the equally scary “No Escape” on this fright night of a riddim.
