Words by Jesse Serwer—

Popcaan and Mavado are billed as featured artists on the latest Snoop Lion single “Lighters Up,” but astute listeners will note an un-billed Jahdan Blakkamoore figures just as prominently as either dancehall star, or Snoop himself for that matter. And Blakkamoore isn’t just “on the song,” he’s the co-writer on “Lighters Up” and several other tracks from the upcoming Snoop Lion album, Reincarnated. What better time to get reacquainted with the Brooklyn-based, Guyana-born vocalist of Smif-n-Wessun’s “Sound Bwoy Bureill” and Noble Society fame, then?
