Sizzla

Dancehall
DancehallReggae

Sizzla is a Dancehall and Reggae act. Their sound grew out of Lady G, Sugar Minott, Junior Kelly, Bongo Herman and Lutan Fyah. Those roots explain a lot about how Sizzla arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Beres Hammond, Garnett Silk, Junior Kelly, Beenie Man and Gregory Isaacs, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Etana, Gyptian, Jah Cure, Rihanna and Capleton, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 44 connections around Sizzla, reaching back through Lady G and forward to Etana.
