Elephant Man’s music is fun. Not only is the music enjoyable to listen to, but Elephant Man has fun with his music. Usually not too serious, it has some form of gimmick, and it’s packed with energy.

As promised a podcast committed to 1980's Dancehall. Many of the tunes are accompanied by artiste interviews, most of which were recorded in the 1980's. A couple are a bit poor in quality, but that much more precious. This is one of my favorite periods of Jamaican music and we hope you enjoy it! *There's more where this came from!
