It is a sad day for the dancehall community and Jamaica at large following the death of one of its legendary artists, Louie Rankin. His family announced of his passing this morning. The Grammy award winner was involved in a car crash in Canada that involved a truck.

He was popurlarly known for his hit songs such as Typewriter (1992), Stretch out and many more. He was ‘the original don dada’ trail blazer. Besides his music, he was also well known for his movie roles such as in ‘Belly’.
