New York-based Dancehall artist Kranium says he has noticed that most of the members of the fraternity who call for unity are only doing so when they’re falling off.

A seemingly irritated Kranium tweeted on Thursday (January 6), “Dancehall is a genre that I genuinely love to my soul!!! But one thing I notice is MOST of the artist dem cry unity when falling off.”

“Unu diss djs, don’t show up to interviews, seh we music promote gun, sex yet everything we learn is from unu..unu shut the fu-k up man,” he added.

Over the last year, there have been separate calls for unity within Dancehall from Spice, Queen Ifrica, Beenie Man, and Mr. Vegas.

Konshens and Charly Black’s recent show of unity in Kenya was celebrated by many within the fraternity, including Spice, who noted that it was “how dancehall is supposed to be”.

Meanwhile, on Wednesday, the Nobody Has To Know singer recalled approaching one unnamed artist to work with him on We Can, before the song eventually went to rapper Tory Lanez.

“Going thru my email and it’s crazy how the artist I wanted on (We Can) that didn’t even have a hit yet didn’t care to try a verse lol I remember calling @frqntflyers like yow it will work…the stories I have in this business is a book long. I’m a real ni–a!” Kranium wrote.

We Can, which was recently certified Gold in Canada, was released in 2017.

Kranium’s last big hit was Gal Policy on the Soul Survivor Riddim (2020).  The song was later added to his Toxic EP.
