The first album release for Sean Paul in 2021 has arrived. The Dancehall icon previously shared with us that Live N Livin would be his first drop-off of the year, and he described the project as a “mixture and a mood of who I am and how I feel right now.” On Live N Livin, we hear Sean Paul thriving in his Dancehall element as he calls on several artists to help him complete the record. Features on the project include looks from Buju Banton, Sotto Bless, Looga Man, Ras Ajai, Chi Ching Ching, Busy Signal, Suku Ward, Intence, Left Side, Jr. Gong, Govana, Serani, Jesse Royal, Mutabaruka, Stonebwoy, Squash, Mavado, Agent Sasco, and Masicka Skillibeng.
During our recent interview with Sean Paul, he explained that he wanted to show the world that Dancehall isn’t dead, and in fact, has a “live and living” pulse in the industry. “Pop people have used it, the Biebers and the Drakes and the Rihannas. And you know what? I salute all of that, even Ed Sheeran,” Paul told us exclusively.
“In fact, the backbeats for a lot of you guys’ songs lately have been very Dancehall-oriented,” he continued. “That being said, I’m very proud of the genre and I just kinda wanted this one to show the new sound in Dancehall, some of the new artists, and also some of the greats in producing…and also just being an artist on the album.”
