BUSY SIGNAL – THE “UNKNOWN NUMBER” RAP
11 Mar 2010 by Seth Rotherham in Music, Quality Humour, Very Cool, Video
This article and song is dedicated to all the people out there who have joined the movement to never answer unknown or private numbers on our cellphones.
Ok check it out – have you heard bout the rapper by the name of Busy Signal? Absolutely no problem if you haven’t. Grab a seat and let me tell you:
Reanno Gordon, better known by his stage name, Busy Signal, is an artist from St Ann, Jamaica. He has also lived in Tivoli Gardens, Papine, Spanish Town and other areas in West and East Kingston Jamaica and is a past student of Brown’s Town Comprehensive High School. Known as one of the artists leading the contemporary Dancehall movement, Busy Signal has been a large part of the scene since 2003.
He was nicknamed Busy Signal by his friends because of the fact that he is constantly busy. .
As you can imagine, the following song of his is my favourite “track” :
