Follow us on S ocials: Facebook and Instagram When 18‑year‑old Ghanaian student Nana Agyei left home to pursue his education in Europe, he carried the dreams of a young man determined to build a future far brighter than his beginnings. Today, those dreams have been violently interrupted, and the circumstances surrounding his death remain clouded by contradictions, silence, and a disturbing lack of transparency. No parent sends their child to school expecting to receive them back like this. Latvian authorities reported that Nana fell from a fifth‑floor window, suggesting an accident or possible suicide. But the more details emerge, the more this explanation collapses. Nana had reportedly been bullied for months. Just three days before his death, he was allegedly poisoned — a claim supported by a doctor’s report his family released publicly. He was hospitalised, destabilised, and discharged the same day. Within 24 hours, he was dead. Tiktok News Reporter Dylan Pag...
Notnice Signs Artist: S’RIAH Is Here—And She’s Not Human. Welcome to Dancehall 2.0
Jamaican dancehall producer Ainsley “Notnice” Morris, known for shaping the sound of Vybz Kartel, Popcaan and Spice, has just made a seismic move: signing an AI artist named S’RIAH. Yes, you read that right—artificial intelligence is now officially part of the dancehall roster.
With AI-generated tracks already surfacing online, this isn’t just a tech gimmick—it’s a bold statement. Producers like Notnice, who’ve built empires off raw talent and street-born riddims, are now experimenting with digital voices and synthetic creativity. The question is no longer “if” AI belongs in music—it’s “how deep will it go?”
Another AI artist making waves is Xania Monet, whose emotionally charged single “How Was I Supposed to Know” has struck a chord with listeners worldwide. Blending soulful vocals with themes of heartbreak and self-discovery, the track has racked up over 46,000 streams across platforms in just days.

The song’s viral momentum proves that AI-generated music isn’t just a novelty—it’s resonating. As S’RIAH enters the dancehall scene, Xania Monet’s success in R&B and pop shows that AI artists are already crossing genres and capturing hearts. The question now is: are they here to stay, or just passing through the hype cycle?
For real-life artists, especially in dancehall and reggae, this raises serious alarms. Will AI become the go-to for producers seeking fast, drama-free output? No missed studio sessions. No egos. No contracts to renegotiate. Just code, rhythm, and instant delivery.

That’s a seductive proposition in an industry where time is money and vibes are volatile. But it also threatens the soul of the genre. Dancehall was born from struggle, rebellion, and lived experience. Can an algorithm ever truly “feel” the pain behind a lyric or the fire in a freestyle? If AI artists like S’RIAH start charting, what happens to the youth in Waterhouse, Trench Town, or Spanish Town still dreaming of bussing?
This isn’t just a shift—it’s a cultural crossroads. Reggae and dancehall have always been about voice: the voice of resistance, the voice of the streets, the voice of the people. If that voice becomes synthetic, are we silencing the very communities these genres were built to uplift? Or are we expanding the definition of artistry to include digital consciousness? Either way, Notnice’s move has cracked open a debate that every artist, producer, and fan needs to weigh in on. Is this innovation—or invasion? Let the comments fly.
