The “Queen of Dancehall”, Spice, innovative and top streaming dancehall artists Skeng, Valiant, and the rising star Kraff have been announced to perform. More electrifying artists are set to be announced in the first week of Dec. Nicki Minaj has said of Skeng, “No one is a bigger fan than me!” while Spice has collaborated with major artists such as Minaj, Missy Elliott, Busta Rhymes, and more.
