Mykal Rose returns to the conversation with “Who Is The King Of
The Dancehall, ” a title that lands like a challenge and a wink at
the same time. The track pairs him with Holabazzito and keeps the
subject squarely on status, legacy, and who gets to wear the crown
in a music where that argument never really ends. It moves with a
sturdy, skanking pulse and a rootsy dancehall feel rather than
anything glossy or trap-heavy, leaving room for Rose’s weathered
phrasing to carry the weight.
Rose is one of the genre’s elder statesmen,
best known as the former lead singer of Black Uhuru before building
a long solo run under the Mykal Rose name. His voice still has that
militant edge that made him a key figure in roots reggae and early
dancehall, and here that history gives the song extra bite.
Holabazzito adds a newer-school presence to the cut, giving the
record a cross-generational angle that suits the subject
matter.
One Tree Records handles the production,
keeping the arrangement lean and direct. The label’s catalogue has
long moved between community-minded reggae and sound-system-ready
singles, and this release sits naturally in that lane. As a 2026
drop, it arrives as a pointed dancehall statement rather than
nostalgia, using a familiar crown debate to frame a fresh
collaboration.
