Ok forget the greatest female MC, one of the greatest MC’s period. Easily flowing from R&B angel to Dancehall assassin, Ms Dynamite is one of the most talented people of our decade. Her ability to release her harsh sounds with dancehall-esque precision or switch up to a gentle chorus and bridge shows just how comfortable [...]
