      The only original and true king of the Dancehall.Any other claim about being King of the dancehall is a lie and outright false statement.Yellowman is and always will be the only king of the dancehall.

    Aah, bless him. I was never fond of the "slackness," he sang about, but have admired his resilience and how he made it against the odds. He overcame all the obstacles placed in his path and used them as stepping stones, to reach his goal. Makes me wonder what is happening to Jamaican youths today, who do not have the life threatening illness Yelloman has to cope with, yet they are throwing away their lives like a rabid dogs.

    Yellowman was in the Goldvibes Studio in the night from 19.06.2005-20.06.2005 after his Concert in the famous Gleis22 in Münster (Germany).
    I was a very nice Session in the small Studio with him. The night was very tropical, I will always remember this. Yellowman is a very nice Person as far as I can say and for sure the King of Dancehall 💛

    Yellowman is indeed the king of Dance hall. I was around to remember it. Great days indeed. It's crazy but Yellowman reminds me of myself how I used to look. We look very similar. But we are different races. We've got that kind of John Denver look about us. No disrespect to yellow. Hope y'all get what I'm saying. Big up to Yellowman the dancehall hero 🙏❤️

    He was doing well, I was very proud of him when he sang over Blue Berry Hill. I beautiful rendition, I must say!
    until he forgot that it was God that saved his life, and helped him when he started singing "Under Me" If you want Jesus, come under me." I knew there and then it was over for him as a dance hall king, as he claimed to be..

    King Yellow have too much big chune fi just pick 1 favorite. Me like Mr Chin, Zungu, I'm Getting Married In The Morning and others. My favorite memory of him is from back in the early 80s when he lived on Harbour Rd in Rockfort. The house, curtains, wall and his BMW were all yellow. It was a joy for me as a yout to regularly see a celebrity in the neighborhood.

    I remember growing up in Trinityville in the 1980’s and being called “yellow” due to my lighter complexion than most people in the area. The color association still persist to this day, as when I visit family in Jamaica they will often refer to me by my complexion instead of my name. So I can empathize with Yellow Man and some of his struggles.
