Upful Vibes. is a fun and free-styled, Podcast focussed on music, music business, television, books, news and current affairs. New Episodes drop every week!
In this episode of Upful Vibes, we dive deep into the "clinical" side of football and the "soulful" side of Reggae production.
First, we break down how LAFC provided a tactical masterclass in their 3–0 win over Inter Miami, proving that a disciplined system can turn a global icon like Lionel Messi into a solvable puzzle. On the flip side, we look at the "toxic" state of Tottenham Hotspur—sitting in 14th place with an empty trophy cabinet, is a Championship tour actually their best bet for silverware?
We wrap things up on a high note with an exclusive look at Jahmi Roc’s new single, "Sweet Like Mango." Produced by Dale "Dizzle" Virgo, we discuss the track's "Becca" riddim and Jahmi’s ambitious one-song-per-month strategy for 2026.
In this episode:
The Messi Blueprint: How structure beats individual stardom.
The Spurs Spiral: Why North London is feeling the heat.
Island Warmth: Analyzing the intellectual connection in "Sweet Like Mango."

Beenie Man vs. Vybz Kartel: Who Is the King of Dancehall?
In this episode of Upful Vibes, we dive into one of the most debated questions in dancehall history: Who truly holds the title of King of Dancehall?
Is kingship defined by decades of consistency, global representation, and cultural stewardship? Or does the crown belong to the artist who shapes the sound, slang, and direction of modern dancehall?
We break down the contrasting philosophies behind longevity versus influence, revisit the mentorship era that once connected these two giants, and examine the moments that shifted respect into rivalry — including the controversy that symbolized their fracture.
Beyond the artists themselves, this episode explores a deeper generational divide within dancehall culture. Do purists value endurance and foundation, while younger fans prioritize dominance and cultural impact?
Rather than declaring a winner, we unpack the idea of dual sovereignty — suggesting that dancehall may operate under generational kingship, where legacy and influence represent different forms of power.
This is not gossip. This is cultural analysis.

Ce’Cile, Mentorship & the Missing Hardcore Voice
Ce’Cile is back with “Baddest Love” — but this isn’t just a comeback record. In this episode, we break down how Ce’Cile is using her return to push a bigger mission: rebuilding the hardcore female deejay lane in modern dancehall.
We explore what “hardcore” really means in this context (mic presence, grit, command, clash energy), why that sound has become rare among women in today’s scene, and how her RBN mentorship search is a strategic move to protect the culture while making it future-ready.
If you care about dancehall’s legacy and where it’s heading next, this one’s for you.
