WHAT IT IS: Shenseea, who dropped her Vybz Kartel-assisted debut single, “Loodi,” in 2016, is renowned for her slick-tongued patois rhymes and energetic pop hits. Joining Rich Immigrants/Interscope in 2019, she became the first Jamaican artist to sign with a major label in recent years. Her label debut, “Blessed” f/Tyga, preceded her debut album, ALPHA, in 2022. Featuring heavyweights like Megan Thee Stallion, 21 Savage, Tyga, Sean Paul and Offset, the set debuted at #2 on the Reggae chart and demonstrated her ability to seamlessly blend R&B, pop, reggae, dancehall and rap.
