If you set foot in any club in the early 2000s, then you know how big a deal Sean Paul's music was and continues to be to this day. Smash hits like Get Busy, Gimme the Light and Temperature helped propel the dancehall genre into the global pop music mainstream.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of Dutty Rock — the Grammy-winning album that turned Sean Paul into a household name — but he's given fans another reason to celebrate with the release of a new album, Scorcha.
Paul joins Q's Tom Power to talk about Scorcha, 20 years of Dutty Rock, and the stories behind some of his biggest hits, including a few surprising Canadian connections.
