The '80s and '90s were an incredible time for dancehall, both in Jamaica and over here in the UK. Thanks to our own homegrown sound systems, plenty of talent made the trip over here to get stuck into the local scene and bring the latest developments across the Atlantic.

Towards the end of the 1980s and into the early '90s, a wave of talent rose up that would go on to directly shape the future of the UK underground from jungle through to garage, grime and rap. Chief amongst them was "Incredible" MC General Levy alongside basically everyone you'll see in the video below.

Joining Levy on stage at Peckham Rye that night in 1990 were General Levy, Sweetie Irie, Daddy Freddy (a favoured collaborator of The Bug), the late Tenor Fly, Mikey General and Junior Dan. Although there'll always be gatekeepers, it was still a wildly inventive time where deejays, producers and selectors would all push their experiments as far as they could (Daddy Freddy, for example, famously earned the title of World's Fastest Rapper around this time). Here you can see the unpredictable freeness of it all in the blend of slow jams and whipcrack ragga flows. I mean, did you ever expect to hear a dancehall revamp of Phil Collins' 1982 hit "You Can't Hurry Love"?
