I’m sure that most of you are familiar with the above equation even though it was never taught to you in high school or college. It’s a fairly simple formula to understand and wouldn’t even require the use of a scientific calculator to solve. Why? The answer is linked directly to common sense and could be used to explain why a lot of relationships built on “hype” typically last a few weeks or even less.

Busy Signal is still in his early twenties. He’s only been a professional artist for little over four years, and yet his songs and the way he expresses them are now the pulse by which modern-day dancehall is measured.
