Who is Garwayne Green?

Jamaican-born rapper GG Taffa aka Garwayne Green is an artist that is truly on the cusp of international stardom. Merging traditional Dancehall with some elements of Trap, he is one of the island’s leading exponents of this fusion genre. Devoid of the harshest elements of Trap, this burgeoning genre of music is infused with that certain tropical bounce of the island paradise and a critical urban sound.

GG Taffa has captured that blend perfectly, and what he delivers is a brilliant combination of tight

lyrical flows, underscored by phat bone-shaking beats and touched by sublime musical harmonies.

Addictive and highly infectious, his songs speak to the dancehall roots that have woven a strong

narrative throughout the Caribbean and are complemented by tough unapologetic rhymes.

Those sophisticated harmonies are derived from early exposure to church choirs and the after-effects of being inspired by Biggie and Lil Wayne. Growing up by his own admission as a wild child, his lyrics and truths are his own, and he is not defined by the expectations of others.

Multi-dimensional in the truest sense of the word, he chooses to master and engineer his own tracks in the never-ending pursuit of perfectionism. Although making music for the past 5 years, it was not until 2021 with the release of 5 new original

pieces and a mixtape, that he struck recording gold. Starting with ‘Wine Up’ and ‘Come My Way, he

delivered a vocal performance that is not just centred around his rap game but speak to his vocal

abilities as well. Strong enough to stand on their own, his singing provides a natural evolutionary

context for his rhymes and sits effortlessly above those brazen beats.
