Dancehall artiste Unknown Gringo was reportedly shot and killed in Trelawny in the early hours of Friday morning.
The Jamaica Constabulary Force confirmed the reports that the artist was killed, but few details have been shared. “We are aware that there was a shooting involving a deejay in Trelawny but we have not confirmed the details as yet,” the Jamaica Observer quoted the JCF.
Unknown Gringo, whose real name is Frantz Morris, was born and raised in the volatile community of Flankers in Montego Bay, but his family later moved to Trelawny, where he lived until his death.
The artist’s career was just taking off despite being on the music scene for a few years. Gringo is well known for songs like Tank Up, Brawling Death, Money Machine featuring Chronic Law, Shy featuring Jada Kingdom, “Careful” with Skillibeng, and others.
The artist made his debut at Reggae Sumfest in 2019 but was affected by the pandemic. He continued to work and appeared to have a strong 2022 with songs like “Area Code” that released by his label, Desconocido Music, and was one of the rising stars making his debut at Sting 2022.
Gringo’s provocative music included references to obeah and human sacrifices as well as lottery scamming or “banging e line,” as referred to in his lyrics.
Meanwhile, there are reports online that the artist shot in the vicinity of Rock in Falmouth, Trelawny.
On social media, fans of the artist reacted with shock at his death, with many lamenting the artist dying before he could achieve his dreams.
“France you really gone bro,” one fan wrote.
“Life really f**k up god no. A last night we a chat pon the phone an u a seh it coming like the flu want hold u. An mi tell u fi tek a pill. SMH never know it would be the last time a chat u to. Fly high my friend,” another wrote.
This is a developing story.

Sean Paul links up with Rvssian and Danny Ocean for a good vibe in “No Me Controles” visual.
You can always expect a banger from Rvssian, especially when he links with artists like Sean Paul and Danny Ocean. The dancehall/reggaeton banger saw the Jamaican legend spitting bars from the streets of Tivoli Gardens in Kingston, where the Rook-directed video was shot. The cut features a group of men playing domino and some beautiful ladies dolling up for the club later that evening, where the producer and his crew were hanging out.
The nearly three minutes cut starts with a message written in Spanish. “If you love a flower, don’t pick it up. Because if you do, it will die and stop being what you love. So if you love a flower, let it be,” the message reads.
Rvssian, born in Jamaica but now based in California, is one of the most recognized names in music production, currently covering reggae, dancehall, reggaeton, Latin pop, and hip hop. He is known for making some big crossover bangers like “Nostálgico” featuring Chris Brown and Rauw Alejandro, “B11” with Zion Y Lennix, Myke Trowers, and Darell, and “Ponle” with Farruko and J Balvin.
Sean Paul has been active in music for the past three decades and is showing no signs of slowing down. “Me say he first time me get fi buss the cherry / Me get fi understand say yo love is necessary / In a me life so yo know mi woulda never cut left it / Come fi realize yo no deh ya fi the monetary,” Sean Paul rhymes over a tropical beat.

Drake and Shenseea’s long-rumored collaboration leaked online, leaving some fans disappointed.
Urban Islandz first reported in June 2021 that the dancehall singer and the Toronto rapper got a collaboration in the works. At the time, her musical nemesis Spice also spilled the beans on the collab during one of her Instagram Live sessions. Since then, the rumors have died down, and Shenseea has since shared she is open to collaborating with Drake but iced the age-old allegations she was in a relationship with him.
Fast forward to today, a snippet of a song purported to be a collaboration with Shenseea and Drake is making the rounds online. The audio clip features the two artists in their distinct flow trading bars over a trippy beat.
“I come first…wet up, wet up, mek it slide in quicker,” Shenseea sings with Drake coming through singing, “slide through, come get this good, good love I provide you / You first then me / I wanna give you plenty.”
Shenseea and Drake
Neither Shenseea nor Drake reacted to the alleged leak, but some fans are already questioning its authenticity. Others are sounding off, saying it’s not what they expected to hear from the two suggesting that it’s underwhelming.
“This very mid, as a ShenYeng this is not what I was expected on a big collab with Drake, no surprise someone leak it,” one female fan said. Another fan added, “this explains why this never see the light of day not ready for prime time. Big artist like Drake yo affi go hard Shenseea we know you got what it takes.”
Shenseea is riding high off her performance at the 2023 Rolling Loud California music festival last weekend. She is also currently working on her sophomore album, due sometime this year. The project is the follow-up to her debut Alpha, released last March.
Drake has not announced any new music, and recently he revealed that he thought about hanging up his mic and retiring gracefully from music. He is also an actor, so perhaps he will go back to acting following an impressive decade run in music that saw him shattering countless records.

Vybz Kartel ramping up his collabs with young dancehall acts by hopping on tracks with Valiant and Masicka.
Dancehall rising star, Valiant is getting a major boost in dancehall as he and Vybz Kartel prep for their first collaboration, a track called “Time Heals.” The collaboration was announced on the incarcerated artist’s youngest son’s Instagram page, which is listed as a record label. “Time Heals” will be released on March 31st and is produced by Aiko Pon Di Beat record in collaboration with Adidjaheim Records and will be distributed by Zojak Worldwide.
Valiant has been blowing up as an artist with his hit songs like “Dunce Cheque,” “North Carolina,” “St. Mary,” and other tracks. The infectious songs have drawn both criticism and appraisal from the music fraternity even as Valiant climbs the ladder and is now regarded as the ‘hottest’ young artist in Jamaica right now.

Valiant has also been booked and busy as he’s currently on a Caribbean tour after performing in Antigua and Guyana and has a dozen more tour dates across the Caribbean later this month. He is also set to perform at BRT Weekend coming up and later at Dream Weekend in July.
The incarcerated Worl’ Boss has been very active musically as he also announced a new collaboration also with Def Jam artist, Masicka. The song “Shootaz” was released earlier this week and had a few thousand views already.
Vybz Kartel fans reacted to the Valiant collaboration with fire emojis, and some fans shared excitement that Kartel was taking time out to collaborate with young artists.
“Mi nuh think dem ready fully gaza,” one fan wrote. “She can’t see her life without me she so blind still…. #timeheals,” another fan wrote. Another added, “This sound like Grammy in the making.”
The label also released a preview of the song, and it appears to be a sample of Yung Bleu and Drake’s “You’re Mines Still.”
