Ward 21

Jamaican dancehall vocal and production collective Ward 21 have been thrilling their fans since 1999. Named after the psychiatric ward of Kingston’s University Hospital and assembled by master producer King Jammy in the capital’s Waterhouse district, Mark “Mean Dawg” Henry, Andre “Suku” Gray, and Kunley McCarthy have been whipping up dancehall madness ever since. They’ve released 5 studio albums, with a 6th due to drop in 2019. In commemoration of their 20th year in the business, WARD 21 will be preparing a dancehall party at Rototom for their committed fans.
