Throughout the Popcaan cover story from our Summer Music issue, writer Jesse Serwer frequently points out the Jamaican artist's rich patois, his "piercing and unmistakable" voice and his tendency to "Popcaan-ize" nearly every word or turn of phrase to suit his distinctive lexicon. His dialect is amazing to hear but it's also nice to read, and now there are official lyric videos for each song on Where We Come From, his new full-length collection of daytime drinking dancehall. It's cool to know definitively what he's saying, though the record would have soundtracked our summer whether we knew all the words or not.
