Mannen’s created on the same riddim (instrumental) as One Bagga Shh!. It’s an energetic dance song with flavors from dancehall, Afropop and reggae. The song is performed by Jamkid from Rågsved, Stockholm. Jamkid got the name from his parents who saw that Jombo (his real name) hummed and danced to dancehall and reggae, and give him the name “the jamming kid”, later Jamkid. Mannen’s all about loyalty and suburban friendship that leads to disappointments. Boys often call each other “brother”, “fam”, “akhi” and so on, men who later get into the backside of the street with money, hype or drugs, they turn their backs on each other. Instead of remembering that you belong together and have shared moments and successes.

Jamkid is a dancehall-fusion and afrobeat artist from Rågsved in Sweden with roots from The Gambia. He is known for his vital live performances and extravagant style in clothing. He started his career in Rågsved alongside the collective All Green and later in about 2017 pursued onto a strong solo career and has since then gained respect and following. His name stands for “The jamming kid” which is a nickname he came up with when he was a kid listening to Bob Marley and other reggae and dancehall artists
