The piece notes that dancehall’s interactive, collaborative nature does not treat a work as isolated or finished. Riddims are repeatedly reinterpreted, and each new artist or function determines the next iteration, making iteration a core part of the creative process.
This practice highlights that, within the genre, works evolve through collective contribution, challenging traditional ideas of a static, completed work.
