Lockdown saw @Popcaanmusic cut off from the world – so he tapped into his heritage, and burrowed deeper than ever. The results are going to take him to the next level. An artist who works on multiple levels, this Jamaican icon sits down with Clash to discuss his next album, before opening up about his spirituality, family life, and more. Tapping back into his roots, Popcaan’s new album emerged from a period of easy-going creativity, balanced by his intimate relationship with OVO Sound, and Drake. In this frank, profoundly honest cover interview, Popcaan discusses the core of his creativity, his innate need to raise up young artists, and his decision to bring Unruly Fest to London for the very first time.
