SCAACHA is pushing back against the celebration of the ‘dunce’ culture sweeping the dancehall with I Learn Something.

“This song is pushing the merits of education and also the importance of lifelong learning and acquiring not just a sound education, but knowledge and ultimately wisdom. It is important that children see that learning is not something to be ashamed of — how else can you get the skills to survive in today’s world?” asked the artiste whose real name is Oral Omar Ellis.

I Learn Something was released in December 2023 on the Win Fi Win Production label.

Born in Mandeville, Manchester, Scaacha realised his passion for music at a tender age while growing up in the Greenwich Town area of Kingston 13. While attending Denham Town Comprehensive in Kingston, he used to visit studios in the Corporate Area to gain experience.

“The love and the passion for music drove me to the studio, and I took the stage name Scaacha because of my fiery lyrics,” he said.

He recorded his first single, Wave Off the Crosses, in 2000 and from then he has recorded for a number of top producers such as Steely and Clevie, Bobby Digital, Jah Snowcone, and others.
