I hope the industry gives her her dues whilst she is still here. She is by far one of the best writers in music not just in Jamaica. Every song tells a story and a beautiful voice. Bless up Tanya

[@caniceedward1821]

Tanya Stephens great artist.

[@ricardowhite4815]

Jamaica don’t give their talented people their dues until they’re gone.

[@sophiadjladyjuicysimpson7431]

Real talk right 🔥🔥🔥👊🏾❤🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

[@TrollinOn22s]

More substance than lady saw and spice and has always been best female artist in my book.

[@leoncharles8602]

I was just telling someone the same thing this morning. I don't think Jamaica gives her the credit she deserves

[@dunkirk6808]

Tanya is a poet and story teller, all of which fuel her core nature as a creative writer. We are all blessed to experience Tanya’s true core.

[@mariotater1310]

So underrated song great lyrics should remake millions

[@dunkirk6808]

No following, so explain further. Not sure if you incite that I refer to Tanya as underrated.

[@goodtobecaring4035]

She baddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

[@prestonmatthews725]

I started smiling before the video even started. Tanya hands down is one of the greatest female artiste of all times.

[@Leopoetess]

Her voice is so unique. Soothing and mellow. Her lyrics are thought-provoking. I am a die-hard fan!

[@EllaCHall]

Love her MUSIC!!!

[@deanalpha5502]

[@prestonmatthews725]

Love me some Tanya

[@jamaicanyoungpolice1555]

Icon of the European culture. Tanya Stephens is the elusive Jamaican “BIG FOOT!” The people of St. Mary don't have any respect for her anymore because she says that there is no God.

[@djflintieghettocraft1553]

I don’t know why she is so underrated but damn she is so good and deserve a great recognition whilst she is alive…more love from 🇿🇼 🇿🇦 🇯🇲

[@longbranch11207]

She has a huge following

[@rozenrogers9897]

Dont know why either..good grief...she hard like life🥰🥰🥰

[@jalgal876]

She is underrated because she nuh care what people seh bout her an she nuh kiss ass! She is the best lyricist I know about and she twist all of them up in knots.

[@EllaCHall]

Bahamas in the house🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸

[@komakechdaniel8671]

But who is underating ?

[@bysonlaw1]

You just have to respect the fact that she put great music down and she never had to dress skimpy or show skin it was solely her writing love this woman would love if she drops a couple more albums she is surly a once in a lifetime artist

[@ricardowhite4815]

THE GREATEST FEMALE LYRICIST IN THE HISTORY OF REGGAE/DANCEHALL MUSIC 🎼 🎶 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥NOT UP FOR DISCUSSION

[@MarvinFrancis]

This is a factual statement.

[@doseofdaicia]

facts!!!!!

[@oceanlover2426]

💯Not at all@ up for discussion. Not too many male lyricists in any genre can top her either.

[@yaadi876]

and if they disagree am here to back u🙄

[@Imani76]

Seani u hit the nail right on the head with that intro

[@NATURLIST]

His intro was accurate but at the sametime inadequate, she is more than just 1 of the best songwriters from jamaica, top vacalist, never miss a key, and well versatile, and siddung pon any riddim solid, she is high level, she is a real musician, who knows instruments, like koffee

[@yaadi876]

not quite for she's the greatest writer

[@georgesmith1155]

Nobody in Dancehall, man or woman, can flow like this gal yah. Those subtle, powerful connections of words that rhyme are a form of word artistry that only the best of the best can achieve.

[@ssliburd1]

Ain’t nobody could tell a story like Tanya!! ❤️❤️❤️Poetry at its finest.

[@el-im3jf]

Girl you represent so much women .. that’s why world wide WE LOVE YOU🇩🇲🇩🇲🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@ericaspringer231]

One of the most intelligent and intellectual artists in Jamaica and around the world, Tanya Stephens

[@xajaybrooks2185]

Used to hear her songs everyday as a kid she still sounds the same wtf❤️🔥🔥

[@jamaicanstuff2551]

Thats how u know real singers from autotune artists

[@jamaicanyoungpolice1555]

She is a disgrace to the black race and the driving force behind the decadent behavior.

[@donovanwilliams29]

@@jamaicanstuff2551 True

[@marieaustin1283]

I really do believe that Tanya Stephens is the best female reggae artist in her age group and younger. She need to be recognized a whole lot more.

[@errolhobson1653]

One of my favorite on this riddim

[@jahkidd243]

Tanya is the toughest female in dance hall . A dih realest female jd

[@defender2593]

Without apology, Tanya is the most well rounded artist out of Jamaica. I think the jamaica music fraternity shun her because of how her peers who was supposed to protect her knew she was violated and still to this day remain silent. She is also feared due to her intelligence and no nonsense approach to life. There are few artists with her depth that can command a stage. I think she will tell them to jeep the flowers because she make music for the love of it.

[@laetilight816]

Tanya, we love you 🙏🏽💚💛❤️
