I have been reviewing some nice reggae/dancehall songs since I have been leveraging the ReggaeSteem Tribe. The last song I reviewed was a song produced by Koffee that have been topping the list of the best dancehall songs of 2019 in ranker.com. I decided to check through this platform again and give you guys another interesting review of a melodious song that have been selected and voted for by reggae/dancehall fans and lovers all across the universe as the Best 20 songs of 2019.

Owna Lane is a song produced by another great dancehall artists who came out of Montego Bay with a massive following. Teejay whose real name is Timoy Janeyo Jones hails from Glendevon area in Montego Bay, Jamaica and he is currently 25 years of age. Timoy Janeyo Jones got inspiration and motivation for music from all of his three brothers who are musicians. He was also inspired and motivated by popular international acts such as Maxi Priest, Percy Sledge, Dennis Brown, Buju Blanton, Celine Dion and Mariah Carey.

The "Up Top" Boss who has performed at Reggae Sumfest, Beer Wendzdayz, the MoBay Jerk Festival and a host of others along with dancehall greats released Owna Lane on the 23rd of January, 2019 under a Record Label known as Romeich Entertainment. Owna Lane is a very interesting song with beautiful and meaningful lyrics. There is this particular verse I love most in the song.

Me no frighten fi people, me no frighten fi people
No sah, people haffi frighten fi me
Jah guide me in the streets when me out at night
Mother deh read Bible fi me

I love this particular verse most simply because he talks about the massive roles God and his Mother has been playing in his life. We all know the important roles they both play in our lives as well and they both deserves our praises. This song is sure a good one from the artist and It really deserves its spot as the best 20 dancehall songs of 2019. The song have been on repeat for me since I came across it few hours ago. Also, I have watched the video about three times due to the nice visuals as he makes strides by spitting fire in the video.

Owna Lane Lyrics
