Queen Ifrica & Lady G — Queens of Jamaican Music
Introduction:
Two of the most important female voices in the history of Jamaican reggae and dancehall share a page on Reggae On A Stick — and rightly so. Queen Ifrica (born Ventrice Morgan, 25 March 1975 in Montego Bay) is the daughter of ska legend Derrick Morgan, a devout Rastafarian, and the artist whose 2017 album Climb debuted at number one on the Billboard Reggae Albums chart. Lady G (born Janice Fyffe, 7 May 1968 in Spanish Town) is a dancehall pioneer whose 1988 feminist anthem "Nuff Respect" broke new ground for women in Jamaican music, who won Female DJ of the Year six times, and whose 2000 collaboration "Girls Like Us" with B15 Project reached number 7 on the UK Singles Chart. Together they represent the breadth and power of female artistry in Jamaica's musical culture.
Queen Ifrica — Fyah Muma from Montego Bay:
Born into musical royalty — her father is ska pioneer Derrick Morgan, though she was raised by her mother and stepfather — Ventrice Morgan began her career in 1995 by winning a talent contest at Club Inferno in Montego Bay. It was a transformative night. From there she was invited to perform at Reggae Sumfest and in 1998 Tony Rebel heard her at a tribute concert to the late Garnett Silk and immediately invited her into his Flames Production camp. Her singles "Randy", "Jus My Brethren", "Below the Waist" and the deeply personal "Daddy" established her as one of Jamaica's most important cultural voices. She signed with VP Records in 2009 for her debut album Montego Bay, which included the poignant social commentary "Streets Are Bloody". Her 2017 Climb (featuring "Trueversation" with Damian Marley) debuted at Billboard Reggae number one. She has performed globally — Sierra Nevada World Music Festival, Reggae on the River, Reggae Sundance in Holland, Summer Jam Germany — and received the 2023 Young, Gifted & Black Reggae/Dancehall Icon Award.
Lady G — Nuff Respect from Spanish Town:
Janice Fyffe grew up in Spanish Town, the daughter of reggae singer Ken Fyffe of The Techniques. As a child she would sneak out of the house to follow the Black Scorpio sound system around Jamaica. After leaving school she was mentored by dancehall deejay Lord Sassafrass and began her career on Black Scorpio in the late 1980s. Her 1988 debut single "Nuff Respect" — produced by Gussie Clarke using J.C. Lodge's "Telephone Love" riddim — was a feminist anthem demanding respect for all women regardless of background, and became one of the defining records of Jamaican music that year. She won Female DJ of the Year for six consecutive years (1988–1991, 1994, 1998). Her duets and collaborations with Papa San — including "Legal Rights" (1989) and the classic "Round Table Talk" (1990), which won the JAMI Award for Best Music Video — are among the most joyful and celebrated records of the dancehall golden era. Her 2000 UK hit "Girls Like Us" with Crissy D and B15 Project reached number 7 on the UK Singles Chart. She was honoured by JaRIA with the Iconic Artiste in the Music Industry Award in 2020.
