For Jamaica, since the decimalization of the JMD in 1969, it’s:

1969 - $1
1979 - $0.26
1989 - $0.05
1999 - $0.005
2009 - $0.002
2019 - $0.00093
2024 - $0.00066

Just Blaze killed this. What do I mean? Hint: Listen on big speakers.

There is a chunk of Jamaican music history focused on just instrument players. Jackie Mittoo, Don Drummond and the like. Musicianship is its own form of brilliance and words don't always 'make' a song, the arrangement tells a story. Check it out! youtube.com/watch?v=kQrPIT…
