Arguably the Dancehall's sense of style is unparalleled to anywhere in the world. On any visit to Jamaica you notice one thing…there's never a dull moment in Jamaica.

Narrator and co-producer Codine Williams have spent some time in the island now and has noticed how out-of-place her tame chic stands against the ladies of the Dancehall.

Noticing that the trends tend to be psychedelic, provocative, ever changing and paired with multi-coloured wigs, Williams spent the day Keisha and her cousins (featured in episode one), receiving a makeover to blend in amongst the locals.

Heading to a few stores, Williams transformed her laid-back persona to one that reflects "Lady Gaga with my outfit and Nicki Minaj from the neck up…a little bit of Gag with a little bit of Minaj", then headed off to an outdoor party where she met with Popcaan and had local photographers spray her with their camera lens.
