1. Jamaican dancehall recording… Read Full Bio ↴There are 2 artists known as Spice:
1. Jamaican dancehall recording artist, singer, and songwriter Grace Latoya Hamilton (born 6 August 1982), known professionally as Spice. Referred to as the "Queen of Dancehall", Spice is recognised as one of the most prominent dancehall artists in the world.
Beginning her career in the early 2000s, Spice had her first major success with the controversial single "Romping Shop" with Vybz Kartel in 2009. She subsequently signed with VP Records, and released her debut EP, So Mi Like It (2014), which was preceded by the single of the same name. In 2018, Spice joined the cast of VH1's reality television series Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta in season seven, after appearing as a guest star in season six.
Spice's first full-length project, a mixtape titled Captured (2018), was released independently and debuted at number one on the Billboard Reggae Albums chart. It was preceded by the single "Black Hypocrisy", which addresses the issue of colorism in the black community. Captured was released following a dispute with Spice's record label over the release of her long-delayed debut studio album, Ten (2021).
2. L.A. based indie band Spice, formed in 2018 and based across California, each members’ roots are in the North Bay of San Francisco. Comprised of Ross Farrar (vocals) and Jake Casarotti (drums), both of Ceremony, along with Cody Sullivan (bass), Ian Simpson (guitar), and Victoria Skudlarek (violin), Spice’s sound pulls from the sense of melody and drive inherent to Bay Area pedigree, peppered with modernity and awash with an anthemic haze.
3. Spice were a British pop rock and rhythm and blues band featuring David Byron (vocals), Mick Box (guitar), Paul Newton (bass guitar), Alex Napier (drums) and Colin Wood (keyboards). (Napier was a replacement for drummer Nigel Pegrum; Pegrum would later join the folk rock band Steeleye Span).
In late 1969, organist Ken Hensley, formerly of The Gods and Toe Fat joined. The band's last concert was on 21. February 1970 at St Mary's College in Twickenham, supporting Deep Purple - the band changed its name to Uriah Heep shortly after. The first concert as Uriah Heep was on 20 March at the Technical College in Salisbury.
Spice released one single, "What About The Music" (b/w "In Love") in 1968, eventually transforming into Uriah Heep during the recording of their first full-length album. Songs recorded under the Spice name and line-up have surfaced on:
The Lansdowne Tapes (compilation of recordings by Spice, and outtakes from the first three Uriah Heep albums) - Recorded 1968-1971, released 1994
A Time of Revelation (four-disc anthology of Uriah Heep material, including recordings by Spice) - Recorded 1968-1995, released 1996
Spice recordings on these compilations consisted of "Astranaza", "Born In A Trunk" (vocal and instrumental versions), "Celebrate", "I Want You Babe", "In Love", "Magic Lantern", "Schoolgirl", and "What About The Music". Additionally, two of the songs released on the first Uriah Heep album were recorded by the Spice line-up before Hensley's inclusion, with Colin Wood appearing on keyboards ("Come Away Melinda" and "Wake Up (Set Your Sights)").

Nuh up to fi mi standard
Nuh up to fi mi standard
You don't care for me at all
(Care for me at all)
And I found you only stay
To make me feel so very small
I just don't leave you alone (leave you alone)
Leave you alone (leave you alone)
You know man
Man will say dem love you but go look a next woman
Man will say dem single, don't believe it dem a scam
Man will treat you like a goddess or queen fi get a slam
Man will tell you lie like dem believe dem yuh head a yam
That is why me never ramp fi run di dutty man
Up inna every gyal DM, like every picture pon di 'Gram
Dem deh bangarang, nuh up to fi mi standard
Independent gyal run 'way dat, bwoy galang
You don't care for me at all
(Care for me at all)
And I found you only stay
To make me feel so very small
And I don't know why
I just don't leave you alone (leave you alone)
Leave you alone (leave you alone)
Well him ah fiend fi dah body 'ya, remember di whine
Feelings ah bother you, still deh pon yuh mind
Wish him coulda get even a minute ah mi time
Aww look ah dat, me nuh pay no damn mind

Man me nuh run down, paper me chase
Wan' forgiveness go ask God, nuh bring dat to Grace
From you cheat one time nuh come back inna mi place

(Care for me at all)
And I found you only stay
To make me feel so very small
And I don't know why
I just don't leave you alone (leave you alone)
Leave you alone (leave you alone)

Glad dat chapter deh closed and me still inna mi prime
You don't care for me at all
(Care for me at all)
And I found you only stay
To make me feel so very small
And I don't know why
I just don't leave you alone (leave you alone)
Leave you alone (leave you alone)
In Spice and Company's song "Don", the singer is sending a message to men who treat women poorly. The first verse is an introduction to the song, with the repetitive line "Nuh up to fi mi standard" repeating three times to emphasize the importance of the standard that the singer has in her relationships.
In the chorus, the singer explains that the person she is talking about doesn't care about her at all and stays with her just to make her feel small. She doesn't know why she doesn't leave him alone, but it's clear that she is being mistreated and shouldn't stay in the relationship.
In the second verse, the singer talks about the ways that men can deceive women. They might say they love them but then move on to the next woman, claim to be single when they're not, or treat women like queens only to get what they want. The singer is saying that she won't put up with that kind of behavior and that men who act that way are not up to her standard.
Overall, "Don" is a song that empowers women and sends a message that they should have high standards for how they are treated in relationships, and not tolerate mistreatment or mistreatment.

Respectfully, you should go watch Shaggy’s breakfast club interview. Dancehall has not evolved. On a global scale the “old” sound is very much missing
