An additional task is to determine the identity of Polish dancehall artists. The article compares the available research distinguishing the main lyrical themes of the Jamaican dancehall with the analysis of Polish lyrics of this genre. The analysis shows that there are significant differences between practicing dancehall in Poland and in Jamaica. A particular difference can be seen in the lyrics of the songs. The identity of the Polish dancehall creator seems to be unclear and difficult to define.
