Llewellyn America is a 26-year-old reggae and dance hall music producer from Parkwood in Cape Town. His music is a blend of Jamaican Patois and Afrikaans, and he shot his first music video for a song titled ‘Ghetto’ in early 2020.
‘I’ve never cut them since birth. But at the age of 21, it was the first time that I did cut my dreadlocks,’ says America, who also goes by the name Sparta King. ‘There’s a few things I need to boost my music career. I know it’s legal and 100% natural. I’ve heard that there might be people interested in buying. So I’ve recently decided to sell them since a lot of people approached me.’
As reported by IOL, America is selling the bunch of 30 dreads on Facebook Marketplace for R3 000.
