<description><![CDATA[One of the newest generation of celebrities to generate buzz before their first single is even released, Sean Kingston (born Kisean Anderson) got his first break on MySpace. The 17-year-old was visiting Dr. Dre's page one day and saw that American producer J.R. Rotem had started a new label and was looking to sign artists. Several instances of online harassment later, Kinsgston had secured an audition with Rotem, who found himself impressed by Kingston's croon and his heartfelt, G-rated lyrics. He signed him on the spot. Kingston's bicultural upbringing informs his sound: born in Miami and raised both there and in Jamaica, the singer is equally versed in mainstream rap and dancehall, though his first hit owes a debt, amazingly, to doo-wop. But Kingston, for all his fresh-faced appearance, isn't without connections: his grandfather was Jamaican producer Jack Ruby. Despite his pedigree, Kingston has seen his share of difficulties as well: his mother and sister were thrown in jail for tax evasion when he was just 14-years-old, leaving the boy temporarily homeless.

<description><![CDATA[Hip-hop has always taken inspiration from Dancehall -- thanks to New York's
sizeable Jamaican population -- and collaborations between the two
communities have been increasing. But it took Dancehall newcomer Sean Paul
to finally close the gap. After a series of collaborations with such artists
as Jay-Z and DMX, Paul's long-awaited sophomore album <I>Dutty Rock</I>
burned up clubs all over the world with its stellar combination of grit,
glitz and girl-talk. Culturally mongrel, Paul is something of an anomaly in
the Dancehall world: he's the well-educated son of a Portuguese-Jamaican
father and a Chinese-Jamaican mother (a well-known Jamaican artist). He was
even a top athlete before abandoning water polo for the microphone. We're
glad he did. It may not be the deepest lyricism you'll ever encounter, but
Paul's mic control is masterful, and as track-swollen as it was, "Dutty Rock"
did indeed rock from start to finish. Paul followed up <i>Dutty Rock</i> with <I>The Trinity</i> in 2005.

<description><![CDATA[Jamaican born and Brooklyn raised, Shaggy first entered the pop charts with his 1993 remake of the reggae classic "Oh Carolina." Sampling the Peter Gunn theme and treating the lyrics with his self-named "dog-a-muffin" style, Shaggy charmed the charts and soon found himself signed to Virgin Records for an unprecedented wad of cash. The investment paid off in 1995, when "Boombastic" (off the album of the same name) became a ubiquitous hit both in the U.S. and abroad, as Shaggy boasted of his sexual prowess in his signature growl. But his following release didn't fare as well, and Virgin dropped him, assuming they had a one-hit wonder whose hit was spent. The move was disastrous for them but it proved to be a boon to MCA, who snapped him up and hit pay dirt when 2000's <I>Hot Shot</i> ended up selling over six million copies, mostly on the strength of the phenomenally successful single "It Wasn't Me." Though his follow-up, 2002's <i>Lucky Day</i>, didn't produce a hit on the order of "It Wasn't Me," it still performed well -- and Shaggy, with his randy persona and witty lyricism, always seems to find his way back to the charts.

<description><![CDATA[His voice lays down some of the hardest lyrics this side of Shabba Ranks, but Banton's developing messages are helping Dancehall move away from earlier Gangsta trappings. Banton originally got into some trouble for some politically incorrect standpoints, but his music has kept audiences dancing with a tight backing band and music that relies on the sound and message of Roots Reggae.

<description><![CDATA[Known as the Crown Prince of Reggae (Bob Marley is still king), Dennis Brown's voice was capable of conveying both romantic themes and conscious Roots topics. Brown, who passed away from respiratory failure in 1999, began as a young Roots singer, working with producers such as Coxsone Dodd and Niney the Observer and adding his wails to many backing and solo efforts. With more than eighty albums recorded, Brown has a tremendous catalog -- from the sweetest Lovers Rock to more recent Dancehall. His steady soulful vibrato can melt you like a candle.

<description><![CDATA[Unlike many current Jamaican artists, Hammond has the vocal skills to sing a melody like the Reggae greats of the '70s. Hammond has been around since then, but it wasn't till more recently that he got the recognition and album sales that he deserved. His high, pure voice has just a hint of wispy gravel in it, bringing smooth lovers melodies and Rastafarian themes into his songs when many others were making money off more guns-and-women oriented lyrics. Influenced by Reggae pioneers like Alton Ellis and U.S. artists like Marvin Gaye, Hammond has a soulful voice that is one of Jamaica's modern-day classics. From Roots to Dancehall to Lovers Rock, Hammond has proven his versatility over any type of rhythm.

<description><![CDATA[As the youngest Marley, Damian has taken a decidedly less pop-oriented route than brother Ziggy. His 1996 debut, <i>Mr. Marley</i>, was released to critical acclaim for its contemporary take on roots reggae, but it wasn't until 2001 that Marley broke out internationally with the Grammy-winning <I>Halfway Tree</i>, which saw him toggling easily between conscious lyricism and more dancehall-friendly beats. Marley was pleased with his Grammy, but he quite vocally bemoaned the relegation of reggae music to its own tiny category. He set his sights on a bigger win, and after a long four years he released 2005's <I>Welcome to Jamrock</i>, a remarkable release whose title track spoke eloquently of the tough reality on Jamaican streets. The song gained airplay both in Jamaica and on urban stations in the U.S., and it ultimately won a Grammy for Best Urban/Alternative Performance, while the album won Best Reggae Album. A savvy performer who has also turned his hand to production (with his brother Stephen), Marley is that rare beast: the son of a famous man who seems spurred on -- rather than burdened -- by his father's legacy.

<description><![CDATA[Collie Buddz is from the generation of reggae/dancehall artists who know no geographic or cultural boundaries. Buddz was born in New Orleans as Colin Harper, but was raised on the Bermuda Islands. Growing up on reggae, he listened intently to the work of Tony Rebel, Diana King, Mad Cobra, Tanto Metro and Devonte, Shabba Ranks, Super Cat and Patra. In 2006, Buddz signed with Sony and released the single "Come Around." The song was a smash in America and Europe's urban market, and led to Collie's collaborations with various hip-hop royalty, including Lil' Flip, Tony Yayo, Paul Wall and Young Buck. Collie's self-titled debut was released in the summer of 2007.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[He's a controversial figure, a prolific creator who has at times released four albums in the space of a year, and he's the toast of cultural dancehall. Sizzla Kalonji was born Miguel Collins to a devout Rastafarian family in 1976. He entered the music scene in the mid-'90s, joining acts like Buju Banton and Capleton, artists who shared a similar interest in reconnecting dancehall music with roots reggae's spiritual and cultural concerns. After cutting a series of singles, he achieved breakout success in 1997 with <I>Praise Ye Jah</i>, his second full-length. A relentless release schedule followed, but despite his frequent releases, Kalonji rarely sacrifices quality, instead vacillating stylistically, coming out hard one year and romantic the next. Kalonji's output has been twinned with controversy, as some of his hard-line Rastafarian beliefs around homosexuality and other social issues have offended sensibilities over the years.

<description><![CDATA[He's gained international recognition and praise from fans and musicians alike, delivering semi-rapped lines with his gravelly vocals on hundreds of classic tracks -- often with support from major artists like KRS-One, Maxi-Priest and Queen Latifah among others. Though he's cleaned up his act considerably, the slackness' of his lyrics is evident in even the titles of his albums, such as <I>Love Punanny Bad</I>, and who can blame him? The single "Wicked in Bed" earned him a good deal of his massive reputation. As an artist on Epic records, Ranks has reached a much larger audience than many of his peers, gaining fans all over the world, especially in Japan and England. Working with top producers like King Jammy and Bobby Digital has given his music reliably fresh rhythms and a melodic edge. With a couple of Grammys and name drops by artists like A Tribe Called Quest, there seems to be little chance of Shabba's reign ending.

<description><![CDATA[Skirting the boundaries between reggae and Dancehall vocals, Levy sings in a high voice that can soothe you like a lover's call or make you dance in a rhythmic Raggamuffin style. He earned his fame with songs like "Under Mi Sensi" and "Collie Weed," promoting a positive Rastafarian message, with rhythmic backing by players like Roots Radics or Sly and Robbie.

<description><![CDATA[A young man with big ears (hence the childhood nickname), Elephant Man is a Jamaican dancehall emcee with a big love for American hip-hop. While Sean Paul style crossover may not be imminent, Elephant Man's gruff style has earned him a few cameos - with Busta Rhymes and Mariah Carey - and thus interest from record labels north of the Caribbean. His 2003 release <i>Pon Di River, Pon Di Bank</i> delivered a shot of true, unadulterated dancehall for which American charts might just have been ready.

<description><![CDATA[Widely acknowledged by younger reggaeton stars as the granddaddy of the genre, Panama's El General (aka Edgardo Franco) never got the fame he deserved. Radio stations weren't ready for his tropical-infused Spanish-language dancehall when he dropped "Tu Pum Pum" in 1988, and the song became a hit with very little radio support. Record industry executives kept telling him this dance fusion was just a fad, but the hits accumulated year after year -- among them the anthemic "Muevelo," "Te Ves Bueno" and "Caramelo." In 2004 El General released his last album, <I>La Ficha Clave</I>, which included Celia Cruz's final duet, and then announced that he was moving on to pursue opportunities in film and television. At age 36, he'd been in the music industry for 16 years. As he bowed out, the genre he helped create began to cross over into the mainstream on the strength of songs like N.O.R.E.'s "Oye Mi Canto" and Daddy Yankee's "Gasolina."

<description><![CDATA[The rudest Dancehall toaster of the 1980s, Jamaica's albino son Yellowman made as many enemies as fans with his controversial, often overtly sexist (if tongue in cheek) lyrics. Now back on the Ragga scene, singing at a slightly slower pace, Yellowman's witticisms are as cheeky, spirited and intelligent as ever, and delivered with his customary sharp, melodic style.

<description><![CDATA[His style is as diverse as the costumes he wears on stage, but Eek-A-Mouse's vocal delivery is instantly recognizable and unique. Streaming lyrics flow off the top, center and middle of his mind, punctuated by characteristic 'Far East'-style phrases like 'biddy biddy bang didley bang bong.' The humor invades your brain, while your body is stewed in upbeat Ragga or hard Roots Radics rhythms. The Mouse's innovative mixture of singing and DJ-style toasting influenced many who came later, and helped to forge the Dancehall sound. A progressive style and cameos in Hollywood movies like 1991's <I>New Jack City</I> have given Eek-A-Mouse a higher profile than many of his contemporaries, the better to get those distinct squeals and zany rants to as many people as possible.

<description><![CDATA[Smooth reggae vocals reminiscent of Jacob Miller with a Dancehall style. Sanchez has become famous for his reggae interpretations of pop songs by artists such as Tracy Chapman and R. Kelly. His church singing upbringing gave Sanchez the pipes to compete, surviving the changing forms of Dancehall from its electro-synth beginnings to its current Gangsta Rap-influenced style.

<description><![CDATA[Luciano is part of the next generation of roots reggae musicians in Jamaica. Born in 1974, Luciano (born Jepther McClymont) had his first hit in the early '90s with "Give My Love A Try." A pair of U.K. hits followed, and Luciano was launched. He's grown more religious over the years, touring with the Jah Messenjah band and releasing a record with Mikey General in 2000, <i>Wisdom Knowledge and Overstanding</i>.

Together they brought a new sound that was to influence many, such as Ed Robinson and Anthony Red Rose. His sound has gone through many changes, from '80s Roots to synth produced Dancehall to hip-hop influenced Gangsta reggae. The one constant is Kamoze's smooth Jamaican rhymes.

<description><![CDATA[Though he started out vocalizing straight-ahead reggae tunes, over the years Wayne Wonder has evolved into one of the leading sweet-voiced lite dancehall vocalists in recent years. Born Von Wayne Charles, he captivates Jamaica's female audience with his silky, romantic melodies and big brown eyes. Sometimes he brings in gruff heavyweights like Buju Banton to add some edge to the unremittingly smooth R&B-touched tunes, but it's that tenor wail that keeps the ladies swooning.

<description><![CDATA[Though they've constructed the persona of Major Lazer, a Jamaican commando who lost his arm in the "secret Zombie War of 1984" and had his limb reconstructed with experimental lasers, Major Lazer is really just a moniker for American producer/DJs Diplo and Switch. The two have been among the most influential figures in modern club music, with Diplo proving to be one of the 2000s' most important tastemakers and Switch establishing himself as a leading figure in fidget house and as a producer for Santigold, NIN and Dilla, among others. The Major Lazer project, which uses dancehall as its backbone, is a result of the duo's time spent in Jamaica. Their debut album, <I>Guns Don't Kill People ... Lazers Do</I>, dropped in the summer of 2009. The two have stated that this is not a one-off, and they intend to continue working under the Major Lazer moniker.

<description><![CDATA[Jamaica's "riddim twins" are essentially the backbone of many classic reggae singles and albums, supporting practically every major reggae artist and a variety of international artists. Drummer Sly Dunbar and bassist Robbie Shakespeare have a relationship they refer to as almost a marriage: Their rhythmic fusion is so tight it borders on extrasensory perception. Since the mid-'70s they've performed everything from sparse, throbbing dub with their band the Revolutionaries to digitized dancehall on their Taxi Label. Sly and Robbie consistently remain a step ahead of their competition in terms of originality and rhythmic perfection, spurred on by crisp acoustic and synth beats. Their production credits read like a who's who of reggae: Black Uhuru, Peter Tosh, Gregory Isaacs, Dennis Brown, Burning Spear, Ini Kamoze and hundreds more, not to mention stars as diverse as Boogie Down Productions, Bob Dylan and Mick Jagger. More recently they've continued to chip away at reggae's boundaries, adding latin, hip-hop, jungle and drum 'n' bass to their island stew and collaborating with electronica producers such as Howie B.

<description><![CDATA[McGregor's smooth, classic reggae voice has spanned decades with its warm sound and effortless vibrato. From his beginnings as a seven year-old singer with the Clarendonians in the '60s, to his work as a slick producer and Dancehall singer in the present day, McGregor has always managed to put his own stamp on whatever reggae's current sound may be. His singing on many of Clement "Coxsone" Dodd's Studio One albums has earned him the title of living legend, satisfying many souls with his rootsy lover's tracks and laid-back vocal delivery.

<description><![CDATA[In the long tradition of slow-burn Jamaican crossovers like Bob Marley and Desmond Dekker, progressive dancehall artist Richie Spice entered the eye of the American public after years of success in his homeland. Born in 1971 in a Kingston suburb, his brothers are a who's-who of Jamaican music, including DJ Snatcher Dogg, Spanner Banner, and noted producer Pliers. His first low-key singles appeared in the early '90s. Over the next decade Spice's sound became increasingly progressive, adding bits of funk, hip-hop and heady politics to the typical dancehall equation, which he reinforced with catchy, soulful singjay vocals. His debut LP, <i>Out of the Blue</i>, was released to moderate acclaim in the mid-'90s, and was followed up in 2000 by <i>Universal</i>, which was noted for the enduring single, "Earth A Run Red." It wasn't until he found a spot on the roster of Fifth Element Records, which issued 2004's <i>Spice in Your Life</i>, that he found a wide international audience and a rising fame in the U.S. and Europe.

<description><![CDATA[This Jamaican dancehall DJ has enjoyed his fair share of controversy in his short career. He's engaged in a long-running feud with Vybz Kartel, which has resulted in a veritable avalanche of witty dis tracks. He's had numerous run-ins with Jamaican authorities, and he's seen shows canceled in Britain, visas denied in the U.S. and performance bans in the Caribbean. Perhaps all the drama is no surprise, given that Bounty Killer is the man's musical idol and mentor. (Killer gave Mavado, born David Brooks, a helping hand when he first entered the music industry.) But under the rough exterior lies a nice guy who fell in love with music at his grandmother's side in church every Sunday. Sure, he's singing about the gangsta life now, but this is no "Shake Dat Thing"-style dancehall: Mavado exudes a powerful sense of justice and engages in some intense storytelling, which has helped earn him numerous accolades and awards.

<description><![CDATA[The son of Bob Marley has a lot to live up to and Ky-Mani does justice to his father's memory with a Soul-inflected mixture of hip-hop and reggae that is as uncompromising as it is accessible -- a tricky thing to pull off. Respectable mainstream pop hasn't forgotten its roots, yet refuses to be restricted by them.

<description><![CDATA[Tanya Stephens brings a welcome female sensibility to the male-dominated dancehall scene. Born Vivienne Tanya Stephenson, Stephens was steeped in everything from calypso to American soul as a child. When she started rhyming as a teenager, she found herself bringing calypso's witty double entendres and a melodic singing voice (as well as strong toasting) to the table. She hooked up with producer Barry O'Hare for her first album, 1994's <I>Big Tings A Gwan</I>, which launched hits like "Kick Way" and "I Bet You Miss Me." In 1998 Stephens moved to Sweden, where she recorded alternative rock tracks, of all things, for Warner Bros. Needless to say the move didn't last -- she missed dancehall dreadfully, and within three years she was back in Jamaica, hanging around recording studios, armed with a burning creative streak. She released the refreshing and savvy <I>Gangsta Blues</I> in 2004 on VP Records and followed it with <i>Rebelution</i> in 2006.

<description><![CDATA[A versatile vocalist whose career spans almost the entire modern Jamaican music era, Boothe was one of the first solo singers to adopt the new Rock Steady rhythms in the mid-1960s. His sweet, clear tone was strongly reminiscent of American Soul singers like Marvin Gaye and David Ruffin, and his work with hit-making producers like Leslie Kong and Lloyd Charmers kept Boothe at the top of the Jamaican charts from the late '60s right up to the '80s. Always imbuing each tune with his warmth and personality, Boothe is a critical link throughout Reggae's history and an undeniable influence on generations of Jamaican singers.

<description><![CDATA[With one of the sweetest, most sought-after baritones in reggae and cred to burn, Bunny Wailer has been one of the leading progenitors of message-heavy Roots Reggae for nearly 30 years. Wailer formed the Wailers with Peter Tosh and went on to international fame as part of the best-known reggae group ever. Yet Wailer's solo career has also garnered him accolades, as he strives to continue a tradition of soulful tangling with issues of political oppression and celebrating that struggle with steady Dancehall riddims.

<description><![CDATA[Like fellow Jamaican heavyweights Buju Banton and Shabba Ranks, Capleton has had a shift in attitude from his early days as a rude boy. These days, his lyrics are all about culture and his Rastafarian faith -- a bit different from the slack lyrics that resulted in some of his songs being banned from Jamaican radio. He may have gained his audience with his graphic sexual themes, but it was the Rasta elements, like the addition of nyahbingi drumming, that earned him his place as a pioneer. His deep, commanding voice takes over a hard digital track or even hip-hop inspired R&B. Whether he's working with Stuart Brown's African Star sound system, or legendary duos Sly and Robbie or Steely and Clevie, it doesn't matter -- it's always predictably tight, fresh Dancehall.

<description><![CDATA[Perfectly summarizing the fractious world of Jamaican Dancehall, Super Cat (aka the Wild Apache) works an aggressive style that combines his undeniable talent on the mic with backing tracks that apply hip-hop methodology to the rhythms of Reggae. While his lyrics are often politically aware, he also shares some rappers' problems with not practicing what they preach -- his is a conscious gangster, if there can be such a thing. As with much dance music, though, it is Super Cat's diamond-hard productions that have built his reputation.

<description><![CDATA[Before he was tragically killed by an exploding gas canister, Garnett Silk seemed on the brink of international success. He was adept at mixing styles: with his booming yet sleek vocals, he sang of romance and social issues with equal ease.

<description><![CDATA[Raised on the island of St. Vincent, Kevin Lyttle immersed himself in local music at a young age, and started writing his own songs at 14. Inspired by the traditional soca sound as well as American hits (especially Michael Jackson), he performed in various talent shows around the Caribbean, honing his skills and working on new material. In 2001, he teamed up with a local producer and recorded "Turn Me On," a super-slick party jam that blurred the lines between soca, dancehall, R&B and pop. The song was a huge success locally, and soon spread all over Europe, hitting the top of the charts in France, the U.K., Belgium, Denmark, Germany and several other countries. Lyttle's self-titled debut dropped in the summer of 2004.

<description><![CDATA[Sugar Minott got his nickname in the 1970s, thanks to his sweet voice and the prodigious talent that led him to form his first group, African Brothers. Lured over to the Jamaican hit factory Studio One, Minott made his reputation there as a lyricist, improvising hit songs over classic reggae riddims. Success led him to set up his own production company, Youth Promotion/Black Roots, which enabled him to work with youth in the ghettos of Kingston. His independent spirit angered the Jamaican music industry, however, and he had relocated to the U.K. by the '80s; he subsequently became a star there with his smooth Lovers Rock style. His prolific output over the years includes cover versions of classic Soul songs (to which his talent is perfectly suited), as well as harder-edged Dancehall. His voice is already immortalized in reggae's consciousness, but the social conscience that guides his songwriting and production is another mark of distinction.

<description><![CDATA[Moderately successful on their own, the unique combination of Chaka Demus' gruff voice and Pliers' sweet sing-jay style has made them amongst the best-selling Reggae artists ever. Skillfully spicing their stepping tracks with pop vibes, they've developed a sound that works equally well in the dancehalls of Jamaica and the R&B clubs of London.

<description><![CDATA[Many avid fans of Black Uhuru consider their days with Mykal Rose at the helm as the band's best, and it's no wonder. His singing and writing on songs such as "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" and "Sinsemilla" are some of the best songs Black Uhuru ever produced. Leaving the band for rest and "farming," Rose has since returned with several solo outings featuring his classic waterhouse vocals, which is a wailing style of singing rife with conscious themes. Adding Hip-Hop and Dancehall influences to his Roots and Pop-Reggae hits has modernized his sound, but work with classic producers Sly & Robbie and Niney the Observer has kept his tracks rooted to tradition by recalling the classic singers of the late 1070's. A fiery live concert may be the best place to catch him bursting into a tenor moan with heaps of Jamaican Soul.
