This video by Ms. Triniti is kinda hot. Its nothing new that we haven’t seen before but she does do a good job of showcasing some of the island and show some good beach shots. I’m not sure if she’s Jamaican or not because her accent sounds a little put on. What do you guys think?
The three men that make up the group Voicemail has achieved reggae proclaim for the high energy music and hits that are just fun and friendly to listen to.

Shabba Ranksis arguably one of the most noted artists that has come out of Jamaica in a long time. If you say the name Shabba to ANYONE they will know at least one of his many hits. He has hits in all decades ranging from Ting a Ling, Dem Bowand of course the chart topper, Trailer Load. Reminisce with me as we watch my favorite Shabba video, Slow and Sexy with Johnny Gill.

This is a performace of Movado performing his hit, Gangster for Life in 2006 at a local club in Atlanta. The performance was hot and he did his thing as usual. Can’t wait for more hits from the man that revived reggae in 2007!!!
RanJa is an up and coming reggae artist with alot of promise. Lookout for more things to come from him in the near future.
Shinehead has been on the scene for as long as I can remember. I remember being 5 or 6 and listening to my uncles blast “who the cap fits, let them wear it”. Do you remember that jam…well if not you need to get up on your dancehall music ASAP. Anyway, so almost 22 years later and he’s back with this hit, Jamaican in New York. Its not getting much play yet, but i’m sure it’ll be blazing the airwaves soon enough.
Boring Gal was the first single and first video off the “Gully Sitn” album which dropped in August.
Though this hot one came out in April its still rocking and topping the charts in the UK. The song is hot, the lyrics are hot and the video is even HOTTER!!!!

The success of Footprints has been huge. The heartfelt song served as a tribute to all the victims of violence. The single has been identified as a vehicle of healing, for the band and all the people, who have lost loved ones to the war plaguing the streets of Jamaica.
