Listen to Reggae

In the early 2000s, American radio was hungry for new sounds, and one of the most successful crossover acts was a young man from Jamaica who had once—improbably—been a professional water polo player. Sean Paul, born Sean Paul Francis Henriques in Kingston in 1973, had left sports to take up the microphone in the mid-’90s, developing a driving, authoritative sound anchored by his surprisingly accessible and monotonal toasting. Even if you couldn’t decipher the patois, you got the gist of his sentiments, which fell somewhere between “Get on the dance floor” and “I love girls.” His first album, 2000’s Stage One, earned him some recognition, collecting singles dating from 1996, but it was 2002’s Dutty Rock that pushed him into global superstardom, with the huge hits “Get Busy” (an eternal dance-floor filler that, two decades later, found a new audience on TikTok) and “Gimme the Light”. In 2005, The Trinity cemented the singer’s status as the dancehall collaborator for artists like Beyoncé and Rihanna. Though he charted less as the decade progressed, he continued to release his trademark boundary-crossing music and experienced a resurgence in 2016 with several massively successful collaborations, including “Cheap Thrills” with Sia and “No Lie” with Dua Lipa. The world, it seemed, had caught back up to Sean Paul. As dancehall riddims inspired reggaetón, infiltrated Afrobeats and even influenced pop artists like Justin Bieber and Drake in the ensuing years, Paul found himself again in demand, giving star turns on tracks with artists including Migos and J Balvin.

Jack Johnson has released seven studio albums and two live albums that have sold over 25 million copies worldwide. His Brushfire Records label and touring crew continue to be leaders in the greening of the music industry and his All At Once social action network connects fans with local non-profits at each tour stop. Jack, with his wife Kim, founded the Kokua Hawaii Foundation to support environmental education in Hawaii's schools and communities, as well as the Johnson Ohana Foundation to support environmental, art and music education worldwide. The latest album from Jack Johnson, "Meet The Moonlight" (produced by Blake Mills) opens on a question about the strange complexities of human nature, and never lets up on its heartfelt push for deeper understanding. Over the course of ten captivating and endlessly unpredictable tracks, the multi-platinum-selling singer/songwriter examines a whole spectrum of existential concerns (the impermanence of life and fragility of human connection, the struggle for community and presence in an ever-fragmenting world), infusing each inquiry with the profound warmth and poetic grace that have always permeated his music. His eighth studio album and first new full-length in five years, Meet The Moonlight ultimately affirms Johnson as an essential voice in elevating our perspective and subtly guiding us toward a more expansive state of mind.

The only certified Diamond-selling Dancehall Reggae artist.

Stick Figure emerged from the coastal town of Duxbury, Massachusetts, as the creative vision of multi-instrumentalist Scott Woodruff. Crafting his unique blend of roots reggae and dub, Woodruff began by layering each instrument and vocal track himself, creating a rich, immersive soundscape that resonated with listeners. This DIY ethos led to the release of several albums, including The Sound of My Addiction and Burial Ground, establishing Stick Figure's presence in the reggae scene. Relocating to California, Woodruff expanded Stick Figure into a full band, bringing his studio creations to life on stage. The live ensemble features Kevin "KBong" Bong on keyboards, Kevin Offitzer on drums, Tommy Suliman on bass, Johnny Cosmic handling guitar and keyboards, and Will Phillips on percussion. Together, they've captivated audiences at major festivals like Bonnaroo, Levitate, and California Roots, delivering performances that blend tight musicianship with an infectious energy. Beyond the music, Stick Figure's journey is marked by a commitment to authenticity and community. Their independently released albums, such as Set in Stone, World on Fire, and Wisdom, showcase a dedication to crafting meaningful, resonant music without compromise. Accompanied by Cocoa the Tour Dog, the band's loyal canine companion, Stick Figure continues to spread positive vibrations, inviting listeners into their ever-growing family of fans.

Rvssian is a Jamaican producer, singer, songwriter, and label owner who’s worked with a variety of dancehall and reggaeton artists, including Farruko, Sean Paul, and Vybz Kartel. ∙ Born Tarik Johnston, Rvssian is the son of Jamaican producer and label owner Michael “Micron” Johnston, and he learned to play keyboards and drums from his father. ∙ He formed his Head Concussion Records label in 2007, and his first production project, 2008’s “Liberty Riddim,” was used on several tracks, including Konshens’ hit “Ago Kill Me.” ∙ “Life Sweet,” his 2009 collaboration with Vybz Kartel, was his first big production hit in Jamaica. ∙ “Passion Whine,” his 2014 collaboration with Farruko and Sean Paul, reached No. 10 on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart and sold more than a million copies. ∙ In 2018, he collaborated with J Balvin and Farruko on the international smash “Ponle,” a No. 4 hit on Billboard’s Latin Digital Sales chart.

As wickedly talented as he is controversial, Vybz Kartel has worked hard to ensure that Jamaican music remained the lifeblood of so much hip-hop and R&B. The fact that he’s continued to do it from behind prison bars is one of the many twists in a tumultuous saga that began in 1976, when the dancehall star was born Adidja Azim Palmer in the town of Portmore, Jamaica. After taking his more famous handle from the name of his early group, Vybz Cartel, and writing for Bounty Killer, Kartel scored many hits of his own through the 2000s. He developed a reputation both for formidably fierce lyrical battles with rivals like Mavado and songs about sex and romance like “Romping Shop,” a steamy 2010 duet with Spice. With his Auto-Tune-enhanced vocals and genius for hooks, Kartel put his own stamp on the hottest of riddims. But as Kartel’s appearances on tracks such as Rihanna’s “What’s My Name” and Major Lazer’s “Pon de Floor” boosted his international profile, his troubles at home in Jamaica intensified, leading to his life imprisonment for a 2014 murder conviction. Rather than end his story, Kartel’s incarceration has done little to impede his productivity or his skills, judging by his masterful 2016 album King of the Dancehall, his thrilling collaborations with Busta Rhymes, and his countless fresh disses for his musical rivals.

Following his breakout in 2020, Skillibeng became one of Jamaica’s brightest young dancehall stars. ∙ Adopting the name Skillibeng—a reference to vintage dancehall slang from the ’80s and ’90s—he debuted in 2015 with the track “Brain Parts.” ∙ His first major hit was 2019’s “Brik Pan Brik,” which he followed with such hugely popular tracks as “Mr. Universe” and “Torpedo.” ∙ Skillibeng guested on “Bad Gyal,” a song from iconic dancehall MC Vybz Kartel’s 2020 LP, Of Dons & Divas. ∙ Dancehall star Popcaan, who hails from the same parish in Jamaica, invited Skillibeng to feature on the 2020 single “Have It,” and returned the favor by guesting on the young artist’s track “Pree.” ∙ The music video for 2021 anthem “Coke” courted controversy with its footage of Skillibeng performing inside the wreckage of a plane that had suspiciously crashed on the island.

The youngest son of Reggae legend Bob Marley, Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley garnered his own place in music history when he became the first ever Reggae artist to win a GRAMMY outside of the “Reggae” category, taking home an award for “Best Urban/Alternative” performance for his title single, “Welcome To Jamrock”. The acclaimed 2005 breakthrough disc Welcome To Jamrock, also won a GRAMMY for “Best Reggae” Album. Marley has been shaking up stages all over the world for the past few years, first in collaboration with Nas on their Distant Relatives project, and then when he went on to partner with Skrillex for their groundbreaking track “Make It Bun Dem,” which Rolling Stone called “a monster mash up of dubstep and dancehall.” Marley’s latest album Stony Hill won the 2018 GRAMMY Award in the Best Reggae Album category. Additionally, Damian appeared on Saturday Night Live alongside Jay Z to perform their stand out track “Bam,” and he is also featured on Ty Dolla $ign’s acclaimed track “So Am I” with Skrillex. Most recently, Damian released the remix and music video for his single “Medication” featuring Stephen Marley, Wiz Khalifa and Ty Dolla $ign.

Globally acclaimed Queen of Dancehall Spice represents the authentic spirit of dancehall culture. She has been a cultural ambassador for the entire Caribbean for over two decades internationally. Gaining recognition after earning her first co-sign in the genre from Bounty Killa in 1998. After engaging in a lyrical exchange amongst several of dancehall’s prominent male deejays on spot at a community stage show in Portmore, Jamaica. Impressed with how lyrically inclined she was, the deejay told her she reminded him of the former queen and that she was up next to be the genre’s leading lady. From there she began to attend local stage shows and street dances which allowed her to prove herself a force to reckon with and here to stay. Her first hit single, "Fight Over Man" released in 2004, gained an immense amount of rotation further cementing her space in the genre. Spice's impact extends far beyond the borders of Jamaica, reaching dancehall aficionados across the globe. She has also been cited as one of diamond selling American rapper Cardi B's Influences and Inspirations. Her musical catalog include collaborations with international superstars Queen of Rap Nicki Minaj, Busta Rhymes Sean Paul, Missy Elliott, Kid Ink, Jeremih, Mýa, Shaggy, and many more. In 2021, her debut “10” album was nominated for Best Reggae Album of the Year at the 63rd Annual Grammys. Making Spice the first and hardcore female artist to earn a solo Grammy nomination ever in that category.

The Ocean Beach, CA-based band formed by multi-instrumentalists Kyle McDonald and Miles Doughty has matured into a versatile musical ensemble consisting of drummer Ryan “Rymo” Moran; percussionist Oguer “OG” Ocon; saxophonist Daniel “Dela” Delacruz; keyboardist Paul Wolstencroft; trumpet and trombone player Andy Geib, and an arsenal of guests that frequent the stage, most notably Karl Denson (Rolling Stones/Greyboy Allstars), Don Carlos, Chali 2na (Jurassic 5) and Rashawn Ross (Dave Matthews Band). An eclectic band when it comes to musical styles as well as collaborations, Slightly Stoopid, now in their second decade of making music, continues to manufacture an energizing & multifaceted sound that has been described as “a spiritual bath of positive party energy.”

Since 2001, Dirty Heads have mixed hip-hop, reggae, and rock to create a unique sound that both fully embodies their Southern California roots and resonates with audiences around the globe.  The band’s global appeal reached new heights in 2021, when their hit “Vacation” (originally released in 2017) garnered over six billion views and streams across social media via the ubiquitous #VacationTransition challenge that originated organically with users on TikTok. The song, with an increase of 850% in consumption on Spotify in the past year, took on a new life in many ways, introducing Dirty Heads to new international fans by the millions.  The band also released their highly anticipated 8th studio album Midnight Control in August 2022 which features 10 all-new songs including their take on Joe Walsh’s 1978 hit “Life’s Been Good.” “Life’s Been Good” proved to be another quick hit as it remained #3 on BDS for multiple weeks in a row. This was followed by the deluxe version of the album released in July of 2024.

Konshens is the voice behind many of the biggest dancehall anthems of all-time. A specialist in so-called gyal tunes, hits like “Gal a Bubble” and “Bruk Off Yuh Back” are absolute essentials of the genre, capable of sending dancers into a frenzy the moment they play in a party. But there’s more to Konshens than one sound. As collaborations with Nipsey Hussle, The Chainsmokers, Cardi B, Major Lazer, Rick Ross, Nicky Jam, Doja Cat, Enrique Iglesias, E-40, Eve, Jamie XX, Farruko, Pitbull and Clean Bandit attest, he’s an artist whose talents can’t be boxed in. A constant presence in the Caribbean music space for the last decade.

Sheff G and his right-hand man, Sleepy Hallow, didn’t initially get off on the right foot. Raised in the same Brooklyn neighborhood, Sheff G (born Michael Williams in 1998) was the schoolyard rival of Hallow (Tegan Chambers), and the two frequently came to blows. But once Williams saw that Chambers wasn’t willing to back down, he knew he had a lifelong friend. “I’ve known Sleepy since I was 12. I used to go up to his school to fight. Our names started ringing bells and eventually we had to throw down,” Sheff G explained to Apple Music. “He was with it, though! This kid’s different. We were cool after that.” Despite getting to know each other as backyard brawlers, Sheff and Sleepy have become the chief architects of Brooklyn’s post-drill landscape. Their bars are melodic and flow like a cascading waterfall, and the beats are laced with acoustic guitars and echoing, booming drums. Though Sheff and Sleepy do a number of songs together, the former has proven himself an impressive solo artist. On “No Suburban, Pt. 2” off 2020’s One and Only, G’s infectious hook carries the tune, begging to be blared from cars cruising Brooklyn streets. Sheff G is at his best when he taps into his emotions, and a song like “Weight On Me” from the same album proves that his most personal bars are often his best. The song, which features Sleepy Hallow, is an ode to G’s mother. “A lot of people don’t get to the point where they can make amends for reckless behavior,” Sheff G told Apple Music. “I’m telling my mom I can carry her now.”

In 2009, the band topped the Billboard Reggae Chart for the first of what would be seven consecutive #1 reggae records; and in 2017, they garnered a GRAMMY nomination for Best Reggae Album. Rebelution’s transcendent live performances have earned the group sell-out headline shows across the United States along with festival slots at Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Coachella, Glastonbury, and more.

Inspired by what he calls “jheri curl soul” music, R&B singer Maxwell became a driving force in the late-’90s neo-soul movement. • A disciple of early-’80s R&B, the Brooklyn native taught himself to play multiple instruments and began composing music at 17. • By 1991, Maxwell had broken into the New York City nightclub circuit. In between performances, he was writing and recording hundreds of songs to develop his catalog. • Two years after signing to Columbia Records, Maxwell released his 1996 debut album, Maxwell’s Urban Hang Suite. The LP lived on the Billboard 200 for over a year and eventually went double platinum. • Maxwell earned mixed reviews with his 1998 sophomore effort, Embrya, a groove-heavy neo-soul album that struck some critics as unfocused. • His third and fourth albums, 2001’s Now and 2009’s BLACKsummers'night, both peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. • The singer returned after a seven-year absence with 2016’s blackSUMMERS'night, the second installment of a planned trilogy. • Maxwell’s lyrical prowess and deep understanding of song composition afforded him the unique luxury of creative control that many of his label-affiliated peers did not have.
