All good suggestions! Keep them coming!
I like all the artists mentioned so far. Also love Dennis Brown. "Rain from the Skies" and "Wolves and Leopards" are a couple of great ones!
I love all the classic artists mentioned but there is a lot of really good newer reggae music also. Morgan Heritage, Luciano, Tarrus Riley, Etana, Queen Ifrica, Gyptian, Protoje, I-Wayne and on and on. Enough with the slackness, good music and conscious message are returning to the reggae mainstream!
