Dancehall and reggae sometimes cross paths and this Busy Signal song is a go to on the way to the airport. It has some bad words, so do not listen to it if you try and find offense in everything.

Love mi sum Aggrolittes

[SoloTraveller]

Tons of songs by the Clash:

Rudy Can't fail (about Jamaican kids in London)
Safe European Home (About the violence they encountered in Kingston in the late 70s)

There are probably 20 songs with explicit JA references. Clash loved Jamaica!

Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis(not a classic)-It was always playing at the pool at Travellers our first trip and I can hear it, close my eyes and I'm in the grotto.
