Music! A way to clear your head, get you pumped, and just in general an all around good thing. There are many different types of music and artists, but when it comes to the Caribbean there are those who are the best. I want to put it out there that most of the artists I am about to name are Dancehall artists and not Reggae (there is a difference). However, they all make the absolute best music ever for their category and trust me, you will not be disappointed. So without any more delay here are my top 10 favorite Caribbean artists of all time.
#10 RDX
Coming in at number 10 we have the duo that call themselves RDX. I have them at number 10 because they are really good and their music is fun--for the most part. But, I don't know a lot of their songs. The songs I do know though, get me dancing all the time. Check them out you will like them!
#9 Sean Paul
Do I even need to go into why I love Sean Paul? He is awesome and no one can deny it. If for some reason you have never heard a Sean Paul song I suggest you do so quickly because he is amazing.
#8 Sean Kingston
These beautiful girls only wanted to do him dirt! Though I am not sure what happened to him, he is still a favorite of mine.
#7 Brick and Lace
Now a lot of you may not have heard about Brick and Lace but the these two women are really good. I'm not sure if they are still making new music, but you should listen to "Love is Wicked"--I am sure it will have you hooked.
#6 Jah Cure
Jah Cure is amazing, and he appeals to a lot of people. Check him out you will not be disappointed!
#5 Machel Montano
Machel is a Trinidadian Soca artist who can get you whining low to the floor. They really call him Mr. Fete so check out his music.
#4 Bunji Garlin
Coming in at number four is Bunji. This man and his wife, Fay-ann, know how to make good music. (I'm just going to leave it at that) Check them out!
#3 Popcaan
In third place we have the one and only--Popcaan. He is definitely one of the few artists that I know a lot of songs by. I love his music because it is very diverse, and just all around great!
#2 Bob Marley
Though he is in number two on this list, he is a number one singer in Reggae. He will always be the best.
#1 Vybz Kartel
Kartel has a special place in my heart because he is what I grew up with, and he will always be the best to me. Many may disagree but oh well!
These are only a few of the many Caribbean artists that are out there.These are my absolute favorites. Do not let my list limit you, however, look up other songs and see what other artists you may like. Go forth and be Caribbean!
