Keen to discover who’s making an impression on the international reggae scene today, and who’s shaping up to forge a bright path into tomorrow? Well, you’re in luck — here’s where you get to put your ear to the ground and find out what’s happening next, as we bring together the latest sugar-voiced crooners, and the grittiest gravel-throated ragga rappers, in one Rising Stars: Reggae Essentials playlist. Whether you prefer the easy, breezy summer vibe of the Holdup and Sadiki, the standout syllable-crunching of Aidonia and Sir Ford, the righteous Rasta love of Protoje (together with Ky-Mani Marley), or the various international artists who’ve made their names outside of Jamaica, you’re sure to find the best batch of reggae heat-seekers you could ask for right here.
