Here is a round up of the Reggae tunes I’ve been feeling in the last few months. A few big ones from Jah Cure who is very close to being the biggest name in the game this year. His “Call On Me” single is all I heard for a week straight when I was down in Jamaica last December. The Cure has seen great success recently with massive hits at home and abroad.

…and of course a big drop from the HOT HEAD,HOT HEAD! Busy Signal has quickly become known for his ‘refix’ tunes with him re-creating hit after hit with catchy chorus’ and sharp, quick witted verses. Doesn’t matter if the original is Drake, Katy Perry or Lady Gaga; Busy seems to just effortlessly flow over these radio anthem beats with creative and X-Rated re-works.

Busy Signal continues to be the hottest artist in the Dancehall scene. He is on fiya right now with a couple blazin new tracks on the “Indiscretions Riddim” produced by Juke Boxx Productions. Indiscretions is really chill new riddim with a catchy guitar riff at the start which is blowing up the dance across the world. These two Busy tracks show the true versatility of this artist as everyone know: Busy can flow; fast or slow.

I’ve been really feeling the new reggae coming out this year and the Indiscretions Riddim is definitely one of the hottest riddims of 2009. It is packed full with the usual suspects who dominate the dancehall circuit as well as a couple up and coming artists. Here are some of the big cuts on the riddim!
Busy Signal is coming out of the gate FAST in 2009. His new track “Spliff Tail” on the Dubwise Riddim is a fresh new ganja tune from an artist that is definitely standing out in his class of dancehall superstars. Speaking of new ganja tunes…check out the new Collie Buddz – “Herb Tree”.
Anyways…Back to Busy! Another crazy new single is “My Money”. Such a catchy chorus in this tune…just wanna play it again and again!
He gets mad vulgar up on the Miss Independent Riddim with “Tightest” (FOR THE LADIES!!!!..haha)…..
Check out these videos of Busy Signal live @ Tim Westwood Studios.
Unfortunately Lloyd is in the videos for a bit and tries to keep up but Busy just throws down a lesson in spitting crazy bars. Busy is just simply on some next level, mesmerizing melody type shit. Crazy flow!
I’ve been showing these vids to everyone I know for months now. Can’t believe the skills. HOT HEAD! HOT HEAD!…
Busy Signal had a huge year in 2008 and he is already gaining steam in 2009. The Jamaican deejay has incredible flow and it seems this guy has a million different styles. Growing up in the notorious Cassava Piece ghetto of Kingston he has come from the “gully side” as he would put it. Busy has that unmistakeable authenticity to what he is singing about and you cant help but listen when he delivers his verses with bone chilling sincerity.
The Baddazz Riddim is the latest dancehall creation from Christopher Birch. Some are claiming this riddim to be a re-work of the classic Joyride Riddim. Re-work or not, this is definitely a dancefloor smasher as the catchy upbeat bassline is just going to make you move, plain and simple.
I put together a 10 minute riddim mix showcasing what I feel are the strongest artists on the riddim.
