The 20 Best Reggae Songs of the first half of 2015
Best songs of the half-year with Kabaka Pyramid, Protoje, Bugle, Torch, Jesse Royal, Fantan Mojah, Sizzla and many more.
Sampler
We have now passed the midpoint of 2015 and that means it’s time to summarize the year so far. Below I have collected 20 reggae and dancehall favourites released this year. It’s always hard to make such a list because there’s a ton of music released each week – on vinyl, on iTunes, on Spotify and on Soundcloud. But I have yet again managed to dig deep in my archives and the list below might be of some help navigating the best releases so far this year.
All 20 tracks are of course highlights in my opinion, but a few shines a bit brighter than others, for example Torch & Bugle’s heavy Fire Man a Bun, Kabaka Pyramid’s fiercely sarcastic Well Done, Protoje & Sevana & Jesse Royal’s smooth Sudden Flight and The Wizard & Jesse Royal’s criminally catchy Raging Storm.
The list below is as usual presented in no particular order and the songs included are only singles or tracks taken from compilations.
