I already mentioned this on the Bunji Garlin "Differentology" thread, but I really love this melancholy comedown:

and this imperious viking call to arms:

also just realized I never posted Dye Dye here (this couldn't be much more NSFW, even the nominally clean version):

my favourite dancehall of the year, in no particular order:

agent sasco - tell ununh
aidonia - fi di jockey
blak ryno - #1 stunna
denyque - all night long
konshens - drink and rave
lea-anna - find my love
popcaan - unruly rave
samantha j -tight skirt
stylo g - soundbwoy
tommy lee - maniac
vybz kartel - hi

I'll heartily cosign that whole list and add:

chronixx - odd ras & here comes trouble
ninjaman - dawg nyam yuh supper
tifa - lyrically educated
macka diamond - dye dye
qq - ghetto gal
j capri and konshens - pull up to mi bumper
vybz kartel - school
shy fx - soon come
denyque - make me believe you

glad someone here likes that Samantha J track. I posted that to my women-in-dancehall tumblr and picked up like 100 teenaged followers.

i have to thank you rob, i'm pretty sure my first listen to most of those tracks came as a result of your posts on this thread.

i cosign those tracks in your list, many of them nearly made my list.
