he founded that has done for reggae music what Motown Records did
for R&B.
Most influential in reggae ? Was it Bob Marley ? Coxsone Dodd [Studio One]
? Peter Tosh [Wailers] ? Chris Blackwell [Island Records - took Bob
international] ? Let your vote count !! It's official !! Sean Paul was
our reader's choice as the dancehall artist of 2003 !!

over a year, Vybz Kartel released the much anticipated debut album, "Up 2 Di

transition of Tanya Stephens from bad gyal DJ to conscious lyricist is
complete. We take some time to feature Tanya and the good tings she a gwaan
