[Green Batty]

Hi guys, im just getting into dancehall and i was wondering what in ur opinion was the best tunes of that genre.
my favourites so far are:
Barrington levy - murderer
johnny osbourne - lineup
johnny osbourne - no ice cream sound
Let me know what you think guys!

^ i see ya like the older stuff which is great. i really dig the ice cream sound track + barrington levy is a legend.

some personal favorites, tho im not sure if u like the modern dancehall sound.

Tanto Metro and Devonte-Gal say Wooee this is my all time favorite dancehall track

ASSASSIN - HAND INA DI AIR was produced by a very young kid, stephen mcgregor aka di genius, kid makes amazing beats.

Mr. LEX - DEM A PREE ridiculous style. i feel under some haitian voodoo spell listening to it.

Mr Vegas - Heads High a classic.

whoa no joke, just looked at the time 4:20

This is probably one of my favorite tunes:

Sister Nancy - Coward of the Country

considering this track has been sampled numerous times, it might be the contender for the most popular (and possibly the best) dancehall track:

Yellowman - Zungguzungguguzungguzeng

yeah, im not a fan of that mondern sound. IMO it doesn't sound like traditional dancehall at all. I do like the Heads High by Mr. Vegas though.

Round Head - Call Me
Lexus - Cook

just a few favs off the top of my head

I've always been a reggae/dancehall head. Here are just a couple more classics. These are still played at Philly summer block parties to this day.

I'm spamming the shit out of this thread lol. But I don't care because I get excited when new people get into dancehall. I had to make a pilgrimage to Jamaica and it was everything I could have wanted and then some. Jamaican and Dominican women??? Oh helllllll yesssss.
