Well with DJ Khaled returning to Jamaica and Drake touching down for Unruly concert this weekend, Jamaica continues to be the home of Dancehall and Reggae vibes worldwide that the for which the world's top Pop and Hip Hop artists make aa pilgrimage for influnce and inspiration.
But hold on wait a minute thats not the biggest music in the world right now, would you have guessed "Reggaeton". Reggaeton a music style which originated in Puerto Rico during the late 1990s and is now enjoying real mainstream recognition, starting from last year with the uber succesful"Despacito" the music is a fusion of reggae, latin music and dancehall music with vocals include rapping and singing, typically in Spanish.
Associated Press calls it the Best Song of 2018, probably not so familar in English Speaking Jamaica but trust dis ya tune BIG. the song is X ( Equis) by Nicky Jam and J Balvin. 1.4 B as in Billions views onYoutube, if you have any doubts on the Jamaican influence just watch the dance moves , the wardrobe and the look and feel of the video very similar to Sean Paul's "Im still in Love with You"and Drake's "Hotline Bling" .
The tune is Maaaad Sick.
