2003’s Def Jamaica album was a true fusion of dancehall and reggae with hip-hop. One of the most important record labels, Def Jam brought Method Man and Redman together with Damian Marley; Beenie Man and DTP’s Shawna; Pharrell and Jay-Z with Vybz Kartel and Wayne Marshall, on a remix of the chart-topping Pharrell single “Frontin.” The result was a Grammy nominated album, and a watershed moment for dancehall and hip-hop together. Who knew Hov and Vybz had a track together?
