13. Marcy Chin
Ward 21 have a knack for finding talent, especially of the female variety. They gave us TNT—Tifa, Natalie Storm, Timberlee—each among modern dancehall’s most skilled lady deejays. Suku, Kunley McCarthy and Mean Dog’s latest female find is Marcy Chin, who’s turned up on some of the most interesting tunes from Ward 21’s Badda Badda Gang lately, including Deewunn’s “Bunx Up,” Ward’s “Mic Magician,” as well as several tunes on Dutty Fowl, one of our picks for 2013’s top riddims, and her own “Body Able.” For more Marcy, check Ward 21, Federation Sound + DJ Autograph’s Hello Again mixtape. —Jesse Serwer
