6. Voice Note (Bigga Dondon Records)
Perhaps a title Vybz Kartel is all too familiar with at the moment – it’s hard to keep from moving when he hits this beat and his flow on “Key Stone” is one of the baddest of the year. Voice Note also saw the return of Shawn Storm with his hilarious track on exactly why he was “Calling,” but the stand out song came from Kartel’s two sons and their group PG-13. We first heard Little Vybz and Little Addi in 2014 and it was cute, but they showed us how much they’ve improved on the track “Radio” this year where they sing the praises of music and its importance to them – while also managing to diss Popcaan, who their dad has been angry with for a while. Tune into Voice Note to see what the future of dancehall may hold. – DJ Arems
