3. Burna Boy
Africa has become one of the biggest markets for Jamaican music recently: could one of reggae or dancehall’s next big stars could hail from the mother continent? Nigerian deejay Burna Boy‘s music isn’t expressly dancehall, but rather a fusion of many different elements—his latest single, “Tonight,” is a tri-lingual house tune. But a distinct bashment flavor runs through his catalog, most notably on his breakout hit/summer anthem “Like to Party.”
