8. Chronixx-Ghetto People/Play Some Roots
It was a quiet year musically for Chronixx (at least until a week ago, when he dropped off the explosive dancehall track “Sell My Gun”) with the singjay staying out on the road and presumably stocking up songs for his upcoming album. Though none attained the acclaim of last year’s crop, the “Ghetto People” on Damian Marley’s On the Corner riddim and the bluesy “Play Some Roots” on Silly Walks’ Ram Jam riddim showcased the artist’s continued growth, and a wisdom that defies his relative youthfulness. (He’s still just 22.) — Jesse Serwer
