2. Vybz Kartel, “Mhm Hm”

Mhm Hm!! Vybz Kartel’s reign over dancehall seems to have no end in sight and, in a year full of pugnacious musical competition, the World Boss once again reigned supreme. “Mhm Hm” sent dancers into a frenzy, the #Gazanation into jubilation and men worldwide into the market to get their oats, Supligen, nuts and nutmeg. We can’t confirm it, but the lyric “Get a gyal and go get yuh children” is also rumored to be a subliminal diss towards a fellow DJ who has yet to become a father. “Mhm Hm” has been a fireball since its release in September, and is currently getting the biggest forwards of the night in any dancehall, and, as any Kartel fan knows, dancehall cyan stall.
