Over the last few years, dancehall has seen several new faces who have joined the industry to play their role in maintaining the musical culture.
However, on the reggae side of things, up-and-coming reggae artistes appear to have a much tougher go at becoming household names.
While dancehall has seen the rise of artistes like Tommy Lee Sparta, Black Ryno, Popcaan, Jahvinci, Konshens, Iyara, Pattex, Shawn Storm, I Octane, and Flexx, and despite the re-emergence of reggae bands, roots reggae has only managed to showcase a few new artistes.
Artistes like Protoje, Rootz Underground, and Iba Mahr come to mind readily.
