10 Caribbean Artist That You Should Listen To

Music! A way to clear your head, get you pumped, and just in general an all around good thing. There are many different types of music and artists, but when it comes to the Caribbean there are those who are the best. I want to put it out there that most of the artists I am about to name are Dancehall artists and not Reggae (there is a difference). However, they all make the absolute best music ever for their category and trust me, you will not be disappointed. So without any more delay here are my top 10 favorite Caribbean artists of all time.

#10 RDX

Coming in at number 10 we have the duo that call themselves RDX. I have them at number 10 because they are really good and their music is fun--for the most part. But, I don't know a lot of their songs. The songs I do know though, get me dancing all the time. Check them out you will like them!

#9 Sean Paul

Do I even need to go into why I love Sean Paul? He is awesome and no one can deny it. If for some reason you have never heard a Sean Paul song I suggest you do so quickly because he is amazing.

#8 Sean Kingston

These beautiful girls only wanted to do him dirt! Though I am not sure what happened to him, he is still a favorite of mine.

#7 Brick and Lace

Now a lot of you may not have heard about Brick and Lace but the these two women are really good. I'm not sure if they are still making new music, but you should listen to "Love is Wicked"--I am sure it will have you hooked.

#6 Jah Cure

Jah Cure is amazing, and he appeals to a lot of people. Check him out you will not be disappointed!

#5 Machel Montano

Machel is a Trinidadian Soca artist who can get you whining low to the floor. They really call him Mr. Fete so check out his music.

#4 Bunji Garlin

Coming in at number four is Bunji. This man and his wife, Fay-ann, know how to make good music. (I'm just going to leave it at that) Check them out!

#3 Popcaan

In third place we have the one and only--Popcaan. He is definitely one of the few artists that I know a lot of songs by. I love his music because it is very diverse, and just all around great!

#2 Bob Marley

Though he is in number two on this list, he is a number one singer in Reggae. He will always be the best.

#1 Vybz Kartel

Kartel has a special place in my heart because he is what I grew up with, and he will always be the best to me. Many may disagree but oh well!

These are only a few of the many Caribbean artists that are out there.These are my absolute favorites. Do not let my list limit you, however, look up other songs and see what other artists you may like. Go forth and be Caribbean!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
