Reggae Gold 2013 is the ultimate reggae music compilation, featuring the biggest hits and crucial crossover tracks of the year plus a bonus disc of 10 reggae classics.
For nearly two decades, VP Records have compiled the best-selling Reggae Gold compilation. With the increasing popularity of reggae and dancehall in the music mainstream, Reggae Gold 2013 is jammed with the world’s hottest hits – featuring both Jamaica's biggest artists and acts from around the globe who have been influenced by the Caribbean.
The set kicks off with rap-star-turned-Rastafarian Snoop Lion's reggae-influenced “Lighters Up” featuring vocals from Kingston's dancehall don Mavado and rising star Popcaan, before dropping Major Lazer's “Jah No Partial” with legendary Jamaican vocalist Johnny Osbourne. Fans also get a first listen to “One Shot” from singer-songwriter Angela Hunte (co-writer of Jay Z's Grammy-winning “Empire State of Mind”).
Native Jamaicans anchor Reggae Gold 2013 with the most popular dancehall, roots & culture and lover's rock hits. Multi-platinum artist Sean Paul returns to the dance floor with his club anthem “Body” and a new crop of Jamaican artists keep everyone moving – Konshens on the sizzling single “Bad Girl” and I-Octane on the steamy “Gal Gimme Bun.” Grammy-winning Shaggy and legendary crooner Beres Hammond turn up the romance on “Fight This Feeling,” while Queen Ifrica lets loose on “Let's Get Silly” and Etana & Busy Signal talk “Love, Love, Love.”
All this before the bonus disc featuring Yellowman's oft sampled “Zungguzungguzungguzeng,” and nine other bangers.
Not just another regae compilation, Reggae Gold 2013 bridges the gap between the island of Jamaica and the rest of the world.
