Various - Soul Jazz Records Presents ‘100% Dynamite NYC’ Volume 2

From the 1980s onwards, New York developed
its own dancehall and soundclash scene away
from Jamaica.
· Nearly all the artists involved were first and
second-generation Jamaicans living in New York
who took both reggae and hip hop as their points
of reference. Starting with the first ever DJ and
inventor of hip hop, Jamaican-born Kool Herc,
artists have continued to join the dots. This
underground scene led to a number of artists
becoming famous – Shaggy, Shinehead, Fu
Schnickens - but many of the artists featured
here remain unknown except to hardcore NYC
dancehall fans.
· ‘100% Dynamite NYC’ features a stellar line-up
of New York / Jamaica’s finest – everyone from
Kenny Dope to Supercat and a heavyweight
selection of the finest reggae / dancehall / hip hop
tunes you will ever hear.
