editorial 

Welcome to the September edition of the Global Reggae Charts magazine! 

The European festival season is coming to an end. When looking back on the past weeks and 

months, we can see that, at least in Europe, the reggae festivals – and festivals in general – are still 

booming. While club shows and tours for reggae artists tend to get harder year by year, summer 

vibes, reggae, and the event character of a music festival seem to be a very successful combination. 

But is this true everywhere in the world, or is it just the European perspective? And even in 

Europe, this might not be true in every country. In this issue of the GRC magazine, MissLee from 

MzansiReggae gives some insight into the scene in South Africa, her work with MzansiReggae, 

and her view on reggae on the African continent. We did similar specials before and think, that this 

could be something worth extending in the future. The “global” in Global Reggae Charts shouldn’t 

just refer to the heritage of the voters, but in the same way, it should give an idea of what’s happening 

in reggae around the world. We only have 20 positions on the charts and the voter base 

these days is too small to think about regional charts, we established the “New Reggae Releases” 

playlist on Spotify a while ago where we try to reflect global releases that can be considered as 

reggae or from the Jamaican music continuum. Maybe columns about different reggae markets 

around the world could be an enrichment for the magazine and help to strengthen the global 

perspective of the project - we would love to get your view on this topic, and in case you would be 

interested in contributing a column about reggae in your country or region, you are very welcome 

to link us at info@globalreggaecharts.com. 

Looking at this issue of the GRC magazine again, we have Reemah from the island of St. Croix, US 

Virgin Islands, as our featured artist. Her latest album went straight to #10 on the album charts and 

we consider her well worth this honor. Also, as usual, we feature one of our voters with a small 

interview in this issue. This time it’s DJ PhG from Caribbean Dance Radio in Northern California, 

USA. And finally, of course, you can find all the latest chart positions in the categories “Best Single”, 

“Best Album”, and “Best Riddim”. 

Now we wish you an interesting study of the charts and the magazine. 

All the best, 

Felix

INTERVIEW 

This month we talked to DJ PhG from Caribbean Dance 

Radio in Northern California, USA. He presents his show 

on local radio stations and across the web. 

Global Reggae Charts: Can you please introduce 

yourself and your radio show! 

DJ PhG: Greetings Global Reggae Charts massive, 

First off thank you for Felix and Boomrush for the 

opportunity. 

I am DJ PhG and I am the host of Caribbean Dance 

Radio. Caribbean Dance Radio is a weekly podcast 

and radio show. We are based in Northern California 

and spread our sound across the world. Staples of 

the program are “Riddim of the Week” where we 

feature and highlight a brand new riddim and the 

“Boom Tune of the Week”, a stand out song from the 

previous episode. 

GRC: How did you get into the radio and what was 

– and is – your motivation? 

DJ PhG: I found a love for radio at a young age as 

I would turn the radio on before I fell asleep every 

night. I find the performance factor of being on the 

radio engaging and enthralling. 

I didn‘t begin playing on the radio until the age of 

23. Before then I had been playing at house parties 

and clubs playing mainstream music and mixing in 

as much reggae and dancehall as possible. A friend 

asked, “did you know that there was a Reggae radio 

show in town?”, and from the there I went to the 

radio station to learn more. I had my first radio show 

2 months soon after. From there I began creating a 

podcast version of the radio program to play selections 

aimed at a global demographic. 

I work in broadcasting because I love the art of 

“radio”. It is a different performance style than club 

DJing or sound clashing. It allows for insightful pontifications 

and humorous banter from a lone man in 

the studio to the world surrounding him. 

GRC: What spectrum of music do you play in your 

show? 

DJ PhG: My programs focus on the modern output 

of music in the reggae and dancehall genre. Whether 

it‘s the hottest new riddim or an up-and-coming 

artist we do our best to curate a fluid, forward thinking 

program. I enjoy introducing new artists and 

songs to my audience. 

Artists range from Alkaline, Mortimer, Lila Ike, Govana, 

Vybz Kartel, Aidonia, Jesse Royal, Protoje, 

Chronixxx, Vybz Kartel, Shenseea, Stylo G, Aza 

Lineage, Micah Shemaiah, and of course many more.

GRC: As a voter on the Global Reggae Charts – 

what is your motivation and after what criteria do 

you choose your votes? 

DJ PhG: As a voter on the Global Reggae Charts, 

some of my votes go to the hidden gems that I feel 

are unrepresented. But sometimes a big tune is just 

that, a BIG TUNE, so it will get my vote. 

It‘s all about the feeling that the song gives me. If I 

think about a song and a smile spontaneously goes 

across my face, that‘s a good song. 

GRC: Which artists have you found most inspiring 

lately? 

DJ PhG: Mortimer. He has a voice that has a soulful 

expression from the heart. I enjoy the patterns he 

creates and his singing style.

Reemah 

Roots reggae music has a new face. Reemah, hailing from the island of St. 

Croix, is one of the new roots revolutionaries in this time and space encouraging 

all those that listen with an uplifting and spiritual message. Having 

always been passionate about stimulating the mind and soul through 

music, Reemah has been planting the seeds of a divine flame, bringing 

awareness with each social commentary that is seemingly wrapped in a 

gritty, unapologetic yet sweetly satisfying package. With her new album 

Breaking News she enters the Global Reggae Charts directly at #10, so we 

decided to honor her as the Artist of the Month.

INTERVIEW 

BUSINESS 

INSIGHT 

In the business insight section our focus goes to South 

Africa this month. Lerato “MissLee” Phiri gives some 

insight on the reggae scene in South Africa, her work 

with MzansiReggae and reggae on the african 

continent. 

Global Reggae Charts: Greetings MissLee. You are 

the founder of MzansiReggae and a voter on the Global 

Reggae Charts. We’ll talk about your work and 

the situation of reggae in South Africa. But let’s start 

with you as a person. Could you give a litte insight 

about yourself and what you are doing? How did 

you get into reggae and what is your motivation to 

spend all the time and energy for this music? 


insight 

Dube who has left us a legacy and a sort of blueprint. 

She worked with some musicians who had worked 

with her late father, but she has also carved her own 

style which she calls ethno soul ragga. You would 

need to listen to her song “Umendo”, to understand 

the ethno part. The sounds are typical from Zululand. 

You can hear it clearly on Phumi Maduna and Thuthukani 

Cele‘s Song: “Tribute to Luky Dube Phumi 

MissLee: My name is Lerato Phiri, known as 

MissLee. I am the founder of MzansiReggae, an 

online reggae magazine in South Africa that caters to 

the Reggae culture. I was born and raised in Soweto, 

Johannesburg and I have been listening to reggae for 

as long as I can remember. I had a short stint at an 

online radio station DeliRadio.it, presenting a show 

called Sistas Chant, focusing on Sisters in Reggae. 

South Africa is affectionately called Mzansi by the 

locals, hence the name MzansiReggae. The magazine 

basically gave me the opportunity to become 

an active supporter instead of a passive supporter 

of reggae. The platform was created in response to 

a lack of online presence and mainstream coverage 

of reggae culture and music in South Africa, thereby 

creating a space for the reggae community in Mzansi. 

Above all, I created this platform simply for the 

love of reggae. 

GRC: Talking about South African reggae, is there 

a special style or aesthetic for South African reggae 

and dancehall? Maybe you can name some artists 

the rest of the world should know in order to get a 

proper idea about the music. 

ML: I would point out Nkulee Dube who is currently 

hitting the European Festival Circuit, for two years in 

a row now. Her music is influenced by her dad Lucky 

Maduna” - while Thutukani Cele has been with Lucky 

from the early days and is reputed to have contributed 

heavily in creating this, what I call, fusion of 

mbaqanga with reggae, that Lucky Dube would carry 

across the globe. That particular sound has been carried 

by the older generation, the foundation fathers, 

and is unique to SA. 

The younger generation is obviously keeping with the

insight 

times, experimenting, fusing dancehall with other 

popular genres like kwaito (a variant of house music 

featuring the use of African sounds and samples) and 

hip hop and house/gqom - the 3 most popular and 

dominating genres in SA; just like their counterparts 

are doing in the rest of Africa. There is now a thin line 

between dancehall and afro beat that is coming out 

of the west African region. 

Black Dillinger is still leading in terms of popularity, 

but there are way too many rising youths with raw 

talent in the ghettos that unfortunately lack exposure, 

resources, and grooming. We get to hear them a 

lot at local dances and open mics, but most of them 

never make it to the recording studio to put out a 

quality product. And of course marketing and promotion 

is a real issue. I could also mention NC Dread 

who is a hardworking artist and has made some inroads 

in other African Countries like Ghana, where he 

was even nominated at the BASS (Ghana Reggae and 

Dancehall Music) Awards in 2016, and has worked 

with other artists from African countries like Kenya, 

Nigeria and Zimbabwe. You would need to listen to 

“Baddest”, a song which had 9 artists from 7 different 

African countries. 

Another aesthetic of reggae/dancehall is delivering 

the songs in indigenous languages, and two people 

come to mind. One, Chantty Natural, who sings in 

Setswana and has baptised his music as Tswans- 

Hall, that is Dancehall + Setswana = TswansHall. You 

would need to listen to “Mmalefatshe”, one of his 

most popular songs to date. Fire Keepers Riddim has 

a few artists doing TswansHall, youths like Blakka 

Yute, Red I Scorch, and Ragga Damdee are pushing. 

Then there is a youth called Ras Canly who scooped 

the Song of The Year Award (regional awards) with 

his song “Vhutshilo Rito Fhana” delivered in xiVenda, 

from the Limpopo region which has the highest 

concentration of reggae fans, music, and artists here 

in SA. 

Luwe Da Lion is also another youth to look out for, 

he has already voiced on some heavy South African 

Riddims like Live & Joy and Thando. 

Then we have another variation of dancehall coming 

from the Western Cape, which is a subculture on 

its own. It‘s really influenced by the area, and most 

artists from there sing in Afrikaans Taal (dutch Slang) 

and it‘s sounds more like electronic music. You‘d 

have to listen to it to understand it, there are a few 

artists also spearheading this genre. 

I could go on...but let me leave it here. As you can 

see, we have not found a voice yet, its regional and 

has different influences and different supporters. 

There are other artists worth mentioning but it will 

take up all the time and space! 

GRC: You said there was a lack of mainstream coverage 

of reggae in the media before MzansiReggae. 

How is the South African reggae scene organized? 

What role do sound systems, live shows, radio, magazines, 

the internet, and social media play? 

ML: Well, there still is a lack of mainstream coverage, 

we are simply a niche, our artists need that grand 

national exposure that would help galvanise into 

international exposure. MzansiReggae is playing its 

part especially online. 

When it comes to radio, there are a lot of community 

radio stations that program reggae and dancehall. 

The broadcasting corporations‘ radio stations also 

have reggae slots, but it‘s more of an obligation than 

anything. Slots are usually an hour long and the 

hosts mostly play older reggae and hardly anything 

new and mostly international and less local. So 

yeah, it‘s still a struggle. Some people are moving to 

online radio and basically creating their own space 

for reggae. 

Sound systems play a serious role in the scene, just 

like the sound systems of Jamaica back then, it‘s 

these guys who are pushing reggae and dancehall, 

they are the ones winning over crossover audiences. 

They are the ones playing reggae and they push 

hard to make things happens, mostly from their 

own pockets with little reward. African Storm Sound 

System is the most popular for dancehall, it‘s where 

the mainstream goes to when it wants to include

insight 

dancehall in their programming. They (African Storm) 

hosts a Thursday night session that has outrun most 

regular gigs (dancehall or otherwise) and it‘s still 

going strong, the venue is packed week in and week 

out. One cannot come to Jozi (Johannesburg) and 

not go to Fire Thursdays. They also host the Annual 

Dancehall Queen competition. 

Kebra Ethiopia Sound is the ambassador of dub. 

They hold dances in the ghettos and block the road 

to make way for the King Steppas. The King & Queen 

Steppa is a sort of dance born in the ghettos, unique 

to South Africa, and Kebra Ethiopia has brought it 

to the outside world. They tour the world playing 

at major dub destivals in Europe and South America, 

they have been to Mexico, Brazil, Italy, France, 

Holland, etc., and with them, they introduce the King 

Steppa. It‘s got many variations, and differs from 

region to region and goes very very very well with 

dub and roots reggae. Almost every sunday there is 

a dance in the ghetto where the King Steppa is the 

staple of the day. 

As for live shows, the struggle is really hard, though 

we do have some amazing live bands. The venues 

are still skeptical of hosting a reggae gig, the mainstream 

never invites us to the socalled “multi-genre 

events” so there is really little stage time for artists. 

GRC: When an artist wants to target the South African 

market, is there something he/she should know 

in order to have a chance with the local audience? 

ML: Yho, thats a tough one. As I have highlighted in 

the beginning, the market is fragmented, regional, 

and cliqued. The latter is a major hindrance to the 

progress of reggae. Their loyalty game is on another 

level. A lot of people are going to be angry with me 

for not mentioning their artist in their clique. It‘s 

really annoying, I must be honest. Promoters are not 

objective, they will always put on a lineup with the 

artists that are in their clique, even when the artist is 

not suitable for that particular gig; but they will just 

put them on anyway, even when a better artist is 

available. The end result is we see the same artists at 

every gig. Even with the audience, they are loyal to a 

group, not necessarily the music. Some of the names I 

have mentioned, you will find that most do not know 

about them because they do not belong to the clique 

that one follows. So good luck in breaking into those 

cliques. 

GRC: Maybe you could give your view on the broader 

African reggae market. How connected is the market, 

and would you say it’s healthy? 

ML: Its healthy alright. There is so much reggae 

coming from Africa. Each country boosts their own legends, 

its own derivation, its own sub culture its own 

reggae festival. Take Zimbabwe for instance, they formulated 

their own Zimdancehall with their very own 

Zimdancehall stars and celebrities and have made the 

breakthrough into the mainstream and now are being 

played in households and not just in clubs. There are 

so many good artists it‘s hard to keep up. We have 

reggae coming from the francophone countries like 

Réunion Islands, Senegal, Guinea etc. We have reggae 

artists as far as Morocco and Tunisia. Can‘t mention 

Africa and reggae and Leave out The Gambia, Guinea, 

Ghana, Kenya and, Uganda. Reggae is fermenting 

here. Every Ghetto youth is a superstar. You can check 

out the Malawi weekly Charts on Facebook. Nigeria 

(and the rest of Africa) was mourning the passing 

away of Ras Kimono, and Majek Fashek was recently 

honoured at City Walk anniversary. In Zambia they 

hosted the One Love Festival and it was mad. Rocky 

Dawuni from Ghana was nominated for the Grammy 

Award in 2016. Tiken Jah Fakoly is still putting out 

relevant music and has kept and grown his loyal fan 

base. Born Afrikan is soon to release his single in combination 

with Morgan Heritage. We have big reggae 

festivals, (yes we do, lol, MzansiReggae is going to 

publish the list, #ReggaeinAfrica, soon come). 

Chronixx will be performing in Gambia come December, 

he also hinted Ghana, and just recently performed 

in Kenya, for the 3rd time I think. Ask Mavado about 

his reception in Gambia. Ask Busy Signal, Konshens, 

Charly Black, Romain Virgo, Jah Cure, Beenie Man, 

Chris Martin, Jr. Gong, Freddy McGregor, Capleton,

insight 

Sizzla, Ce‘cile, Andrew Tosh, Anthony B, Jah9, Alaine, 

Etana, Sly & Robbie, Bushman, Turbulance, Kelissa... 

I can go on. Ask them, and they will tell you. Some 

will tell you about how they were welcomed at the 

airport and driven through the town waving at their 

fans, like some president procession of some sort, ask 

them they will tell you. Africa is the last frontier for 

reggae. This is where reggae is preserved. It makes 

sense cos reggae is African music that originated in 

Jamaica, that‘s all. 

Yes, I know, it doesn‘t seem like it or look like it, but I 

am telling you it is healthy. Just because it‘s not glitzy 

and glamorous it doesn‘t mean it doesn‘t exist. And 

personally I am also glad that it‘s not under the limelight. 

Because you know what happens when corporations 

gets into it. Just look at hip hop, it was taken 

away from its originators and got watered down and 

commercialised and has gone through some weird 

mutations! I would not want for reggae and dancehall 

to go that route, hence I feel it is somewhat a blessing 

in disguise that we are not under the commercial 

limelight. So I pray please let reggae not be infested 

by capitalism. Yes, I understand that artists have got 

to eat, but you can still do it without these vulture 

cultures for profit, no? 

Dancehall is highly susceptible to go commercial. Our 

biggest “African Reggae” star right now does afro 

beat more than dancehall. Afro beat is much more popular 

than dancehall and has seen its artists making it 

big, like really big, on the continent and globally. But 

you will be hard pressed to hear dancehall in those 

tunes that come out from our African “Kings of dancehall”.Dancehall 

has been watered down to afro beat, 

my feeling is that these guys should just go on and 

declare themselves afro beat artists and compete in 

that arena. It brings the cash and the fame, but does 

not do much for dancehall; for the culture, it‘s just 

pretty much selling it to the highest bidder. Afro beat 

is afro beat, dancehall is dancehall. That‘s just me, I 

am a purist I guess...lol. 

people message music, revolutionary lyrical content, 

music that keeps us “woke” music that speaks 

to the soul, music that comes from Africa, for 

Africans by Africans - home and abroad. 

GRC: Would you say it is possible to talk about 

“African Reggae” the way I could talk about European 

or North American reggae? 

ML: Oh, I did not realise that we have these 

categories. As for “African Reggae” yes you could 

talk about it, as in reggae music made in Africa; or 

African-based reggae artists; or reggae in Africa. 

We also have a number of artists based in Europe 

mostly, that are repping for Africa the same way 

and have found some small commercial success. 

All of this encompasses what African Reggae is all 

about. We have a few self-declared African dancehall 

kings, but that‘s mainly just for hype and promotion 

and commercial purposes, not so much of 

conquering the whole of Africa in a way. As I have 

pointed out before, each country has got its own 

sensibilities, style, legends, fusion of local dialects 

and music, and so forth; and together, collectively 

we form and shape what you refer to as African 

reggae. Reggae is African Music Made in Jamaica.
