I'm originally from San Francisco but I go to school out here in Hawaii and they play A LOT of reggae out here. For some reason, even though Hawaii is not Jamaica, they're huge on reggae here. So are other islands like Palau, Tonga, & Samoa. Must be an island thing. Anywho, they play real reggae out here, not that Sean Paul BS. Any real reggae fan will tell you Sean Paul is not reggae! Anyhwo, here is my list of songs that I like:
"Who You With"-Katchafire
"Morning Ride"-Fiji
"Cherry Bomb"-Nuff Said
"Drop Baby Drop"-The Mana'o Company
"Honey Baby"-Three Plus
"Me Name Junior Gong"-Damian Marley
"Welcome to Jamrock"-Damian Marley
"One on One"-Natural Vibrations
"You Don't Love Me (No No No)"-Dawn Penn
I'd also suggest Bob Marley (obviously) and some ska-bands like 311 & Sublime even though technically they're not reggae. And also Matisyahu. Hope this helps. Jah bless.
