Reggae/Dancehall Fresh Picks of the Month: Lexxicon, Jimmy October, Jab King, Richie Spice & More


Listen to 10 new must-hear reggae, dancehall and soca songs by Cutty Ranks, Capleton, Voice and more for May 2024.

With “Put Down the Gun,” the latest single from Subatomic Sound System, Mykal Rose and Hollie Cook’s forthcoming joint album, the three acts turn a local plea for nonviolence into something decidedly universal. With Rose on lead vocals and Cook providing gorgeous background harmonies, the two singers paint beautifully over Subatomic Sound System’s urgent, passionate amalgamation of horns, drums and guitar. Co-produced by Cadenza and Afrobeats powerhouse PDJ, the track cradles Projexx’s slinky melody with delicate background strings and guitar, touching on major sonic hallmarks of the Black diaspora.
