We're not stopping each other doing things outside of what we’re working on together. All of that enables us to carry on working together. I mean, just standing there on stage with him is always a treat. I think that's another reason why we can hang together after all this time because we've got the sense of humor to enable us to go forward. It came out really good and it's very Billy Idol.

Jamaican rapper Heavy D had already released three platinum selling albums by 1992, so his collaboration with Super Cat undoubtedly brought greater attention to the Jamaican dancehall "don dada" who had recently signed to Columbia Records. Any list of hip-hop/reggae songs would be incomplete without Shinehead, a pioneer in blending the genres. Born in England, raised in Jamaica and living in the Bronx for many years, Shinehead’s impressive roster of reggae-rap mashups throughout the 1980s and 1990s undoubtedly inspired many Jamaican deejays forays into rapping and rappers attempts at reggae.

"Music has been my life from birth, I should say, growing up in a musical family. Really and truly I've love music from creation, so music has always been there," Julian said. "I took a piece of each genre, I love jazz—we listened to jazz, classical, lots of different music, so you'll find a piece of every kind of music in our music." After a two-year hiatus, Jamaican music from lovers rock to roots and beyond will be represented at this year’s cruise. The dates will be December 7-12, 2022, sailing on Royal Caribbean’s Freedom of the Seas. Gong” Marley’s record hit ‘Welcome To Jamrock’, the cruise will take things to higher heights in 2022, making impressive progress from its already successful inception in 2014.

One of its best tracks is the catchy hip-hop jam "Lighters Up," featuring the innovative brass embellishments of Jamaica’s Tivoli Gardens Drum Corp, with dancehall artists Mavado and Popcaan each taking a verse. Their presence on the track is significant, and belies a complicated history. As the Miami skyline faded in the distance and reggae bass lines reverberated on the open seas, Marley got on the mic, greeted the crowd in the name of Jah Rastafari and thanked them for being a part of this historic occasion. “Let’s start this the right way,” Marley said, motioning to the selector to drop his father’s immortal “Redemption Song” as the crowd sang along, phones held aloft to capture the scenario. This is one of WTJRC’s most-anticipated climatic events, where sound systems go head-to-head, tune-for-tune to battle it out for the championship title.

I don’t know how he’s doing it, but it’s incredible. All I want to be able to do is have a couple of glasses of wine at a restaurant or something. So a lot of things like that were wake up calls. Even having grandchildren and just watching my daughter enlarging her family and everything; it just makes you really positive about things and want to show a positive side to how you're feeling, about where you're going.

Jam Cruise 21 sets sail from Miami back aboard the MSC Divina on February 14, 2025. The ship will make port visits to Cozumel, Mexico and Belize City, Belize before returning to Miami on February 19, 2025. The lineup will be revealed in New Orleans on May 2 at the official Jam Cruise 21 Announcement Party. Venn diagrams came up numerous times while talking about the Yacht Rock set with Lebo.

I joined Generation X when I said to my parents, "I'm leaving university, and I'm joining a punk rock group." And they didn't even know what a punk rock group was. Years ago, I’d write things for myself that put me on this path, so that maybe in 2022 I could sing something like "Cage" and be owning this territory and really having a good time. The relationship’s… matured and it's carrying on being fruitful, and I think that's pretty amazing.

While some may think of Idol solely for "Rebel Yell" and "White Wedding," the singer's musical influences span genres and many of his tunes are less turbo-charged than his '80s hits would belie. While they’ve been active in the New York scene for a few years, they’ve gained wider acclaim for the irresistible music they began releasing this year, including their debut album, Prism. Their 2022 debut single "Forget Me Not" is an ode to ground-breaking New York art collective Guerilla Girls, and "Norma" is their protest anthem in response to the news that Roe vs. Wade could be (and was) overturned. The band name is a nod to funk legend Nile Rodgers, from the "Le freak, c'est chi" exclamation in Chic's legendary tune "Le Freak." It's rare that a genre can be traced back to a single artist or group, but for funk, that was James Brown.

The cruise will embark on its annual voyage on Dec. 1, from Florida to Jamaica and allow music fans to explore the birthplace of reggae music and experience four days filled with music from modern greats. Dancehall reggae is well represented by Aidonia, Agent Sasco, Dexta Daps, Konshens, seasoned crowd pleaser Elephant Man and the poor people’s governor Bounty Killer. Rising dancehall star Shenseea is one of three females on the lineup, alongside Rastafarian sing-jays Queen Ifrica and Jah9. Dancehall’s 1990s golden era is celebrated with a set by four of the decade’s most popular deejays (Jamaican rappers) Buccaneer, General Degree, Red Rat and Spragga Benz.

This is one of Welcome To Jamrock Reggae Cruise’s most-anticipated climatic events, where sound systems go head-to-head, tune-for-tune to battle it out for the championship title. Welcome To Jamrock Reggae Cruise will announce the full DJ and sound system lineup at a later date. Visit welcometojamrockreggaecruise.com for available cabins. GRAMMY-winning reggae artist—and son of reggae legend Bob Marley—Damian Marley has taken the role of continuing his father's legacy and keeping the genre alive and vibrant quite seriously. He has taken home four GRAMMY wins to date, including for Best Reggae Album for the 2005 classic Welcome to Jamrock and Best Urban/Alternative Performance for the title track, the only Jamaican artist to receive the latter award, at the 48th GRAMMY Awards.

It didn't have the same sense of rebelliousness as the original movement. It was as if [the show] kind of stayed with Steve [Jones’ memoir] about halfway through, and then departed from it. [John] Lydon, for instance, was never someone I ever saw acting out; he's more like that today.

L'Impératrice (the empress in French) are a six-piece Parisian group serving an infectiously joyful blend of French pop, nu-disco, funk and psychedelia. Flore Benguigui's vocals are light and dreamy, yet commanding of your attention, while lyrics have a feminist touch. Their music manages to be both nostalgic and futuristic — and impossible to sit still to.

Lebo – the musical director of the tribute to the genre that took over radio dials in the late 1970s and early 1980s – had perfectly laid out the performance, pulling off all 11 planned songs and featuring a heaping helping of improvisation in the 90 minutes allotted. Months of work went into Lebo’s Yacht Rock set making for a highlight of the musical adventure at sea’s 20th journey. On the final day of Jam Cruise 20, ALO guitarist Lebo (Dan Lebowitz) and an impressive roster of musicians lit into Fleetwood Mac’s “Don’t Stop,” the 11th and last song for the second annual Lebo’s Yacht Rock set. The sun started to fade as the MSC Divina steamed toward Miami and smiles abound both onstage and off.

In a technique he called the merry-go-round, Herc utilized two turntables and a mixer to alternate between dual copies of the same record to prolong the instrumental grooves. I feel that with all the artists, really, but Shabba Ranks kinda special to me.” shared Damian “Jr. This year the legendary Shabba Ranks, Damian “Jr Gong” Marley and Stephen “Ragga” Marley will hit the stage for what promises to be an explosive return. An additional bonus for those attending is the chance to see living reggae legend Burning Spear perform too. As the sixth cruise wrapped up in 2019, there were unforgettable performances by Stephen “Ragga” Marley, Taurus Riley, Koffee, Popcaan, Buju Banton, Skip Marley and many more. Given the situation with the global pandemic, the following two years halted the experience.
