CONGO NATTY
Rebel MC started the label 'Congo Natty' in 1994 to have a new outlet for his music.
The name 'Congo' is from the African drum sound and 'Natty' stands for Rastafarianism. This label name was picked because of the artists inspiration from these two things. Congo Natty's identity came from Jah. Their future vision can only be acheived with the help of Jah. Congo Natty's artists include top reggae names suchas: Top Cat, Tenor Fly, Sweetie Irie, et al. They have many new artists also. Two of the best to emerge are Peter Bouncer and rapper Million Dan. Both have solo albums in the works. In the beginning of 1996 they released 'Knowledge & Wisdom' feat.Demolition Man 'Fire'. This was a Top 40 hit in the UK years ago. Congo Natty needs jungle to stay alive. The UK's big cities help us because of their love of jungle.Congo Natty believes that jungle encompasses reggae and hiphop."

Ganja Legalization
Created By PuffinDaHerb a.k.a Matty C Music By: Wayne Marshall - Legalize Ganja
Wayne Marshall's story is one of rites of passage. Born Wayne Mitchell, the roller coaster ride that made up his young life is what drives Wayne Marshall the artiste. Early years were spent in the Barbican area of Kingston, until his Father - a self-made successful businessman -- relocated the family uptown.
Destiny moved the Mitchell family 3 doors away from the front gate of the Father of digital Dancehall, Lloyd "King Jammy" James. The King had sons of young Wayne's age group, so the Waterhouse studio soon became a pre-ordained second home for the music-loving teenager. "Automatically we get a piece of the ghetto inna we too," he tells me from my passenger seat, trying to absorb the fast-fading cool of the A/C in my whip. "We deh deep inna di ghetto a day time at the studio, so we get to realize the livety and we get fi soak in wid the ghetto people and ketch dem mentality to a level," he adds, acknowledging the importance of the ghetto education he received at 'Jammin's' studio. Sparring with the big man's offspring meant that the studio was at their disposal, causing Wayne to "start checking music on a serious level" from an early age. It was early '94 and Bounty Killer was as hot as Hell. Marshall recalls Elephant Man in tear-up clothes, Determine begging. Big artists came and went all day long. "At King Jammy's I got to know the ropes in the deep heart of Dancehall - dub plate style!"

Collie Buddz - Come Around (Taxi Remix)
Collie Buddz (born Colin Harper, 1982 in New Orleans, Louisiana) is a reggae/dancehall artist who grew up in Bermuda.
Collie Buddz openly represents "Bermy" in his music and has an innovative style that has been compared to Gentleman and Sean Paul. Singles include "Come Around", "Mamacita", "Ring The Alarm Remix" with Beyoncé, "Tell Me" with Lil' Flip, and "Come Around Remix" featuring Busta Rhymes.
In 2006 Collie Buddz signed with Sony BMG. He is also a part of Harper Digital. He declined a contract from Interscope. His first album will be released in late May 2007.
Collie Buddz employs a style that is strongly rooted in 1990's era conscious and dancehall style reggae, using beats and vocal techniques reminiscent of the iconic stars of that day - including Sizzla, Buju Banton, Bounty Killer and Beenie Man. The singer has attributed the defining influences on his music to lyrical clashes (such as those between Beenie Man and Bounty Killer) and dubplates, particularly those of Kilimanjaro, that were core to the sound clash culture of the 90's.

Cocoa Tea - The Weed
Cocoa Tea (Calvin Scott) was one of many vocalists who emerged from the dancehall 'explosion' of the early 80's in Jamaica. His honeyed voice brought him a healthy following with a marvellous vitality and purity of vocal tone, only to be let down by weak lyrics on many occasions.
He has recorded with most of the top producers on the island at one time or another and his body of work includes; 'Lost Me Sonia', 'Rocking Dolly', 'Good Life', 'Heathen' and countless others worth checking out.

Barrington Levy & Beenie Man - Under Me Sensi
In 1995, Beenie Man released a remix of Barrington Levy's "Under Mi Sensi" in the United Kingdom.
Barrington Levy (born April 30, 1964) is a reggae and dancehall artist. He was born in Clarendon, Jamaica and soon formed a band with his cousin, Everton Dacres, called the Mighty Multitude; the pair released "My Black Girl" in 1977. Levy established his solo career the next year with "A Long Time Since We Don't Have No Love"; though the single was a failure, the fourteen year old was a popular performer at Jamaican dancehalls. Soon, Levy met Junjo Lawes and Hyman Wright, both record producers, and recorded several singles with the Roots Radics, including "Al Yah We Deh", "Looking My Love", "Englishman", "Wedding Ring Aside" and "Collie Weed", all of which became hits and established Levy's career.
Levy's next few singles were similarly successful, including "Shine Eye Girl", "Wicked Intention", "Jumpy Girl", "Skylarking" (by Horace Andy), "Disco Music", "Reggae Music", "Never Tear My Love Apart", "Jah", "You Made Me So Happy" and "When You're Young and in Love". Levy then recorded several duets with Toyan, Jah Thomas and Trinity, and memorably appeared at Reggae Sunsplash in 1980 and 1981. Though LPs were not terribly important in Jamaica at the time, Levy released three albums before 1980: Bounty Hunter, Shine Eye Gal (United Kingdom) and Englishman, a critically acclaimed record.
By 1980's Robin Hood, Levy was one of the biggest Jamaican stars, and saw his international fame growing as well, especially in England. Taking a break from albums, Levy then released a series of hit singles, including "Mary Long Tongue", "In the Dark", "Too Poor", "I Have a Problem", "Even Tide Fire a Disaster", "I'm Not in Love", "You Have It", "Love of Jah", "Under Mi Sensi", "Tomorrow Is Another Day", "Robberman", Black Rose", "My Woman" and "Money Move". Levy returned to LPs with Lifestyle and Money Move, followed by a British hit album called Here I Come; Levy received Best Vocalist at the British Reggae Awards.
The late 1980s saw Levy, now in his twenties, slow down his output, though he continued to perform and record until 1988. In 1993, Levy tried to break in the United States with Barrington, but Levy and his label, MCA Records, did not have a good relationship and he soon left. In the 1990s, Levy continued to release periodic hits in Jamaica, and more rarely in the UK. In 1998, he released Living Dangerously, which included guests like Snoop Doggy Dogg and Long Beach Dub All-Stars.
He also appeared on two singles by rapper Shyne, and Canadian Hip-Hop group Rascalz
