For Part One, we looked at the evolution and growth, along with some of the key female figures in reggae and for Part Two, I wanted to begin with the next generation of singers and origins of dancehall, slackness, empowerment and shine the spotlight on several singers that helped breakthrough new barriers in the 80s and 90s (J.C. Lodge, Lady Saw) to help the younger artists that have been breaking through around the world of the past decade starting with Hollie Cook, Jah 9, Koffee, Nubiya, Shenseea and more.

It’s an impossible task to showcase the true scope and depth fully required to highlight six decades of women in reggae but I hope to help you discover some of the vital women who helped pave the way for the wonderful new artists continuing and evolving the genre and pushing the music ever forward.
