4. VYBZ KARTEL
Still in jail, Kartel has continued to define Jamaica’s dancehall scene, whether through his prodigy Popcaan, or by a steady stream of releases from behind bars. He also released a tell-all book, reunited with his old manager, and continues to be a force to be reckoned with — word is he’s already working on his second album with producer Dre Skull, and is to be featured on the next Major Lazer full length.
