3. Mavado – “At the Top”
Mavado-Gully-Fashion

Mavado was definitely at the top of his game this year, dropping his most visible and most popular tune since signing to DJ Khaled’s We the Best in “Give It All To Me” with Nicki Minaj, and killing us quietly with one of the year’s most slept-on heartical reggae tunes, “Soldier.” The tune that hit the hardest in the dancehall, though, was the aptly titled “At the Top (Just Us),” on Armzhouse Records’ First Capital riddim. Though it may not have gotten the hype of his early hits or “Box of Money,” this is definitely another one to add to the Gully God’s collection of classic anthems.
