10. Chi Ching Ching
We had some debate as to whether Chi Ching Ching belonged on this list, as he’s been a known commodity in Kingston for some time now. Having spent time with “Mr. Air Wick” over the Christmas holiday, though, it became clear that the dancer, deejay and all-around entertainer is now ready to move beyond Jamaica’s confines. With an EDM remix EP and European tour (catch the trailer below) coming up with Eccentrix Sound, Ching—the ‘C’ in Gyptian and Munga Honorebel’s GMC crew—is definitely branching out in new directions. —Jesse Serwer
