+5: HONORABLE MENTION
As much as it seems like females get left out of the conversation when it comes to reggae and dancehall, the music’s history is filled with notable female deejays: too many to even make our list. We’d be remiss if we didn’t also mention pioneering females Mother Liza (of Nigger Kojak and Mother Liza fame) and Junie Ranks (of “Big and Ready” fame). And, on the more modern end of things, the prolific and influential Cecile and Timberlee and Natalie Storm of TNT and Ward 21’s Badda Badda Bunch, have brought us much enjoyable tunes.
