9. Randy Valentine
Jamaican-born vocalist Randy Valentine is based in the UK, where he’s been making big waves on the European dancehall scene since 2010, but something tells us that he will be making his way to broader international stardom in the coming months. A veteran of several tours spanning Europe and the Caribbean, Valentine released his Break the Chain EP (including the LargeUp favorite “Sound the Alarm”) and Bring Back the Love mixtape with Switzerland’s Straight Sound, both last year. Now, you can catch him advising how to keep your woman happy (MAJOR points with the ladies) on his infectious single “Treat her Right” —Kendra Dennis
