righteous reggae mon

Having just returned from my family's annual sojourn to the beach, I realized that I haven't purchased any reggae recently. I am a big fan of Lucky Dube, Bob Marley (Ziggy and his siblings as well), Toots, Burning Spear and others. I searched the "Gon archives and found a recommendation for "Rockamovya" which sounds tasty. Any recent new reggae artists of note?

Having visited Jamaica many times, I'm convinced there is a reggae cover for every song, from "Take Me Home West Virginia" (or "Sweet Jamaica") to "Hava Nagila."

Probably the first well-known Jamaican cover was the ska beat "My Boy Lollipop" from 1964 sung by Millie Small.

I say Max Romeo and the Upsetters, War Inna Babylon, as good as any ever. My opinion, of course.
