Best: Popcaan 

The one time Gaza prefect, now Unruly Boss Popcaan, wins 2015’s Male Local Artiste of year. Bad Inna Real Life to Good Times and Never Sober, 2015 has really been Popi’s best year to date.If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late. This has since formed the seemingly unbreakable link OVO Unruly.OVO Gaza but you know, because of circumstances beyond his control, he had to settle for Unruly, but that’s a completely different story altogether.Fix Things, placing the bar the beat “wayyyy up” and through it all didn’t forget to give thanks.

Honourable mention to Alkaline who had a great year also.Worst: Tanto Blackswho wears leather and fur in Jamaican weather in the middle of the day?

To accompany his athletics, Tanto’s fashion has made him the enemy of every animal rights and climate change activist in Jamaica. I mean

The comedy value is definitely not lacking but the music leaves much to be desired. Until Tanto graduates to words that are words, and songs that surpass telling us the contents of his birth paper, he will be the 2015 worst artiste.
