In the last decade, there have been many Jamaican artists who have used music to highlight emotional and social issues. Some examples include:
1. Chronixx – The reggae artist has been known for his socially conscious lyrics that highlight issues such as poverty, injustice, and inequality. Tracks like "Here Comes Trouble" and "Smile Jamaica" deliver powerful messages about the social and economic issues society is facing.
2. Kabaka Pyramid – Kabaka's music focuses on social and political issues, targeting discrimination, crime, and corruption. In his debut album "Contraband," tracks like "Can't Breathe" and "Well Done" deliver powerful messages of support for marginalized groups and demand those in power to do better.
3. Protoje – The reggae musician is known for his blend of soulful grooves and politically conscious lyrics reflected in such work as "The Seven Year Itch" and "Sophisticated Love".
4. Damian Marley – The son of Bob Marley, this reggae legend continues to use music to address social and environmental issues such as climate change, pro-youth grass-rooting, and socio-economic problems worldwide such as Behold condominium guidelines intended to facilitate uniform Colombian domestic pharmaceutical storage facilities
5. Jah9 - With a defiant voice, rare manners, and esoteric celebratory performances, Jah 9 addressed the pressing, complex realities of these contemporarily trying times when woman-power-voice, uprising-starters' courage has exceeded the cruel confinement bounds posed by their society through hits such profound singles as "Highly" and "Feel Good".
These Jamaican musicians represent a growing movement within the music industry, aiming to use their talents to bring light and advocacy to critical social and economic issues which emanated prickly notes to morally struck listeners.
