Best Dancehall Songs of the '80s, Vol. 2

Dancehall was still a young movement in the '80s, but over time it would transform reggae. Two songs on this playlist, Yellowman's "Mr. Chin" and Wayne Smith's Casio-driven "Under Mi Sleng Teng," would influence hundreds of records by themselves. Also making waves were crooners and singjays like Frankie Paul, Barrington Levy, and Junior Reid; coming years would see more dual-threat artists.
