#3: TOP (3) UPCOMING INTERNATIONAL MALE 2019 – STYLO G

Spanish Town’s Stylo G is without a doubt one of the biggest stars in dancehall today, and he receives the #3 spot on our ReggaeMania.com ‘Tops’ Award for ‘Top Upcoming International Male 2019‘. His lyrical flow, patter, style, choice of riddims, etc., are all ingredients for a formula that created the best music, crucial for a year in which hit songs and many hit artists were missing from the dancehalls.

In 2019, Stylo G, now based in Jamaica after being a member of the UK underground scene since age 15, became the gap-filler for DJ’s and sound crews who needed to take their nights to a next level by musically peaking at the right moment. His music and UK-influenced ‘1-2-3′ rap-reggae twang would create sweet vibes usually only achievable by major heavyweights the likes of Vybz Kartel, Popcaan, or Mavado.

According to Problem Child from Don Rankin Sound, ‘It’s Stylo G, Sean Paul, and Shaggy who are the international doods running things right now’.


Stylo G’s biggest accomplishments to date include his mammoth 2018 ‘Touch Down’ pop-dancehall crossover mega hit still huge internationally currently sitting at almost 14 million views on YouTube, and still in regular rotation at most Urban radio stations in the world that play good music. The sexually explicit yet funny song with the simplest of riddims, was followed by a dance craze, and blew up again in 2019 after it was creatively remixed with featured guest artists Nicki Minaj & Vybz Kartel, who both sounded amazing in the song.
There’s a lot more Stylo G to come, and the dancehall world can hardly wait. We need more artists like this who can deviate from dancehall’s traditional yet sometimes repetitious reggae riddims, and who are skilled enough to pull it off with flying colours.

Congratulations to Stylo G, placing 3rd in our ReggaeMania.com Awards for ‘Top Upcoming International Male 2019 ‘.
