Have always liked it but never really gotten super into it. Who are some good artists to start with?

Imo Steel pulse is one of the goats. Most of their music is absolute classic.

There's so many genres just start listening bruddah. Personally I'm really into dub reggae atm (sly and robbie) but always down for some roots (Burning Spear), dance hall (yellowman, buju banton etc), scat (eek a mouse) and sum real og shit (Chronicle)



Oh and always remember to say "one love" at the end of every sentence, especially in job interviews.
