Congratulations to the 2022 Daily Reggae “Best Of” Winners! Here is a recap of this year’s winning artists. From your favorite artists, best albums, biggest tracks, and memorable festivals, the reggae community is filled with talented people and artists. This is our humble selection.

The numbers don’t lie. Stick Figure once again had a major year with the release of “Wisdom” and continued its streak of four consecutive years selling the most reggae albums after Bob Marley. Stick Figure’s influence is strongly felt across the scene and many up-and-coming artists are looking for ways to merge reggae, dub and rock following Stick Figure's influence. 

2022 was a major year for Kabaka Pyramid and his star power rose significantly through countlesss features, a national U.S. tour and a GRAMMY nomination for “The Kalling”, which had Pyramid team up with Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley.

Bumpin Uglies stretch their legs in their single “Everything Changes” featuring The Elovaters. True to their DMV roots, the song revolves around catchy pop-punk chorus, but they lean into the album title (Mid-Atlantic Dub) bringing in dub elements such as big echoing hits and an absolutely driving baseline.

Koffee’s elevated her star power in a major way in 2022 including an international tour and a Grammy nom for “Gifted”. The roots reggae music is felt strongly in “Lonely” as Koffee drops her beautiful vocals over an irie riddim.

Sometimes taking a trip without much of a plan in place is the best kind and the pairing of Landon McNamara and DENM produced the rocking jam “Wild Trip”. The reggae rock guitar and drum beat made this one of our favorite jams of the year.

Few bands look like they are having more fun than Artikal Sound System, and for good reason. The Florida-based band grew up in so many ways in 2022 and proved its ability to cross genres like reggae, rock and pop.

Kyle Ahern’s rise as reggae’s leading guitar shredder is one of the most inspiring stories in all of music today. He went from a fan winning Rebelution’s Jam Contest to becoming an integral part of the band’s live shows.

Reggae festivals no longer only live in the summer season. They are now year round, which is amazing! Reggae Rise Up made huge strides positioning their brand and successfully creating a series of festivals across the U.S. including Nevada, Florida, and Maryland.

The 2022 Daily Reggae Label of the Year is: Ineffable Music Group

Ineffable Music was everywhere in 2022 and its talented bench of artists including Stick Figure, Collie Buddz, Mike Love, and The Elovaters each made major headwinds.
