Vybz's has been making Jamaican hits since 2002, when he established himself as one of dancehall's deftest lyricists.

And so somewhat old-fashioned singers like Fantan Mojah, who scored one of the biggest recent Jamaican hits, remain obscure - almost invisible - in the United States.

This, their first single, was one of the major Jamaican hits for the year 1967,.

He had several more Jamaican hits in the late 1960s and early 1970s, including the first 'herb' song ever recorded in Jamaica, "Cool Collie".

In his early years as a singjay, Vegas sang covers of Jamaican hits at local parties and shows, and acquired a reputation as a troublemaker.

Countless Jamaican hits have been achieved by "licking over" or rerecording Studio One rhythm tracks, or riddims, as these instrumentals are known in reggae parlance.

The Heptones had a number of Jamaican hits for Studio One, beginning with "Fattie Fattie", their first Studio One single in 1966.

"Entertainment" was a Jamaican hit and he enjoyed further successes with "Water Bubbling", "Spliff Tail", "Raving", and "Run Around Woman".

His productions also included Jamaican hits with DJs like Winston Blake or Scotty among others, and many dub versions.

A string of Jamaican hits followed, including "It Pays," "Sinners Come Home" and "Labour for Learning."
