I like reggae, but I wouldn't exactly call myself a fan of the genre. To be completely honest, to me, about 90% of all reggae music sounds the same. The only things I'm looking for in a reggae album are: (a) good voice, (b) meaningful songs, and (c) distinguishable music from the rest of the genre. I Grade has all three covered, and I even had it in heavy rotation for about a week, which is rare for reggae albums.
