Continued International Popularity
Through other Caribbean-born artistes such as Sean Paul, Damian Marley, Sean Kingston and Rihanna who emerged during the mid-2000s, the popularity of the sub-genre has continued to grow. Recent international reggae fusion hits, such as "Calabria" by Enur and Natasja, "Letting Go (Dutty Love)" by Sean Kingston featuring Nicki Minaj, "Need U Bad" by Jazmine Sullivan, "Say Hey (I Love You)" by Michael Franti & Spearhead featuring Cherine Anderson and "Billionaire" by Travis McCoy, shows that the sub genre has matured and is as popular as it has ever been, with more artists experimenting with it. Also some producers have gained recognition for consistently incorporating reggae fusion into songs they produce, such as J. R. Rotem, who has produced reggae fusion hits such as Beautiful Girls, Me Love, Take You There, Replay and Solo.

Famous quotes containing the words continued and/or popularity:
“The cause of Sense, is the External Body, or Object, which presseth the organ proper to each Sense, either immediately, as in the Taste and Touch; or mediately, as in Seeing, Hearing, and Smelling: which pressure, by the mediation of Nerves, and other strings, and membranes of the body, continued inwards to the Brain, and Heart, causeth there a resistance, or counter- pressure, or endeavor of the heart, to deliver it self: which endeavor because Outward, seemeth to be some matter without.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
“In everything from athletic ability to popularity to looks, brains, and clothes, children rank themselves against others. At this age [7 and 8], children can tell you with amazing accuracy who has the coolest clothes, who tells the biggest lies, who is the best reader, who runs the fastest, and who is the most popular boy in the third grade.”
—Stanley I. Greenspan (20th century)
