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 problems of society will also be the problems of the predominant language of that society. It is the carrier of its perceptions, its attitudes, and its goals, for through it, the speakers absorb entrenched attitudes. The guilt of English then must be recognized and appreciated before its continued use can be advocated.”
—Njabulo Ndebele (b. 1948)
“Here also was made the novelty ‘Chestnut Bell’ which enjoyed unusual popularity during the gay nineties when every dandy jauntily wore one of the tiny bells on the lapel of his coat, and rang it whenever a story-teller offered a ‘chestnut.’”
—Administration for the State of Con, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
