      Overview of Reggae Fusion music

      Reggae Fusion music emerged in the late 20th century as a fusion of traditional reggae music with elements of other genres such as hip-hop, R&B, and electronic music. The fusion was a result of the cultural exchange between Jamaican and American music scenes.
