Jamaican grammy-nominated reggae singer Koffee has been included on the list of the 14 most memorable music moments of 2019 by The Atlantic magazine. With her selection, Koffee joins the likes of Beyoncé, Taylor Swift and other superstar performers. Koffee’s song “W”, which features Gunna, was cited by the magazine in naming the Jamaican in the Rookie of the Year Match up category. Koffee, 19, burst on the reggae music scene in 2019 with her EP “Rapture.” Which displayed her talent in various vocal styles.
This recording marked her in the music industry as someone to watch. Gunna is an Atlantic rapper whose debut album entitled “Drip or Drown 2” was considered one of the best albums of the year.
