'Til Shiloh, Buju Banton's 1995 album produced by Donovan Germain at Penthouse, marked his widely documented turn from slack dancehall lyricism toward Rastafari-conscious songwriting and is regarded as the signature recording of dancehall's mid-1990s cultural turn.

Signature 1994 hit from Cidade Negra’s album Sobre Todas as Forças, a Brazilian reggae radio staple that helped cement the band’s national mainstream breakthrough.

The best-known song by Gondwana, the Chilean band who did more than anyone to establish reggae in Spanish-speaking South America. It is a good illustration of how far the form travelled and how completely it was absorbed: a Jamaican rhythm, a Chilean band, a Spanish lyric, and an audience that heard it as their own music rather than an import.

Sasha wrote and recorded 'Dat Sexy Body' in 1998 on a variation of the Bookshelf riddim; the track became a sleeper hit that only reached its full chart impact roughly five years after release, and was later remixed with reggaeton artist Ivy Queen.

Super Cat's 1993 single for Columbia, and the record on which the crossover ran in both directions at once. The Bad Boy Extended Mix, one of six remixes on the 12-inch, carried Mary J. Blige, Third Eye, Puff Daddy and (making his recorded debut) the Notorious B.I.G. The biggest rapper of the decade first reached wax on the remix of a Jamaican dancehall single, which is the clearest single illustration of how much American hip-hop was drawing from Kingston at that moment.

The lead single from Hard to Wet, Easy to Dry (1992), Mad Cobra's major-label debut for Columbia, and one of the records that convinced American labels there was a dancehall market to sign.

From Bounty Killer's My Xperience (1996), released as a single by VP Records in February 1997, pairing him with the Fugees at the height of The Score. Often cited as one of the earliest rap-opera records, and an example of a Jamaican deejay bringing an American group onto his own album rather than appearing as a guest on theirs.

Dirtsman's 1991 signature dancehall hit, cut for engineer-producer Philip Smart's Tan-Yah operation; the deejay (Patrick Thomas, brother of Papa San) died in 1993 and is remembered for this record. Documented facts, memorial framing.

1993 single by Toronto singjay Snow (Darrin O’Brien), raised in a Caribbean-heavy North York housing project, which spent seven weeks at No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and became one of the biggest global crossover hits built on Jamaican dancehall vocal style.

"Limb by Limb" by Cutty Ranks is one of the records that carried 1990s hardcore dancehall into international circulation, remembered for its sharp deejay delivery and heavy presence in clubs, mixtapes and sound-system play.
