Which Jamaican artist won the Grammy Award?

RESPONSE: by Wellesley



The latest Jamaican grammy award winner is Koffee for her album, Rapture (2019). The other nominees in the Best Reggae Category category were:

• Julian Marley's As I Am
  
• Sly & Robbie & the Roots Radics' The Final Battle: Sly & Robbie vs. Roots Radics
  
• Steel Pulse's Mass Manipulation &
  
• Third World's More Work to Be Done
