ragga

Where it comes from

Clipping of raggamuffin, variant of ragamuffin (“troublemaker”), influenced by reggae.

noun

uncountable A subgenre of reggae and dancehall influenced by hip hop and digital production techniques such as sampling. Tosh's brand of roots reggae, with its emphasis on uplifting anthems and melodic riffs, now sounds as dated as The Wailers' earliest incarnation as a straight-up ska band, especially when listened to alongside the shuddering bass of most contemporary ragga tracks.
