Sweet Jamaica is a studio album by a Jamaican reggae singer, Mr. Vegas, released on May 29, 2012, under Mr. Vegas Music/VPAL.
This album was released to celebrate the 50th anniversary of reggae music and of Jamaican independence. In an interview with the Miami New Times, Mr. Vegas says "Mikey Bennett had approached me about going in a different lane. He could hear my sound fitting songs like Toots and the Maytals' "Sweet and Dandy" and Hopetown Lewis' "Take It Easy". We started recording, and it just felt like the type of music that helped set the foundation of Jamaican music. At the same time it is our 50th anniversary of reggae music and our 50th anniversary of independence this year."[1]
This album consists of two discs. The 15-song first disc focuses on reggae music and features cover versions of classic reggae songs, produced by Mikey Bennett.[2] The 16-song second disc focuses on dancehall music.
