West Coast Reggae is a style of reggae music that originated in California in the late 1970s. It is characterized by its laid-back, relaxed sound, often featuring a heavy emphasis on bass and drums. The genre is heavily influenced by the sounds of Jamaica, but also incorporates elements of funk, soul, and hip-hop. West Coast Reggae is often associated with the "California sound" and is popular in the beach cities of California. It is also popular in Hawaii, where it is known as "Island Reggae".
