In Jamaica, although the official language is Jamaican Standard English, there is a second language which is JamC. The alternations of the former and the latter is a daily life practice, although it is restricted to some sociolinguistic factors. The aim of my work is to describe how JamE/ JamC CS is used based on a compilation of 10 famous reggae songs belonging to different periods of time. These songs cover different topics, from ones one would enjoy at a nightclub to religious issues and social struggles. What is more, one can find in this compilation three different types of CS: lexical –rooted in sociolinguistic issues-, grammatical, and phonological. Through this study one can discern the different aspects that affect the use of CS in Jamaica.
