Reissue des Debütalbums "Kontraband" (2019) des mittlerweile mit einem Grammy ausgezeichneten, jamaikanischen Reggae-Künstlers Kabaka Pyramid, der mit seinem unverwechselbaren Musikstil die Kraft, Energie und Melodie des Reggae mit der Lyrik des Hip-Hop verbindet. "Kontraband" wurde von Damian "Jr Gong" Marley produziert, der selbst - neben Akon, Chronixx, Protoje, u.a. - mit einem Feature vertreten ist.

Mit seinem frischen Blend aus Reggae und Hip-Hop gelang dem Jamaikaner Kabaka Pyramid mit seinem Debütalbum 'Kontraband' (2018) ein Überraschungserfolg, an den der Nachfolger 'The Kalling' nun ansetzt. Das Meisterwerk, produziert von Damian und Stephen Marley, Young Pow und Kabaka Pyramid, gewann dieses Jahr den Grammy für 'Best Reggae Album'. Diese Symphonie von 15 Songs hebt den Reichtum der Reggae-Musik hervor, von der scharfen Perfektion von Percussion und Bass bis zu ikonischen Tunes von Junior Byles ('Faded Away' ft. Buju Banton), Peter Tosh ('Mystic Man') und Eddie Fitzroy ('EZ Ride'). Features kommen u.a. von Protoje, Jemere Morgan, Black-Am-I, Jesse Royal und den Marley-Brüdern.

For over two decades, Dub Inc has been a cornerstone of the French-speaking reggae scene, embodying both power and authenticity. Hailing from Saint-Étienne, the band has built a strong identity, whether on stage or through their productions, always driven by the will to deliver meaningful messages that resonate far beyond borders. Dub Inc now returns with their new project Atlas, the result of a full year of creation at their new Greenlab Studio. Writing and composing went hand in hand, guided by powerful themes and a constant awareness of today's world. To enrich this record, the band invited three renowned artists: L'Entourloop, Kabaka Pyramid, and Marcus Gad. The result is an explosive fusion of reggae, world, and urban sounds - a 9th album that stays true to Dub Inc's DNA while opening new musical horizons.

Lee 'Scratch' Perrys posthumes Meisterwerk 'Destiny', das gemeinsam mit Bob Riddim entstand, ist eine transzendente Reise durch das Erbe und die Zukunft des Reggae. Mit Evie Pukupoos gefühlvollen Echos, Kabaka Pyramids revolutionärer Lyrik und Xana Romeos Neo-Roots-Infusion verbindet das Album ikonische Traditionen mit den modernen Sounds und Stimmen des Reggae. Weitere Highlights sind die kollaborative Präsentation der nächsten Reggae-Welle der kommenden Generation mit Blvk H3ro, Leno Banton und Wayne J ('Ring Pon My Finger') sowie eine Hommage an das Dub-Königtum mit Addis Pablos Melodica ('Infinity' (Dub)). 'Destiny' ist ein weiterer Beweis für Perrys unauslöschlichen Einfluss auf die jamaikanische und globale Musiklandschaft.

Die für ihr Debütalbum 'Lost In Paradise' 2017 GRAMMY-nominierten Pop-Reggae-Vorreiter Common Kings releasen den Nachfolger CELEBRATION. Die amerikanisch-hawaiianisch-polynesische Combo aus Kalifornien vereint Genres und Einflüsse aus Reggae, Pop, Rock, R&B, Hip-Hop und Dancehall zu einer zusammenhängenden Wohlfühlplatte mit dynamischem Sound. CELEBRATION ist genau das für Common Kings - eine Möglichkeit, auf ein Jahrzehnt musikalischer Exzellenz anzustoßen und dabei eine wirklich gute Zeit zu haben. An der Platte wirkten Reggae-Grössen wie J Boog, Demarco, Kabaka Pyramid und Marc E. Bassy sowie Produzenten wie The Audibles und Poo Bear mit.

Nach vielen Jahren als Support für verschiedene Künstler veröffentlicht die in London ansässige Upper Cut Band ihr eigenes Debütalbum 'Painting On Silence', das sie mit einer Vielzahl etablierter Musiker und Vokalist*innen aus Jamaika und Großbritannien, darunter Grammy-Preisträger Kabaka Pyramid, Luciano, Caroll Thompson, King Lorenzo, Xana Romeo und Big Youth, aufnahmen. Produziert von Nick Manasseh, einem der 'besten modernen Dubmaster Englands' (irieites.de).

Over the past 16 years, Rebelution has had nearly everything a band could
ask for: chart-topping albums, hundreds of millions of streams, a GRAMMY
nomination, even their own festival in Jamaica.The only thing they haven’t
had, it seems, is time.
“When COVID hit, we found ourselves in uncharted territory,” says frontman
Eric Rachmany. “Suddenly we were just sitting still, which was a completely
new experience for us.”
Difficult as it was to leave the road behind, pressing pause proved to be a blessing in disguise for a band that has emerged from lockdown with their most
captivating, eclectic record to date: ‘In The Moment’. Recorded remotely in the
midst of the coronavirus pandemic, the collection is deliberate and wide-ranging, infusing the quartet’s soulful, exhilarating brand of modern reggae with
addictive pop hooks, alt-rock grit, and hip-hop grooves.
The performances here are bold and self-assured, and the production is equally ambitious, drawing on swirling reverb and trippy delay to create an immersive sonic universe that’s both futuristic and vintage all at once. Strip away the
intoxicating atmospherics, though, and what remains is a work of profound
reflection, a probing, revelatory meditation that balances joy and introspection
in equal measure as it contemplates the meaning of time and invites us to sit
back, slow down, and live ‘In The Moment’.
Includes guest appearances by Busy Signal, Kabaka Pyramid, Durand Jones, and
Keznamdi.

‘Royal’ is the long awaited second full-length album from Jesse Royal, an artist who has been helping to return Jamaica to its rightful place at the top of the worldwide reggae scene. Along with his peers and friends Protoje, Chronixx, Koffee, Kabaka Pyramid, Jah9, Lila Ike, and others, Jesse Royal has brought back many of the soulful elements of the genre, while remaining at the cutting edge of the moment. The record’s 3rd single, “Rich Forever,” a collab with dancehall superstar Vybz Kartel, perfectly illustrates this with a modern roots sound that surprises at every turn. Recent major hits, “LionOrder” (with Protoje) and “Natty Pablo,” are both included here, along with a host of new songs that are destined to become favorites in the Jamaican diaspora and well beyond. The album also features prominent guest turns by Stonebwoy, Kumar (formerly of GRAMMY winning band Raging Fyah), and rising stars Samory I, and Runkus.
