In the first quarter of 2024, Jamaican producer Dub Chemist, who is now based in America, released five individual singles on an instrumental called Royal Plus Riddim. On its own, the gentle, groovy reggae beat charms listeners with its authenticity. It comes across as a beautiful blank canvas on which each artist painted a different vision with their words and melodies.
The project features “Paradise” by Raquel Sellars, “Love Over All Things” by BlacSpade, “Trim Trim Trim” by Pashon Minott, “Nuh Waan See Yu” by I-Tru Jah,” and “Blend & Mend Again” by Magano. BlacSpade and Pashon Minott songs highlight and celebrate the Rastafarian way of life, while I-Tru Jah and Magano lament on the many challenges and changes we are all confronted with while on this journey. As for Raquel Sellars, she delivered a strong song that is all about honoring reggae music.
The previously mentioned tracks can be streamed and downloaded on Apple Music, iTunes, Deezer, Spotify, Tidal, and all other digital music platforms.
