Ragga Lox Releases The Official Video For “Spliff & Beer” (@Raggaloxx)

Posted on April 17, 2022 by Maria Jackson 27 Magazine

Reggae-Dancehall artist Ragga Lox kicked off 2022 with the release of Spliff & Beer, one of the singles from his upcoming album, Climbing. The track, which is all about enjoying and valuing life, was inspired by some of the more devastating events we all saw and experienced throughout the covid-19 pandemic.

In his own words, Ragga Lox describes it this way: “after loosing some close family members and friends I wanted to give a sense of appreciation for life, knowing we don’t have much control over what’s going on.”

Last week he premiered the official visuals on his YouTube channel. The upbeat, flashy video was shot at Liberty State Park in Jersey City (New Jersey) by Justin Russel of Juslive Media. It is an honest depiction of the lifestyle of some Jamaicans residing in the New York / New Jersey area as they unplug and unwind.

Now that the clip is out, Ragga Lox and his team are racing to complete the album, which they hope to have out sometime in the Summer.
