Rufftop Rock I, the Rastafarian singer who is known worldwide for his roots music, has just shared what many are calling a lovers-rock reggae fused with afrobeat single, titled Commitment.
Although recorded many years ago, Rock I and his team have only just put out the soothing track in mid February. To that end, it was strategically published on all digital music platforms just days before valentine’s.
Commitment is a love song. In a very sensual and passionate manner Rufftop Rock I tells his lady how much he loves her and enjoys having her around. Listening to the record one gets the sense that she was in the studio with him while the words were being sung. This is because the passion is palpable!
Commitment was produced by both Rufftop Rock I and John Marcus, the producer who is known most for his affiliation with Sizzla Kalonji‘s Judgement Yard. He is also the CEO and owner of Chop Chop Productions, the record label on which Commitment was released. On a more personal note, John Marcus and Rufftop Rock I are first cousins, so a collaboration was inevitable.
