KashieF Lindo’s latest single, “Where Do I Fit In (RMK),” is making waves across the reggae scene. Released at the end of July, the song has steadily climbed the charts thanks to growing support from club and radio DJs. Last week, it officially entered the Top 10 on South Florida’s Reggae Chart, landing at #8, while also holding the #15 spot on the New York Reggae Chart.

The track’s rise reflects both its strong emotional pull and high-quality production. “Where Do I Fit In (RMK)” showcases KashieF Lindo’s soulful delivery and introspective songwriting, backed by a smooth, classic reggae sound that connects with listeners. Produced by legendary musician and hitmaker Willie Lindo, the song captures a rare blend of reflection and rhythm that resonates deeply.

Written by Willie and KashieF Lindo, the record is published by Hywill Music (ASCAP) and features a team of top-tier musicians: Paul Douglas on drums, the late Robbie Shakespeare on bass, Willie Lindo on guitar, and KashieF Lindo on piano, organ, keyboards, and background vocals. Recording and mixing were done at HeavyBeat Recording Studio, with engineering by the HeavyBeat Crew.

“Where Do I Fit In (RMK)” is available on all streaming platforms.
