CJ Records has released “Slow Down Riddim”, a compelling six-track reggae compilation featuring new music from some of the genre’s most respected voices. The project brings together Mikey General, Sizzla Kalonji, Lutan Fyah, Luciano, Norris Man, and Turbulence—each delivering original tracks that showcase their lyrical power and individual artistry.

Every artist on the compilation brings a distinct message. Sizzla seeks spiritual direction on “Guide & Protect Me,” while Lutan Fyah asserts his roots and authority on “King’s Son.”Mikey General uplifts with “Never Let Them Let You Down,” echoing a similar spirit of resilience heard in Luciano’s “Jah Will See You Through.” Turbulence shifts gears with a heartfelt love song, “Always on My Mind,” and Norris Man turns his focus to the youth with “Big Bad Chucky”, calling attention to the violence affecting their communities.

“Slow Down Riddim” officially dropped on July 25, 2025, and is now available across all major digital platforms including Apple Music, Spotify, Deezer, iTunes, Amazon Music, and Boomplay. With a lineup of conscious voices and a rich, roots-driven sound, the project stands as a timely and meaningful addition to the reggae landscape.

“I Got A Song” represents a compelling collaboration between Ghanaian music luminary and four-time GRAMMY nominee Rocky Dawuni and Cedella Marley, a three-time GRAMMY award winner and daughter of reggae icons Bob and Rita Marley.

The song draws its inspiration from the Australian Aboriginal concept of “Songlines,” which serves as a cultural navigation system embodying ancestral wisdom that links people and places. This composition stands as a profound tribute to humanity, skillfully intertwining spiritual connections from Africa to the Diaspora and beyond, and delivering a timeless message of unity, love, and cultural solidarity.

The accompanying music video, directed by emerging talents Ebenezer Brew (also known as Slingshot) in Ghana and Jolver Cutino in Miami, vividly interprets the song’s message through striking visuals, dynamic imagery, and compelling narrative. The video’s vibrant energy reflects the themes of joy, optimism, and global fellowship inherent in the song, harmonizing seamlessly with the rich musical arrangement crafted by Dawuni and Marley.
