Stream/Download The “Natural Vibes Riddim”

Shortly after teasing out the lead single, Reggae Vibes Music – the Jamaican record label with offices in New York, Atlanta and Kingston – released the Natural Vibes Riddim. The project dropped in early February (2024), and almost immediately went viral within the global reggae community.

It first captured the attention of reggae lovers because of the artists featured on the project: Busy Signal, Jah Cure, Turbulence, Pressure Busspipe, Powerman, Lutan Fyah, Kurtiouss, Jay Shephard, Rufftop Rock I, and Ginjah. However, once they press play, listeners soon become enraptured by the pulsating reggae rhythm, the beautiful melodies, and the messages about love, race and spirituality. 

Using their tried and tested marketing methods, Reggae Vibes Music has secured high-level placements for the compilation on reggae platforms in various countries. Additionally, several songs from the rhythm have been added to top-tier reggae playlists, and can be heard on some of the biggest reggae radio shows all over the world. 

If you haven’t done so as yet, stream and/or download the Natural Vibes Riddim on iTunes, Deezer, Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Boomplay, YouTube, Pandora, etc.
