On October 3rd, 2025, roots warrior Tydal Kamau released his latest single, “L.I.V”, a dancehall track that blends conscious lyrics with an infectious rhythm. Produced by Dunkirk Native, the song captures Tydal’s signature flow and delivery, making it an instant replay-worthy anthem.

“L.I.V” is a meditation on stepping back from life’s pressures and finding peace in simplicity. Tydal speaks openly about the stress of bills and disloyalty but emphasizes that true comfort comes from solitude, family, and the blessings of the Most High. His words encourage listeners to embrace self-assurance and spiritual grounding in the midst of daily struggles.

The track arrived with an official video, also released on October 3rd. Directed by Three Visions and edited by Navardo Graham, the visual places Tydal in natural surroundings, reinforcing the song’s message of tranquility and self-alignment.

Both the single and video are now available, with “L.I.V” streaming across all major platforms and the visual accessible on Tydal Kamau’s YouTube channel.

Dancehall artist D’Angel has surprised fans with the release of her latest single, “Work & Believe”. Known for her versatility as a singer, actress, and model, the Jamaican star takes a refreshing turn with this motivational track, using a lively dancehall rhythm to push her audience toward ambition and perseverance.

In the song, D’Angel speaks directly to listeners, urging them to seize opportunities and make the most of their time. She emphasizes that everyone has the same 24 hours in a day, and success comes down to determination and belief. Her message is simple but powerful: if she can achieve her goals, so can they—so long as they “work and believe.”

At just 2 minutes and 19 seconds, the track is short but impactful, leaving fans compelled to hit replay as soon as it ends. In a genre often dominated by themes of money, relationships, and sexuality, “Work & Believe” stands out as a rare, uplifting anthem from a female artist.

Released on September 26, 2025, through Upstate Records, the single is now available across major streaming platforms, including Apple Music, Spotify, Deezer, Pandora, Amazon Music, and iTunes.

Dancehall artist Laden has teamed up with producer Di Genius, the son of reggae legend Freddie McGregor, to release a laid-back, captivating new single titled “My Place”.

Shared on September 14, Laden uses the track to celebrate his community, acknowledging that although he is renowned worldwide, he remains humble and committed to the neighborhood from which he came. Simple as it may seem, this is notable because we often hear stories of accomplished artists who are either unable or unwilling to return to their old communities once they’ve become successful.

The official video for “My Place” was also uploaded to YouTube on the aforementioned date. If you have not yet seen it, click here or on the image above to check it out, and remember to like, comment, and share.
