In 2024, Dollarman and his team made concerted efforts to expand his reach, particularly among enthusiasts of reggae music, and they were successful. Despite releasing only two singles within the twelve-month period (We Belong & So Tired), he remained steadfast in promoting both tracks, resulting in their placement on New York’s Reggae Chart. Furthermore, these songs transcended state lines and garnered favorable placements on reggae platforms worldwide.

Dollarman has expressed a clear intention to maintain this forward momentum this year. Before resuming work on new projects, he took a moment to pen an open thank-you note to all who contributed to making 2024 a remarkable year for him.

He stated: “I just want to take this time to thank all my fans and supporters nationally and internationally for their amazing support in 2024. It was an amazing year for my reggae track ‘We Belong.’ I truly appreciate the love and tremendous support. For everyone who is sending me messages wanting to hear more from Dollarman in 2025—I heard you loud and clear—and I am already putting in work to provide you with music you can feel… Music with substance. Music with a message. I wish each and every one prosperity for this new year. Stay tuned for Dollarman 2025.”

This heartfelt acknowledgment not only reflects Dollarman’s gratitude but also sets an exciting tone for what fans can expect moving forward into the new year.

King Remo Music is proud to announce its collaboration with Jamaican reggae legend Ranking Joe on the new single “Robot,” which premiered on Friday, January 3rd, 2025, across all major music platforms. Produced by Kutral Dub from Chile, this infectious track is sure to inspire listeners to engage in the playful robot dance before its conclusion. However, beneath the lively and catchy chorus lies a poignant message: Ranking Joe delivers a compelling warning regarding the potential ramifications of increasing automation in both the workplace and daily life.

Ranking Joe, an iconic figure in the early Jamaican dancehall scene, began his illustrious career at just 15 years old with his debut single “Gun Court,” recorded at Coxsone Dodd’s Studio One. Throughout his career, he has collaborated with esteemed producers such as Bunny Lee, Joe Gibbs, Henry “Jungo” Laws, Massive B, and Mungo’s Hi-Fi among others.

“Robot” serves as a precursor to the highly anticipated album “Reggae SoulJahs Worldwide Vol. 5,” set for release on January 10, 2025 by King Remo Music. This compilation will also showcase contributions from notable artists including Gappy Ranks, Sgt. Remo himself, Javier Alerta, Soulfiya & Gucci Boss, Tikaf, Nego Hights, Oskart, and Shak Manaly.

As one of the leading independent reggae labels in the United States based out of San Antonio, Texas, King Remo Music was founded by Sergio Ortiz—better known as reggae artist Sgt. Remo—who continues to champion authentic reggae music while fostering collaborations that resonate globally.
