REVOLUTION RELOADED: SIZZLA STRIKES WITH IRIE ITES ON ‘REVOLUTION’

Sizzla isn’t pulling punches. Teaming up again with Irie Ites on production, he breathes new fire into Revolution—a blazing revamp built with rugged hip-hop elements on the iconic Strange Things Riddim. Released by Irie Ites Records and Evidence Music, this release is raw and on point. It hits different.

Originally rooted in a John Holt classic, this version dials up the urgency. From the jump, the track throws you into a sound clash between heavy one-drop roots and boom-bap grit. 

Sizzla tears through the mix, spitting truth with vision. He lays bare the weight of poverty, injustice, and broken systems, but never loses sight of unity and love as the path forward.

SIZZLA TEARS THROUGH THE MIX, SPITTING TRUTH WITH VISION

This version doesn’t just update a classic—it weaponises it. With Willy William on the riddim, and Irie Ites’ elite production squad (Jericho, Jérémie Nonorgue, Lucas Jaubert) behind the desk, the sound is crisp, confrontational, and built for big speakers.

Revolution is a warning flare. Press play, stand firm.
