GAPPY RANKS & SGT. REMO UNITE ON ‘HARD WORKING PEOPLE’ ANTHEM FOR EVERYDAY HEROES
Picture a packed dance, the bassline steady, and voices rising together on a chorus that celebrates strength in unity. That is the spirit of Hard Working People, the stirring new collaboration from UK legend Gappy Ranks and Texas-based Sgt. Remo. Produced by Chilean dub innovator Kutral Dub, the track arrives via King Remo Music as an anthem for resilience and respect.
The song’s heartbeat is its message: “Hard-working people, you make the world go ‘round. Don’t ever let them get you down.”
Gappy’s melodic touch glides over the riddim, while Sgt. Remo’s commanding verses ground the track with grit and honesty. Kutral Dub’s layered production bridges classic roots textures with a vibrant, modern edge, ensuring the anthem resonates across generations.
A SOUNDTRACK FOR THOSE WHO KEEP THE WORLD TURNING
For Sgt. Remo, the project carries personal weight. “This is a special song for me,” he shared. “Gappy is an artist I’ve looked up to for many years. To be able to collaborate on a song with him is a very proud moment.” His rise through tours in Chile, Mexico, and a headline slot at Rototom Colombia 2025 proves his growing reach across the Americas.
Together, Gappy Ranks and Sgt. Remo bring both legacy and vision. Hard Working People is not only a celebration of perseverance, it is a soundtrack for those who keep the world turning.
