CHAMPION SPIRIT SURGES THROUGH MIDNIGHT RIDERS’ WE A DI CHAMPION
Midnight Riders steps into the spotlight with We A Di Champion, a roots anthem shaped during long studio hours with Irie Ites and The Ligerians. The sessions brought together warm analogue tones, focused musicianship, and a steady creative drive. The result feels alive from the first bar and sets the stage for a story about resilience and pride.
The track rides The Ligerians’ solid riddim, mixed by Roberto Sánchez, and the sound hits with weight and clarity. Crisp instrumentation supports a vocal that moves with intent. The message comes through with strength. You hear drive, belief and the push to stay true to your values.
We A Di Champion’s blend of vintage textures and modern detail gives the song a rich identity. It speaks to longtime roots listeners while offering fresh energy for new ears. The release also arrives while Midnight Riders tours France for the first time, performing across the country until the end of December 2025.
MIDNIGHT RIDERS DELIVERS A MESSAGE OF PRIDE AND DISCIPLINE, SHAPED BY A RIDDIM THAT HITS
Spiritual victory runs through the lyrics. You follow a call to rise above hardship and hold firm to culture and faith. The song salutes those who keep moving forward when pressure builds.
Dub Champion completes the release. Mixed at the Irie Ites Studio, it lets the riddim expand in bold, swirling patterns and offers a vibrant companion to the vocal cut.
