INNA VISION TEAMS WITH PHILIPPINE ACT DEWDROP ON CROSS-PACIFIC ANTHEM
Hawai’i’s roots reggae torchbearers Inna Vision have joined forces with Philippine upstarts Dewdrop on Sound Killa, a collaboration that feels inevitable rather than opportunistic.
The numbers tell part of the story. The Philippines consistently ranks among Inna Vision‘s top three Spotify markets. But the real foundation runs deeper. Half of Inna Vision’s lineup carries Filipino ancestry. This is genuine homecoming through music.
Dewdrop, hailing from Tagum City in Davao, represents the vanguard of Philippine neo-dub reggae. Frontman Lee Trunks anchors the band with guitar, vocals, and production that balances tradition with forward momentum. His contribution to Sound Killa brings grit and contemporary urgency to the track’s conscious message.
SOUND KILLA PROVES REGGAE’S ENDURING POWER AS A UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE
Together, the two acts deliver a rallying cry against Babylon. The song channels classic roots values through modern production. Heavy rhythms underscore calls for unity and peaceful resistance. This is music designed for turbulent times.
Sound Killa proves reggae’s enduring power as a universal language. It connects distant shores through shared struggle and ancestral memory. With Inna Vision eyeing Philippine tours ahead, this Pacific alliance promises to deepen.
