IRIE SOULJAH LIFTS THE VEIL ON FAKE FRIENDS WITH ‘I KNOW DEM’

Irie Souljah sends a sharp warning with I Know Dem, the bold final single from his upcoming album World Citizen, out on 1st August on Ineffable Records. Souljah fuses deep reggae roots with a worldly spirit that feels both fresh and timeless.

In I Know Dem, he calls out so-called friends who smile to your face and tear you down behind your back. Lines like “Dem sit and drink and eat up from your plate, Oh I know dem fake” carry a clear message, speaking to anyone who has felt betrayal up close.
