WE RUN THE SCENE: MR. WILLIAMZ AND REGGAE ROAST RECLAIM THE DANCE
When Shy FX dropped this sizzling track to open his 2025 carnival set, crowds knew immediately something special had arrived. We Run The Scene marks the triumphant return of Mr. Williamz, one of dancehall’s most commanding and influential MCs, and sees him join forces with the ever-reliable Reggae Roast to deliver magic that hits hard from the very first bar.
Released on the Evidence Music label, the track is a merging of classic 90s dancehall vibes and a production style that feels fresh, physical and built for big speakers.
Low-end pressure drives the rhythm relentlessly forward. Its raw beats lock in tight as Williamz steps up. His unmistakable vocal presence cuts through every layer.
IT’S THE KIND OF TRACK THAT MAKES A SELECTOR REACH FOR THE VOLUME
It’s the kind of track that makes a sound system flex, a festival crowd surge and a selector reach for the volume.
We Run The Scene serves as the blazing lead single from the forthcoming We Run The Scene EP, due in May. Pure, heavyweight sound system energy, start to finish.
