QUAN NELSON CUTS DEEP ON ‘DRAW BLOOD’ AND THE KEYS RIDDIM
Quan Nelson is on a mission. The Kingston-based dynamic vocalist steps into the spotlight on Draw Blood, the third chapter in Addis Records’ celebrated The Keys riddim series, following T-Natty’s Milk And Honey and Marky Lyrical’s Ways Of The World, and delivers something genuinely special.
Released through Addis Records and Evidence Music labels, Draw Blood announces itself boldly. Nelson’s vocal delivery is magnetic, weaving soulful melodic lines through the riddim’s rich one drop grooves with effortless authority. The production shines, feeling polished yet gloriously organic.
ROOTS MUSIC WITH GENUINE PURPOSE AND VITALITY
Lyrically, Nelson goes for the jugular. The track connects themes of strength and resilience with steely conviction. Listeners who’ve followed this riddim series will recognise Addis Records’ unmistakable commitment to meaningful, uplifting content, and Draw Blood honours that tradition with real confidence.
Three releases in, The Keys riddim stands as a compelling series. Quan Nelson raises the stakes considerably. This is roots music with genuine purpose and vitality.

ABOUT QUAN NELSON
Quan Nelson is quietly becoming one of reggae’s most compelling voices. Early singles showcased warm, unhurried delivery, but Jah Soldier marked a turning point, a roots meditation with genuine defiant spirit. Good Reggae Song followed, cementing his lived-in, melodic style.
Collaborations with Jamaican, UK and European producers broadened his reach, earning tastemaker playlist spots and award nominations along the way.
