RASTAVELI MC STEPS FORWARD ON TOWERING STEPPER CUT ‘JAH PLAN’
In smoke-filled basements and outdoor sound clashes across Russia, Rastaveli MC’s track Jah Plan is already turning heads. Artem Kostyuk, better known as Rastaveli MC, carries words that cut clean through the noise. His conscious lyrics, rooted in lived experience, have earned him respect as both a performer and a messenger. With each appearance, he has built a reputation for clarity, conviction, and presence.
Now he turns that energy toward Jah Plan, a collaboration released on Dubophonic Records with emerging dub producer Dub Healer. Known for his analogue imperfections and heavy one-take riddims, Dub Healer sets the foundation, but it is Rastaveli who drives the track forward. His verses rise above the rhythm, steady and commanding, adding depth and urgency to the stepper groove.
RASTAVELI’S CONSCIOUS LYRICS HAVE EARNED HIM RESPECT AS A PERFORMER AND MESSENGER
The release arrives in two cuts: a full vocal version and a stripped dub mix. The vocal cut places Rastaveli front and centre, his voice framed by thundering basslines and tense percussion. The dub version opens the rhythm further, spiralling delay and echo around fragments of his delivery, letting the message resonate in new ways.
Jah Plan captures the essence of sound system culture, balancing the raw power of performance with the craft of the studio. For Rastaveli, it is another defining chapter in a career built on truth and resonance.
