WORD, SOUND & POWER: RICHIE CULTURE EXPANDS HIS VISION WITH DIS MUSIC
Richie Culture steps forward once again, offering an evocative body of work with Dis Music, his fifth EP. The Moseley-born reggae artist delivers six tracks shaped in collaboration with long-standing partner Robbie Melody, released on Trench Rd Roots Records. Together, they build on their shared foundation, weaving rockers, rub-a-dub, and contemporary roots into a sound that balances tradition with bold energy.
Richie’s pen stays sharp. He writes about family, unity, and resilience, urging listeners toward a brighter vibration. These are heartfelt reflections, not empty words, grounded in his lived experience and Rastafari faith. His music carries the weight of challenges faced, yet radiates hope, strength, and togetherness.

This release also marks a creative shift. Richie steps further into the production process, shaping hooks, drum patterns, basslines, and textures. It’s an evolution in his artistry, reflecting his growing connection to the craft and his mission to let word and sound move as one.
Dis Music arrives on all major digital platforms, with a 12” 180g vinyl edition following through Bandcamp and select retailers. Richie Culture and Robbie Melody continue to prove that roots reggae remains a living, breathing force.
