TURBULENCE AND KIMECO TEAR DOWN BABYLON ON THE ROCKSTAR RIDDIM
Cabiria Record and Redgoldgreen release their fiery Rockstar Riddim, bringing together Jamaican heavyweight Turbulence and rising Caribbean star Kimeco across two scorching singles.
Turbulence, aka Big Lion, opens up with Fall!, bringing his trademark gritty-melodic roar to bear. His voice cuts deep. The lyrics crackle with biblical fire, calling out Babylon’s corruption with determined fury. This is conscious reggae at its most militant and unvarnished.
Flip the riddim and you meet Kimeco on Roots Rock. This emerging talent has already turned European heads with her soulful, magnetic delivery. She walks the line between tradition and innovation with effortless grace. Her expressive power confirms she’s no fleeting presence.
ROCKSTAR RIDDIM PROVES CROSS-CULTURAL COLLABORATION CAN PRODUCE GENUINE SPARKS
Producer Duccio B, veteran of Italy’s legendary One Love Hi Powa sound system, architects something genuinely audacious here. He recruits heavy-metal guitarist Flavio Poggi, whose bold six-string attack collides beautifully with Robbie D’s rumbling bass and Shiny D’s ambient keys. The resulting riddim refuses to play safe.
The Rockstar Riddim proves cross-cultural collaboration can produce genuine sparks. It’s available now on major digital platforms.
