Vanzo and Greatest Friends light a fire with ‘It Is Not This’ on the California Riddim
Jamaican artist Vanzo delivers a bold and reflective statement on the evocative It Is Not This, produced by the ever-visionary Greatest Friends. Set against the warm sway of the California Riddim, this potent release pulses with the energy of real conviction.
From the very first beat, the track locks you in. Its groove is classic reggae, but with a sharp, modern edge. Vanzo’s voice rides the rhythm like he was born to do it. He sings of misdirection and truth, cutting through the noise with pinpoint clarity.
Lyrically, this is no empty chant. Vanzo questions the world around him, yet his tone remains calm, even empowered. You hear strength, not anger. Insight—not blame. And the hook? Impossible to forget.

What makes It Is Not This so gripping is its balance: fresh production, authentic roots, and a message that sticks. Just when reggae needs a new voice to carry its weight forward, Vanzo steps up.
Already turning heads, this release is a spotlight for Vanzo, a signal flare. There’s more to come, no doubt. But for now, this is a track to play loud, think on, and feel.
