about

Yo! I'm very happy to present you my next release. This 12" record contains two riddims of mine with some outstanding vocals by Isayah, Dantey and Kali Green!

There are two somehow ironic facts about this record: Firstly, there is the history of the "Tribulations Riddim". I've built this riddim the evening Isayah and I received the evicition note of the room where we had our first studio – just after having fixed another big problem exactly the same day. I've finally managed to bring a new computer to the studio because the old one broke down a few weeks before. We feared for all the data on the hard drives and even more I didn't really have the money to replace it. Luckily everything was fine – still the both of us weren't really able to celebrate, now on the search for a new affordable room in Munich to live our passion, which is a real challenge. On that evening I made this riddim which really spoke from my heart: On the one side there was the joy of having solved that computer problem, on the other hand the second setback in such short time. Isayah started writing his lyrics from the moment I started working on the music. The outcome is a tune with a deep blue, but still a somehow uplifting vibe and message: The problems we are facing in our day to day life are nothing but challenges which are waiting to be overcome and they are a chance to become stronger. Keep a clear head and somehow you’ll get through this. Also Danteys message adds up with the vibe: We are all in this together and should hold the back of each other. Who would have thought back then that the tune would see the light of day in these turbulent times?

Secondly, I like that Jah Chalice have decided to combine the tune with a B-Side riddim & lyrics of the exactly opposite vibe, spreading joy, upliftment and a message of self-empowerment! Both tunes "Shine On" and "Check How Me Talk" are giving a lot of strength and are about improving self-confidence, which is now really what we need! True lyrical fire by both MCs. It’s a special honor to welcome Kali Green on this one!
