.@FiveSteez, Sly Rankin Speak On The “Wild Jamaicans From Kingston”


It’s been a while since the world has heard from Five Steez. When he wasn’t busy making music, he has been putting the running shoes on overtime, being a part of daily runs, and participating in a few marathons. The time has come for him to get off the track, and focus on this new track called, “Wild Jamaicans From Kingston“.

Produced by Inztinkz and featuring Sly Rankin, Five Steez delivers some commentary on his Island home in, “Wild Jamaicans From Kingston”. The Rappers shed a light on the craziness that gets highlighted on Prime Time News, providing views that elude a few Tourists who only see the Resorts and white sand beaches. They talk about the crime, the body counts, the protests, and the drama, but it’s still home regardless. Production borrows vocals from Hip Hop Icon Nas’ “Thief’s Theme“, and Inztinkz gives the beat a feel that you can’t help but rock to while Steez and Sly paint the pictures. They say there a few types of Jamaica, this is just one of them.

.@FiveSteez, @SonRaw Release “Simple Man” Ahead Of Upcoming Collab Album


For those who’re unaware, Jamaica has a Hip Hop culture that is very active. Some of your favourite Dancehall/Reggae Artists started out as Rappers, or have been heavily influenced by the music. While some of the output reflects on some of the trendy singles and Artists out, there is a sector that respects the elements of the culture, with emphasis on the lyrics. Enter Five Steez who is no stranger on this platform, and has been active on the scene for close to two decades. With a new album on the way, he fires off a single called, “Simple Man“.

Produced by Son Raw, Five Steez does some reminiscing on “Simple Man”. He reflects on some of the experiences good and bad, but also shares some aspects of his day to day life. At the end of the day, he wants to be better, be in better situations, and just live well at that. He taps into his signature delivery here, and the Jazz-influenced sample helps him to get his points across. Five Steez and Son Raw’s “Simple Man” is a track off of their upcoming collaborative project called, “re:DEFined” which is set to be released on July 11 on Bandcamp, and on July 25 on all digital music streaming platforms. Tune in!
