Music is limitless, and when it comes to music taste, many are diverse in that field. While many would believe the Caribbean population only cares for the sounds of Reggae, Soca, Latin Music, Hip Hop, Afrobeats, R&B, and Pop in a sense, there are those who not only love, but dabbled in the fields of Heavy Metal, Rock, EDM, Trance, or even going back to the days of Disco to name a few. Enter Dxrkknght, a Florida-based Post-Punk Recording Artist who brings out his own wave of “Trap Goth” music. He also shares a Jamaican background. Why did we bring him up? Because he dropped a Post-Punk single called, “VEX“!
Done in collaboration with Jamaican-American Artist Indie Anthony and produced by GREYSKIES, we get a Post-Punk (also known as New Musick) song by Drkknght done entirely in Patois. “VEX” speaks about a friendship that became distant in a couple of ways, had disagreements, and everything has left one party feeling confused, and trying to find out what made things change. Hearing the Jamaican influence on something that many would refer to as a “White man thing” is not a new phenomenon as there are just as many Jamaican remixes to almost any music out there, and many readers would be surprised at how far we’ve gone with it. Take one of our Oldies Sunday entries featuring legendary US-based Punk Rock band Bad Brains, or this one that helped to open the door for Japanese Dancehall, or even this Disco hit done by a Jamaican, and yes, Vybz Kartel dabbled in Rock too. We deh everyweh!
Drkknght looks to create a bigger presence with his Trap Goth, Alt Rock, and Dark Wave music to more parts of the world, and connect with new listeners, territories, and concepts. Tek in this one if you dare!
