Original Koffee wasn’t going to let the Summer leave without dropping more content. While she readies her sophomore album, she’s keeping her audience tuned in with Social Media updates, and new music of course. She had the people turned up with her Skillibeng collaboration “Rapid Fyah“, but this time around, she’s taking things down a notch. Get familiar with, “Summer Fruits (Na Na)“.
Produced by The FaNaTiX, Koffee takes her listeners on a trip to Jamaica in, “Summer Fruits (Na Na)”. She turned down the rapid flow a bit, but brings in melodies throughout as she talks about the qualities of her Island home, and how things are when she’s in the place. She could’ve shown you anywhere else in the world, but home is where the heart is. Koffee looks to score big with this release, and with a new album on the horizon, she may be looking for a few plaques on the wall, and another GRAMMY. Stay tuned for her next move. All fruits ripe.

Start your Friday with a boost courtesy of our newest entry today! GRAMMY-winning Recording Artist Original Koffee made a return to the scene last year with the single, “KOFFEE“. While many believed she would be flooding the streets with new music, she is moving with strategy here, and it has been working out. The demands grow and the anticipation is heavy for new content, and we know the music will connect. Today, Original Koffee gives us something to talk about with the new single, “Rapid Fyah“.
Produced by Onugba Enojo Paul/EJ Fya/Isatta Sheriff Cesay and released through Promised Land Recordings, Original Koffee calls up Skillibeng for the single, “Rapid Fyah”. The Lyricists step out strong here as they take on the beat in an attacking form with rapid flows and lyrics that will have many rewinding. Many are familiar with Skilli’s various flows, and Koffee gets in the zone here, giving us ideas that these two could do a project together. With a music video directed by Yoni Lappin, we get various shots of Jamaican life with a look into living spaces, the Band culture, Horse Racing, Bike life, and the music culture. During the highlights, Original Koffee and Skillibeng go in on their verses, and we get an overall clean visual. Will this release mean even more is on the way for this year? Stay tuned.

We have officially crossed the half mark of the 2020s, and a lot has happened. In Jamaica’s music scene, many new Artists and movements emerged, some fell by the wayside just as quickly as they get the break, and others never made it to the 2020s for one reason or another. We remember those who passed away, and may their music and works live on. In remembering the first half of the 2020s, we look back at a few songs that made impact in the 2020s so far. These songs may have officially given the Artists their big break, rejuvenated a career or few, set Social Media and the streets on fire, and crossed over to the International market. Here are 10 of them in no particular order.
2022 was a year for Dancehall Artist Valiant. While he was building his career for a number of years, his name got the people’s attention thanks to a TikTok video. The video, which found him dressed in Ralph Lauren, gave the birth to the phrase, “Kotch E Hat A lie?“, which found life on Social Media thanks to various posts using the sound. From there, Valiant would capitalize off the buzz with singles like “St. Mary” and “North Carolina“. Those singles enjoyed love in the streets, but it was the Tarick-produced “Dunce Cheque” that took over households, and took flight to various parts of the world. The music video quickly hit over 1 Million views in a couple days, the single overall scored streaming numbers in the millions while securing a place in Dancehall and Social Media, and caused a few controversies thanks to the rise of the “Dunce” movement. Valiant officially became a star, and he keeps the fire going in 2026.
In 2020, people were made aware of an upcoming Dancehall Artist named, Skeng. The Spanish Town native was armed with aggressive lyrics and a presence that would unleash brimstone if he was approached the wrong way. He started to make noise with the gun-toting single “Brrp“, but it was his 2021 release “Gvnman Shift” that would open up the gates for him. His stance as an Intellectual who carefully detailed his badness throughout, placed him on the forefront of Dancehall music. The John Coop/DiTruth-produced “Gvnman Shift” enjoyed viral success, and even had kids in Basic School/Kindergarten reciting the lyrics word for word. Skeng became a star in the 2020s, with hit singles quickly following, and he successfully crossed over to the overseas market thanks to his collaborations with Rapper Nicki Minaj. Ay BWOY!
There are many forms of Coffee, but there is only one Original Koffee. Since the GRAMMY-winning Artist emerged in the late 2010s and scored with her breakout single, “Toast“, the expectations were high and plenty. She made history, she secured Record Deals and high profile collaborations, her name rang bells from the Radios in Jamaica, to stages around the world, to the speakers in the White House, and she’s destined to do even more. Despite the success, controversies came along. From questions about her sexuality, to rumors about a pregnancy, to Media Outlets reporting her being let go from Record Labels, she never let them distract her from the mission of bringing good music to the people. Some tried to count her out, but she returns to the scene with the new single, “KOFFEE“.
Produced by GuiltyBeatz, Original Koffee (“Original” was added recently, less confusion) steps up to the stage to solidify her presence once again with, “KOFFEE”. Proclaiming that you can’t find no one sicker than her, except for Dancehall Artist Masicka, she’s charged up to dominate the scene once again, bringing along a flow that will have listeners rewinding to fully absorb. Whatever is said about her, she pushes them all to side because it’s her moment to shine, and stand out among the clones and foes. Whatever you knew about her before, she left that behind to become a new and improved Koffee. Her visuals are just as flashy as her lyrics, and with Josh Valle and Shane Creative handling directorial duties, Koffee takes the streets to make a few appearances. It’s safe to say a new project is on the way, and once Promised Land Recordings handles things right, the Original Koffee will shake up the place like it’s 2018 all over again. 1 Koffee, never 2.
