You thought it was over? No, the “Hill & Gully” agenda is still active, and more people are paying attention. Yes it has come under fire thanks to the lyrical content from a number of Artists, but even in the mud, there’s something positive emerging from it. Today, one of the more anticipated releases from the Riddim is finally here. Hope Vocals steps up with the “Kumina Medley“.

Di Genius knew he had something special when he took on the task to fully produce Hope Vocals’ “Kumina Medley”. She calls on the ancestors and her Maroon background to deliver something important that the culture needs. Even the great Fae Ellington, who criticized the early selections coming from the Riddim, is onboard with this release, as a cultural figure. Hope taps into the various proverbs and sayings that many of us grew up on, and even gets into the Maroon language for a part of the track. When we talk about culture, this should be the conversation, Jamaica has so much culture, and we need to remember and embrace it. The medley is supported by a music video directed by Shane Creative, and not only do we get a beautiful and cultural performance of the medley, but we get Hope’s backstory shared by her Mother, and a behind-the-scenes look into the creation of the “Kumina Medley”. “Hill & Gully” is on a mission to wake up the nation, and we can’t wait to see what else is in store. Sound di Abeng!
