His debut album Kontraband, was met with critical acclaim, containing hits such as Kontraband featuring Damian Marley, Kaught Up with a popular music video that found home on BET, and Reggae Music. Kabaka Pyramid is well known for songs like Warrior, Well Done, Can’t Breathe, which focused more keenly on the underprivileged who often are overlooked and ignored by society – and the powers that be, and Reggae Music that took on a life of its own. The name “Kabaka” is Ugandan for “King” and the long-lasting survival of the Pyramids of ancient Africa represent his desire for longevity in the music and deep connection to Kemetic roots leaving messages for generations to come. Not only is Damian Marley featured, but he is also the producer of this single. This missing context is remarkably packed into immaculate verses for which both artists are well known. Red, Gold & Green is brimming with the nuanced context often missing from the message. Find information on all of Sizzla’s upcoming concerts, tour dates and ticket information for 2023-2024.

Red Gold & Green, three colours, which signifies so much too so many.
