Fifteen years after Rebel Music introduced Kabaka Pyramid to the world, he returns to the spirit of that breakthrough project with Rebel Music – The Lyrics Tape. Rather than revisiting the past, the project reinterprets the raw energy, lyricism, and conscious messaging that defined his early sound through a modern lens. Across 10 tracks, Kabaka pairs hard-hitting hip hop-influenced production, reggae basslines, and soulful samples with themes of upliftment, militancy, reflection, and spiritual resilience. His first full-length release since the Grammy-winning The Kalling, The Lyrics Tape is an intentional return to the lyrical focus and uncompromising authenticity that established him as one of reggae's most respected voices.
