Kabaka Pyramid

Kabaka Pyramid is a cornerstone of the modern "Reggae Revival" movement, known for blending the lyrical precision of hip-hop with the spiritual foundations of roots reggae. Since his breakout, the Kingston-born artist has earned a reputation as a conscious lyricist whose music serves as a vehicle for social commentary and personal growth. His career reached a definitive milestone with the 2022 release of The Kalling, which took home the Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album. This project, produced largely by Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley, showcased Kabaka's ability to navigate heavy, traditional riddims with a sharp, contemporary flow that resonates across generations.

His presence within the Easy Star Records family is defined by a series of high-caliber collaborations that bridge the gap between various label mainstays. Kabaka has frequently appeared alongside other core artists on the roster, contributing to major projects like Samory I's STRENGTH and the 2024 single “Bruises” with Mortimer and Lila Iké. These connections extend to his work on Jesse Royal's 2025 release NO PLACE LIKE HOME and Royal Blu's SPAIN ROOT, demonstrating a collaborative spirit that is central to the label's ethos of community-driven reggae.

Beyond his studio recordings, Kabaka Pyramid is a formidable live performer whose energy has anchored the Easy Star All-Stars tours and numerous global festivals. His discography on the label—ranging from the hard-hitting “Wrath” to the melodic “Light My Way”—highlights a versatile artist who remains deeply rooted in the Rastafarian faith while constantly evolving his sound. Whether he is trading verses with Protoje or delivering solo anthems like "Well Done," Kabaka continues to be a vital force in the label's mission to push reggae music into new, intellectually engaging territories.
