Lustre Kings' releases groundbreaking "New Day" Riddim

Linking the original Diego "Fuego" Campo track to his own euphonic blend of reggae, hip-hop, and R&B, Lustre Kings' Digital Ancient delivers big-time on NEW DAY. With Hendrix-style guitar riffs over a rugged, Nyabinghi heartbeat, the sound is fully fresh yet familiar. The first single to be released from Noble Society's forthcoming album TAKE CHARGE, NEW DAY is a song of promise; encouraging spiritual and political progress. Beginning as a single, and now a groundbreaking riddim segment album, NEW DAY is the first of it's kind to be released out of Jamaica; featuring a collection of top artists from across the Caribbean, including the hot Virgin Islands roots movement, Trinidad, Jamaica, and Brooklyn, NY. From Trinidad, Khari Kill breaks off a sizzler WHILE I'M LIVING, while breakout artist Marlon Asher sings a duet with the angelic Princess Menen on SITUATIONS. Representing V.I. Roots, is Midnite's lead singer Vaughn Benjamin combining an ancient voice and peaceful delivery on TRODDING ON. Niyorah gives us his original and sincere love song ALWAYS, and St. Croix's Ras Attitude eloquently croons to all the ladies on the immaculate ROYAL BLESS. Jamaican artists include longtime Lustre Kings' talent, Yami Bolo on HUMAN HEART and top-shelf Lutan Fyah with the defiant IF JAH IS FOR YOU. Other rising stars include Natty King, Norrisman, Abijah, Mark Messam, and a 1st time solo appearance on LK from urban reggae veteran Rankin' Scroo. Infectious and innovative, NEW DAY conjures images of past, present, and undoubtedly, the future of reggae culture.
