Keznamdi joins Collie Buddz on tour

-

Reggae artiste Keznamdi is preparing for his North American tour with critically acclaimed artiste Collie Buddz.

The tour will help to showcase Keznamdi’s highly anticipate­d album Skyline Levels Vol.1

He recently dropped the single Love Mi Nuff, a dancehall/hiphop record produced by dancehall legend Suku. The song introduces a fresh perspectiv­e, sound, and vibe to Keznamdi’s style.

The video’s visual aesthetic sparks curiosity within the guidelines of demonstrat­ing juxtaposit­ion among life, values, and the company one keeps.

The video was shot by Patroni, who is doing great work with artistes such as J Cole for the documentar­y Dreamville, and G Perico, who just signed a partnershi­p deal with Roc Nation.

In 2015, Keznamdi made waves around the world by joining forces with ZHU and A-Trak on their crossover hit As Crazy As It Is,

which hit more than 10 million Spotify streams.

The single Champion saw him deliver yet another reggae number one. The artiste’s Stoner’s Remix series soared to peak popularity, parallel to Herbs, his take on Rihanna’s Work, which received looks from popular music magazines Pitchfork and The Fader.

In 2017, he dropped the Skyline Levels Vol. 1 EP and headlined his sold-out solo tour, packing local and national venues.

The project’s triumphant single, Victory, featuring Chronixx, scored more than 1.2 million YouTube views and 500,000 streams, setting the tone for the release of Love Mi Nuff.

The 27-year-old musician has been in the studio diligently producing his own work, with exciting projects to be announced soon.

Keznamdi’s holistic approach to music is not confined to a given sound but is rather a blend of reggae (as the foundation), roots, dancehall, and hip-hop.
