ras-i

Ras-i’s music can be classified as Roots Reggae with notes of old school Rhythm and Blues and a little Funk, drawing his influence from exemplary Reggae veterans like the Abyssinians, Brigadier Jerry, Bob Marley, Dennis Brown, Uroy, and Peter Tosh. As well as Rhythm and Blues acts, Smokey Robinson, and Teddy Pendergrass. In fact, one would say Ras‑I’s sound adds a refreshing twist to the traditional Reggae style that the new generation can also gravitate to, as he soulfully yet creatively taps into African and Dancehall grooves.

Ras‑I’s uniqueness lies in his ability to blend different genres while still maintaining the message of consciousness and love in his songs. "I make music to uplift and enlighten people. My music is relatable, and it still gives people a positive perspective on life…" Ras‑I's music knocks on the door of your conscience and gives you compassionate advice like an old friend on a Sunday afternoon. The prolific artist is focused on creating a timeless catalogue of songs, one that he hopes will improve the legacy of Reggae legends before him.
