Connection Riddim (2020) – Kazi Ya Shamir

Produced by Kazi Ya Shamir in 2020, Connection Riddim is a four-track reggae project that keeps the focus on a small, tidy artist lineup: Cathy Matete on Get Lifted, Nubian Flame on All I Need, Tingseh on Restored, and Shamir Tadeiya on Tell Me Again. The release leans on a simple showcase format, with each singer given room to carry the same foundation in a slightly different voice. Cathy Matete’s Get Lifted is the best-known cut from the set, and the whole rhythm reflects a producer-led approach rather than a crowded compilation. Kazi Ya Shamir’s name is the only production credit attached to the project, which keeps the release closely tied to one studio identity.
