Eazi Money x I-Octane – By My Side

Eazi Money links with I-Octane on By My Side, a lovers rock-leaning dancehall cut that frames loyalty and emotional dependability against a clean, contemporary groove. The song first surfaced in 2022 as an Eazi Money single on Swooosh Entertainment, and this new billing pairs him with one of Jamaica’s most familiar modern singjays for a version that pushes the hook’s romantic message harder.

I-Octane, the Jamaican singer and deejay long known for balancing radio-friendly melodies with street-rooted dancehall grit, gives the record its weight. His voice has always worked best on songs that carry feeling without getting soft, and that is the lane this one sits in. Eazi Money’s side of the record keeps things current and melodic, with the production staying light on its feet rather than crowding the vocal. The pulse feels steady and mid-tempo, the sort of rhythm that leaves room for a singalong chorus and a smooth back-and-forth between the two voices.

Swooosh Entertainment continues to shape Eazi Money’s catalogue with a focus on modern reggae and dancehall singles, and By My Side sits neatly inside that run. It is the kind of collaboration that makes sense on paper and lands even better in the mix: a straightforward relationship song with enough polish for streaming, but enough character in the delivery to keep it from feeling generic.
