The Autos x Kxng Izem – Clean Energy produced by Easy Star Records 2026
Clean Energy finds The Autos in a different pocket from the heavier, rootsier dub-by-way-of-sound-system material they can be associated with, and that shift suits Kxng Izem well. Released on May 15, 2026 through Easy Star Records, the single plays like a bright, forward-moving reggae cut with a clear message rather than a moody late-night piece. The song is centered on keeping your energy clean and staying clear of negative influence, but it does that without getting preachy. The production has a lively, polished feel, and Izem’s vocal delivery brings the right kind of lift to match it.
What makes the record click is the balance between message and movement. The Autos keep the rhythm open enough for the words to breathe, while still pushing enough bass and bounce to give the tune some drive. Kxng Izem comes across as direct and encouraging, which is exactly what this kind of song needs; the hook lands because it feels conversational instead of forced. It is the sort of single that works as a motivational anthem without losing the easy flow that keeps people listening.
For Easy Star, a release like this fits the label’s wider reggae and dub catalogue, but it also shows how flexible that camp can be when it links a production team with a newer voice. The track runs 3: 53, which is just enough time for the idea to make its point and leave a strong aftertaste. With The Autos and Kxng Izem pairing up here, Clean Energy lands as a timely reminder that good reggae doesn’t always have to shout to make its message stick.
