As November 2025 unfolds, the reggae and dancehall world pulses with fresh releases from heavyweights and rising stars alike. Vybz Kartel returns with a new single titled Guapi — a Greedy Lion-produced track that teases his collaboration with the buzzy luxury streetwear brand of the same name, injecting fashion-inflected swagger into his signature dancehall rhythm.
Popcaan delivers what many consider one of his most resonant songs this month, Carrying It Home — from his forthcoming body of work — touching on themes of ambition, responsibility, and homeland pride with lyrics about providing for family and honouring Jamaica.
Dancehall’s ever-provocative voice Shatta Wale hits back in the spotlight with Who Send You — a trap-dancehall cut driven by sparse, raw riddim, where his confrontational lyrics reflect ongoing tensions in the social media and music spheres.
From the Caribbean-flavored soca/dancehall mix, Kes pairs up with Benjai on Carnival Friend — a joyful, celebratory anthem built on the “Blue Phone” riddim that blends festivity, camaraderie, and carnival spirit.
Rising voices also make waves: Kingston-based singer Cholita teams up with Skillibeng on Without You — a moody, atmospheric song that fuses alternative R&B elements with dancehall production, exploring themes of love, longing, and vulnerability.
Elsewhere on the fresh-picks list, new entries such as Armanii’s Champion — a gritty, weathered track reflecting resilience and pride in a post-Hurricane Jamaica — signal the depth and diversity of the November cycle.
As the month wraps, this wave of releases underscores the vibrancy of reggae, dancehall, and soca in late 2025 — artists balancing legacy, reinvention, and new-generation momentum across riddims old and new.
