Modern roots reggae with a militant spirit and timeless voice. Never Stop is the powerful 2023 full-length album from Jamaican roots reggae singer Chezidek, a key voice in 21st-century conscious reggae. Released by French label Irie Ites Records, known for their high-fidelity productions and collaborations with legendary reggae figures, this LP fuses traditional roots aesthetics with a modern sonic palette—anchored in heavy basslines, militant drums, and spiritual upliftment.
Chezidek, originally from St. Ann Parish—the birthplace of Bob Marley—carries forward the torch of Rastafari consciousness and lyrical militancy. His distinct vocal tone, blending ethereal vibrato with sharp clarity, has drawn comparisons to artists like Midnite, Luciano, and Sizzla, while retaining a unique delivery that makes him instantly recognizable on any riddim.
With production handled by Irie Ites, the album balances analog warmth and digital depth, often weaving in dubwise segments and classic reggae instrumentation. Lyrically, Never Stop covers themes of perseverance, justice, spiritual awakening, and resistance against Babylon—making it both a dancefloor mover and a conscious roots manifesto.
