Ras Dave

Ras Dave brings a bold revival of roots reggae with conscious riddims, heavy basslines, and truth-telling lyrics for modern times. A lion from the ’90s reggae scene, he has returned with fire and focus, blending old soul with new sound.

His debut, What A Gwan, reignited the spark with uplifting singles like Bright Day and Root of Evil.

Then came War & Wisdom, a 15-track journey from the chaos of war to the healing of truth, bringing decades-old lyrics to life — proof that what’s old is new again.

After that fire, his Smile album turned inward with joy, peace, and resilience, celebrating simple blessings through songs like Lay Back So and the title track.

Now Ras Dave rises with Manifesto, an 11-track declaration of faith, freedom, and resilience, blending Nyabinghi chants, roots grooves, and eastern sitar into a triumphant call to action.
