DEM A WAR! Brazilian producer Killah Keys releases a heavy track with icon Linval Thompson. Listen!
In 2020, during the pandemic, keyboardist, arranger, and music producer Killah Keys began a remarkable project. The idea was to collaborate with veteran Jamaican artist Linval Thompson.
(Cover of the single "Dem a War")
Right away, the Jamaican artist liked the Brazilian's creations and, when introduced to the "Insidious Riddim" (an instrumental created by Killah), recorded "Dem a War", the first single from the collaboration between the two. Linval Thompson is a true legend. He was born in 1954 in Jamaica and continues recording his voice through striking and captivating melodies, as well as touring with appearances at major festivals.
