Reggae has always found ways to travel further than anyone expects, and BUSHMAN’s “Reggae In Nashville” feels like the next natural step in that long journey. Out now, this is a track that earns its confidence without having to announce it.

BUSHMAN carries the weight of the conscious roots tradition, the kind that Bob Marley and Peter Tosh built with intention — but he doesn’t use it as a costume. It’s simply where he comes from, and you hear that in every bar. Nashville as a backdrop isn’t a gimmick here. It’s a genuine meeting point, and he lets the two worlds breathe together rather than forcing a collision.

The fusion elements sit underneath the rhythm without pulling focus, which is exactly where they should be. This is music for a Sunday morning with your family, for a long drive, for a room full of people who don’t all share the same taste but somehow all nod along. That’s harder to pull off than it sounds.

His quote says it plainly: he wants reggae that speaks to real life, that brings families together. You believe him. The track doesn’t strain for depth — it already has it.

With UK tour dates confirmed at Band on the Wall in Manchester, the Jazz Cafe in London, and the Heritage Festival in Berkshire this summer, plus a date at Rototom Spain in August, audiences are going to get the full picture of what this sounds like when it’s alive in a room. That’s worth looking forward to.

Every artist has a story, but few are as powerful as Raxz’s. The Dayton, Ohio native has faced challenges that could have stopped most people in their tracks. After serving an 11-year prison sentence and enduring the heartbreaking loss of both parents, he made a decision to rewrite his future through music.

A major turning point came when his mother left him a letter encouraging him to focus on his God-given talent. Her words became a source of strength and motivation, inspiring him to take his music career seriously and pursue the dreams he’d long put aside.

That dedication is paying off. Raxz has collaborated with respected artists such as Sally Sossa, Slatt Zy, and Trecinco, building a reputation for authenticity and determination. In 2022, he was recognized by XXL Magazine as an artist to watch, further validating his growing presence in the industry.

While success hasn’t come without setbacks, Raxz has remained committed to his vision. Whether battling self-doubt, maintaining consistency, or navigating the business side of music, he’s continued to push forward.

Now, he’s preparing for the release of City of Dragons, a project he describes as his most complete and hardest-hitting work to date. With production from Sauce Sinatra, Yung Steely, and members of 808 Mafia, expectations are high.

As his audience continues to grow, Raxz is proving that no matter where you’ve been, your story doesn’t have to define your future. Stream his new single “First Flight” below.
