Recently Kabaka Pyramid has been appearing on the Live Music scene in Kingston with live performances at the Manifesto Jamaica Festival 2010, Jaria Reggae Month 2010, Jamaica Vybez, The Next Generation of Reggae, Bands Incoporated (Featured by The Indiggnation Band), and Conversations - just to name a few.
The Conscious musician is a member of Manifesto Jamaica, which is an N.G.O. aiming to empower Jamaican youth through the arts and culture. Representing Manifesto JA, Kabaka has worked with friend and colleague Donisha Prendegast on the "Africa Unite" School Tour spreading the word of Rastafari and the liberation struggle in South Africa. Performing for the kids in school is an important part of Kabaka's vision for his musical career and is always willing to play his part in the movement.
The name "Kabaka" is Ugandan for "King" and Pyramids are thought by the artist to house the mathematical proportions of Universal Laws that are eminent in the creation of this universe. He seeks to embody these laws in his music, spreading truth and higher knowledge to the people who are prepared to listen.
He has just released his “Rebel Music” EP which is free to the public at www.kabakapyramid.bandcamp.com. This project is a fusion of roots rock, reggae, dancehall and hip hop and is intended to show the world where Kabaka Pyramid is looking to take Jamaican music, as well as spread the positive messages of spirituality and conscious evolution that you find whenever he grabs a mic!
“To me....Reggae and Hip Hop go hand in hand....when they procreate, Rebel Music is born! Some believe that each art form must remain pure....I’m not here to oppose. But fusion is the foodstuff of evolution, and evolution is constant - both physically and spiritually” - Kabaka Pyramid
“Kabaka Pyramid is one of the most promising talents I have seen in a while” - Protoje
“It is a tasty mix of roots and early dancehall scented with some hip-hop” - United reggae Magazine on Rebel music
“With a solid list of skills not only in the booth but on the mixing board, and an array of lyrics that preach a message of love, self-awareness and African pride, Kabaka Pyramid is well on his way to a career that should not only lead to greatness but also lead a lot of fans to righteousness” - Aesthetics Now Magazine

Ina these last days wid Babylon mi haffi part ways
Trodding the valleys and the path ways
See seh dem endorse hate
Fi mi life dem wah fi gamble like a horse race
Heart racing, when mi start lace up mi boot
Wid no fear
Just a cold steer
No scissor no comb hair, No shair
No sleep at times, hungry belly till we weak at times
So mi people can have peace of mind
But this peace of mind is very relative
Dem wah fi tek a piece of mine and sell wi relative
When we combined dem see how dread it is
Cutting off we enemies energies, yeah
Beautiful

Inna dis last days with babylon mi haffi part ways! Real Warrior 🇰🇪🔥🔥
@RevolvingDeath
I feel this music in my soul, & I happen to be white. I strive for justice for everyone including the planet we stand on. I believe music has no race, it unites & that's the beauty of it. who knows we all could've been any race in our past lives. our body is nothing but a skinsuit, a sacred one at that. we are all one human race, as I'm sure you know. I don't think our souls have color.
@RevolvingDeath
I'm only saying this because I see some comments. this is warriors music no matter what you look like. bless
