Right Now!!

A fresh and exclusive release from Reality SoulJah and High Pressure Sound System is the first in 2023 from Ruffa Roots.

This heavyweight digital skankin' riddim carries an on point vocal which sums up life under the current global, political and economic pressures.

Recorded early in 2022, Right now is an antidote to pop bullshit and a call out to all our brothers and sisters living the day to day struggle.

Reality SoulJah is the founder of Reality Soundsystem, born with a passion for music he started his musical journey at an early age playing sound system and toasting the mic guided by his late father Gladstone Henderson (founder of 80's Entebbe Sound) in the 1970s.

Surrounded by an unstable social and political climate growing up in London, UK, he was drawn to the poignant message of roots reggae and rockers music coming from his father's homeland, Jamaica.

This message of upliftment, love, equality and empowerment has been maintained with his song writing and social commentary throughout his time with Reality SoulJahs and now as a solo artist.

With an extensive discography and performances internationally, this track with Leeds based High Pressure Sound System is one of his new projects.
