You should release that version of Who Knows! Such a vibe!!!

[@EasyEV]

Love Protoje, but I also got to shout out to the band. These guys are groovin in the background of so many great sets

This album is absolutely phenomenal. I'm not scared to say Album of the year. Such a vibe, just incredible. Bless up proteje

And I'm willing to stand on top of that hill with you! ALBUM TUFF YF

[@masskiller9206]

100% agreed got it on repeat and it still isn't getting old, not many albums worth the listen even these days let alone ones you can listen to front-to-back like that!

[@dungaanatole1469]

Not throwing shade but every proto album is and was phenomenal, Easily album of the year, dude been getting a raw deal and some bad mind from the marleys but anyways i think he is the greatest reggae artiste of this era and i could argue greatest ever peace out

protoje is bae. i discovered him by accident 3 years ago. i found a flyer for his show in NYC on the ground. the show happened to be on the night of my 38th birthday and I had a blessed time. the man can perform LIVE fr fr. so glad he keeps dropping fire. RASSTAAfariii!!

[@kalbrown9209]

Literally waiting for somebody to ask in the comments who d dude singing backup. Ziah at it again with the vocals 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@tupd]

lol he can ACTUALLY sing. Really dissapointed how terrible Protoje is live.

[@kalbrown9209]

@@tupd Well we live in a space now where to be an artiste we aren't as confined by vocal range or ability. Protoje isn't a vocalist or doesn't proclaim to be but I'll say his strength is more in his ear, eyes, and pen. He has a knack for curating sounds and talent that push the music forward. Ziah being one such talent. His lyrics also if not contextualized can pass as just a kool rhyme but generally, pretty decent. But agreed. Nt the best vocalist.
