D & G (Diamonds and Gold) is a heavy, thought provoking reggae tune written and performed by Rubi Du.
Produced by j.A.f.A Sound’s Rob Smith, the single is a follow up of Rubi’s 1st j.A.f.A release “Lock Up” last year that received radio play from BBC Radio’s Don Letts, Ras Kwame on London’s Capital Xtra, and selectors worldwide.
This track is an anthem calling out the excessive greed in our society today. Rubi’s insightful lyrics express concern for humanity’s collective consciousness and overall wellbeing while flowing beautifully over Rob’s legendary dub heavy production.The riddim is a take on the classic Parragons track ‘Man Nextdoor’ and features bonus melodica and trombone versions plus a heavy dub for the soundsystem crew. Rubi’s hard-hitting lyrics and soulful tone, backed by a j.A.f.A Sound riddim proves that she is remains Aotearoa’s ruling Reggae Queen!
