In a time when much of Dancehall’s output is shaped by themes of excess, rivalry, and escapism, a new single titled Future Life is carving out space for something different. Released by Topalone Records, the track brings together rising Jamaican artists Geo Lyrical and Jevii, offering a forward-thinking narrative centered on ambition, perseverance, and self-belief.
Led by producer, engineer, and composer Topalone, Future Life attempts to shift the conversation in dancehall, highlighting purpose over hype. Known for his technical skill and creative direction, Topalone’s imprint is clear throughout the production—balancing the genre’s rhythmic intensity with a tone of reflection and aspiration.
Featuring verses from Geo Lyrical and Jevii, the track leans into the experiences of a younger generation navigating dreams and realities. Both artists bring distinct vocal approaches and lyrical clarity, delivering performances that speak to youth on a mission—whether they’re students, go-getter, or fans looking for more grounded content in contemporary Jamaican music.
The release also marks the first collaboration between two local labels—Topalone Records and Amiere Records. With Amiere CEO and producer Kimberly Rhoden, known professionally as The Bougie Brat, contributing creative direction, the single stands as a cross-label effort to broaden the thematic range of Dancehall. Rhoden’s background in business and branding brings added structure to the rollout, and she sees the track as a reflection of a deeper shift.
“This is the kind of song I love to see coming out of Jamaica right now,” Rhoden says. “It reminds people that we have the power to shape our own future through creativity, through intention, and through collaboration.”
Amiere Records, a Black woman-owned imprint, continues to focus on building long-term opportunities for Caribbean creatives—prioritizing not only the sound, but the systems that support the region’s artistic output.
With a music video currently in post-production, Future Life is expected to continue gaining attention when visuals land in the coming weeks. Shot on location in Jamaica, the video is positioned to reflect the song’s emphasis on authenticity and potential.
Rather than rejecting the genre’s current trends, Future Life offers an alternative—a reminder that Dancehall can still carry messages with weight, without losing its edge.
