Collie Budz returned with his third full-length offering, Hybrid, after issuing a heavy share of teasers, tapping on names like Russ, Tech N9ne, Dizzy Wright, Stonebwoy and more for an effort that seamlessly melds the realms of Reggae, Trap, and Afrobeats for the most textured delivery of Buddz to date.
Even with this exploration of sound, Colie Buddz succeeds in creating a cohesive body of work that places the Reggae artist at an interesting intersection that broadens the scope of listeners while in the process solidifying his art. Collie is going for 10 tracks this time around, matching up with his contemporaries. Highlighted selections include the “Everything Blessed” assisted by Tech N9ne and the “Show Love” solo.
