The world of reggae is often considered a sanctuary of sound, providing solace and connection to its listeners. Recently, the beloved reggae artist Collie Buddz brought his distinct vibe to Digiwaxx New Music Wednesdays Live, where he shared insights about his career, his latest music, and the blossoming future of reggae.

The Landscape of Reggae in 2025

As Buddz began the evening, he found himself in the welcoming embrace of Radio Raymond T. “One time, Mr. Collie Buddz. Thank you for tapping in, man. Red Cup game going down.” The lighthearted banter set the stage for a casual but meaningful discussion.

Currently based in Nashville, Buddz stated he was working hard to keep his dream alive. “I feel like I’m at the best point of my career,” reflecting on a career that began long before he turned 44 this year.

Buddz acknowledged the evolution of his artistry, attributing his continued relevance to age and experience. “If you love the music, just keep gunning that, man,” he said, urging younger artists to focus on their passion. The artist emphasized how maturity impacts song creation, suggesting a deeper understanding of music comes with age. His studio sessions now exude a seasoned confidence that he feels was absent in his earlier days.

A New Sound with Timeless Roots

The artist introduced his latest collaboration with Busy Signal, aptly titled “Spark Up.” Designed for the cannabis community, the track reflects the mature sensibilities he brings to his music now compared to his younger years. “This is the one,” Buddz stated confidently during their recording session, an expression indicative of the clarity he has gained through years of performing and creating.

The song’s playful narrative weaves in nostalgia, hinting at social issues and revisiting historical perspectives of cannabis culture. “It’s never too late to accept the fact that weed is not what they said it was back in my day,” Buddz remarked, calling out outdated stigmas around marijuana. The track was strategically released in time for 420, a nod to the cannabis culture intertwined in his music.

Celebrating Collaborations and Influences

Buddz’s discography showcases legendary collaborations, and his interaction with Busy Signal is no exception. He described how respected figures in the industry uplift one another, creating a vibrant soundscape that highlights both artists’ strengths. “It’s one thing when cats work together, but it shows in the music when they mess with each other,” Buddz noted.

A critical highlight was Buddz’s sampling of Adina Howard’s classic track and Bootsy Collins’ influence, bridging generational gaps in music. “It’s funny, every thirty-one years, things come back around,” he explained, emphasizing the cyclical nature of music consumption that resonates with listeners across generations.

Key insights flowed from the audience as well — conversations about the evolution of dancehall and reggae highlighted the significance of staying true to the roots while embracing innovation.

“Reggae music resonates everywhere,” Buddz declared, emphasizing the universal appeal of his genre.

As the conversation continued, DJs praised the artist’s ability to keep the roots of reggae alive through tracks like “Own Business,” which eloquently narrates the importance of self-reflection amidst external chaos.

Looking Ahead: Future Aspirations in Music

Although he acknowledged the challenges of organizing festivals, he expressed excitement about potential projects and community initiatives. The recent resurfacing of his radio station, Vibe103, also fueled enthusiasm for future connections with fans through multiple platforms.
