Protoje has unveiled his new EP The Jamaican Situation, a project that serves as the first half of the soundtrack for his upcoming short film of the same name. The EP, released via Ineffable Records and In.Digg.Nation Collective, explores themes of modern Jamaica, reflecting its complexities through a fusion of reggae, dancehall, and hip-hop.

The Jamaican Situation includes standout collaborations, such as a feature from dancehall star Jahshii, and is powered by dynamic production from IzyBeats, Iotosh, and Protoje himself. The tracks highlight the current social and cultural climate of Jamaica, offering listeners a raw and authentic sonic journey. Protoje has already released music videos for 30 Million, Where We Come From, and Mariposa, which bring visual depth to the EP's narratives.

With this release, Protoje sets the stage for the upcoming film, using the EP as a powerful lead-in. The music delivers a bold commentary on Jamaica's past and present, and fans are eagerly awaiting how these themes will unfold on the big screen when the film is released.
