For his contribution to Apple Music’s Freedom Songs 2022, an exclusive collection of covers and originals celebrating Juneteenth, Kranium chose to cover Dennis Brown’s “Revolution,” a 1983 song the Jamaican singer notes is as relevant today as it ever was. “A lot of stuff that is being said in that song is actually something that we are living with until this day,” he says. The choice to cover Brown was also a means of bridging the gap between the dancehall of today and the reggae Kranium was raised on. “Growing up, Dennis Brown was one of our favorite singers,” he says. “That’s the Crown Prince of Reggae. We’re considered the new-school singers, so I wanted to make sure that I keep it 100 percent pure and real, showing respect to the great Dennis Brown but still putting my own Kranium swing into it.”
