The song dives deep into today’s cultural landscape, addressing issues like corruption, crime, and societal unrest. Keznamdi’s evocative lyrics prompt listeners to reflect on their place in a rapidly changing world, while the captivating instrumentation ensures the message resonates.

Keznamdi’s music is known for its ability to entertain, challenge, and inspire, and “Identity Crisis” is no exception. His previous album, “Bloodline,” released in 2019, featured hits like “Love Mi Nuff” and earned him a place on Collie Buddz’s North American Hybrid tour, selling out venues and building a strong fan base.

Keznamdi’s journey began in Kingston, Jamaica, where he was born to Rastafari parents and grew up amidst a mix of musical and activist influences. Despite facing discrimination and bullying, Keznamdi found strength in his heritage, ultimately shaping his path in music.

His early life took him across Tanzania and Ethiopia, broadening his creative perspective and eventually leading to a football scholarship in California, where an injury pivoted his focus fully to music.

His debut EP, “Bridging the Gap,” released in 2013, set the stage for his musical career, leading to collaborations with artists like ZHU, A-Trak, and Poo Bear. Keznamdi’s versatility and commitment to his craft have made him a standout artist in the reggae and dancehall scenes.

As he prepares to release his next album, “Blood and Fyah,” in early 2025, Keznamdi continues to push boundaries with his music, addressing themes of identity, resistance, and liberation. His powerful message and unique sound keep him at the forefront of contemporary reggae and dancehall music.
