"Like Royalty," produced by Ziah and Winta James, tells Protoje's story of struggle to triumph and highlights the people in his life who have helped him along the way. In addition to Popcaan, the Storm Saulter directed visual has cameos from In.Digg.Nation Collective artists' Sevana and Lila Iké and its affiliate Jaz Elise.
"The song is about letting my people know that as long as I'm healthy and strong, they have nothing to worry about," Protoje says. "Popcaan was the only person I would have featured on this song - it was him or nobody. I knew his voice would be the perfect compliment and I think he is a great songwriter and storyteller so it was awesome to hear him tell his story about where he came from," he continues.
Popcaan was happy to collaborate on the song. "Me always a represent for the ghetto youths and want them to strive in life so this is just one of them song we push that message. Nuff struggles we go through but we make it out and we a live like royalty," he adds.
Protoje, one of Jamaica's most important music figures in front and behind the scenes, will return with arguably his biggest album to date. In Search of Lost Time is available for pre-order today, August 6th and will be released worldwide on August 28th via In.Digg.Nation Collective / Six Course / RCA Records. Today, he reveals the LP's latest single and video "Like Royalty'' featuring dancehall star Popcaan.
His fifth studio album is on the heels of his first GRAMMY nomination for Best Reggae Album in 2019 for A Matter Of Time, his first riddim production Rock & Groove, a recent guest feature on Alicia Keys' "Underdog" remix and a major label record deal partnership with his label and artist management company In.Digg.Nation Collective and RCA Records in 2020.
