After gaining some recognition from his first release “New Stylie” , which was featured on BBC 1XTRA Diplo & Friends, Jamaican artist/producer Noah Issa has continued to deliver his own unique blend of reggae, dancehall, hip hop and electronic music. ”New Stylie”, a fusion of dancehall, dub, trap and experimental EDM that perpetually reinvents and re-styles itself ahead of an ethereal, dream-like climax, pushes the limits of creative sound design and rhythmical complexity. Noah’s following release “Broken Wings” was the first track to feature Noah’s vocals and showed us a more ethereal and experimental side of his artistry. The song has a transcendental feel, with psychedelic textures combined with sounds of the trombone and bass guitar, creating a form of alternative dub/reggae.
“No Long Talking” was Noah’s next release and this song combines the lush synth textures of tropical house with the Dembow rhythms of dancehall. Noah delivers a soothing vocal performance which gently floats on top of the track, leading into a hypnotic vocal chop hook section.
“Rude Awakening” was Noah’s next release and is an exciting fusion of reggae and electronic music. Blending together elements of reggae, ska, and tropical house, “Rude Awakening” marries the organic sounds and conscious lyrics of reggae to the euphoric energy of electronic dance music.
Most recently, Noah managed to land a collaboration with iconic reggae/dancehall artist Shaggy. “Legendary” features rapid fire Jamaican patois vocals from Noah and Shaggy, over a bass-heavy beat reminiscent of the 90s dancehall era. The song came about after Shaggy launched an open verse challenge on Tik Tok in which he invited artists to add a verse over his song “Mi Nuh Know.”
The challenge began to create a buzz on social media, and verses were being posted from up and coming artists as well as dancehall heavyweights such as Demarco and Mr. Lexx. Noah posted his entry for the challenge on Instagram and Tik Tok, which gained recognition and high praises from prominent figures in the Caribbean, such as social media personalities, politicians, athletes, radio DJs, reggae & dancehall artists, and Shaggy himself.
A day later, Shaggy shared the video to his own Instagram page which had a snowball effect in the video gaining even more support from his audience. This caught Shaggy and his team’s attention and eventually led to Shaggy and Noah connecting at a studio in NYC to do this collaboration.
Prior to this Noah had already began making waves on the Caribbean social media scene with a string of videos on social media like “Making a beat out of a Red Stripe bottle,” which was liked and supported by well-known figures such as Usain Bolt, and another dancehall flavored open verse challenge for “Handsomer” by American rapper
