Rik Jam pleased with Europe tour

Recording artiste Rik Jam has completed a successful performance run, having joined reggae legend Burning Spear on a four-show stint in Europe.

Performing a high-energy set at each show, backed by The Island Federation band, Rik Jam's set list included songs such as Life, Beautiful and Ready Fi Dem, along with two unreleased songs.

"The responses from fans have been really wholesome and inspiring to me. The positive feedback gives fuel for my drive towards becoming a better artiste, along with these experiences," Rik Jam stated. He performed at OLT Rivierenhof Antwerpen, Belgium; Tivoli Vredenburg in Utrecht and Paradiso in Amsterdam, Holland; and Offenbach, Germany. The artiste is now gearing up for the US leg of the tour, which is set to begin this month.

"Summer has given so much to me, and the team altogether, which teaches us perseverance, patience and commitment, especially to what we are working for - to make reggae music live on," the artiste said. He also had the opportunity to introduce his latest single, Hail The King Forever, a remake of his 2023 release Hail The King. Released officially on June 13, the track was produced by Irie Yute Tapes.

"My hope for the song is for it to keep reminding the people that there is always a greater power high above, and you have to keep giving thanks throughout the bad days. Plus, He never left your side, so just keep having faith and work," the artiste said. Rik Jam is preparing to satisfy his fans with more material for them to enjoy in the near future.

"There are going to be a lot of new releases coming soon, so we're just taking our time to make sure everything is right before we give the world what is to come. An album is in the works," he said.
