KIMARI UNRULY ANIMAL ENTERS A NEW CHAPTER WITH UPCOMING MUSIC PRODUCTION PROJECT
International recording artiste Kimari Unruly Animal continues to build his musical journey while preparing to expand his creative vision by venturing into music production.However, before Kimari fully steps into this next chapter, his contribution to one of Dancehall’s notable riddim projects deserves a closer look. His song “Gyal Dem Sugar,” featured on the Dutty Money Riddim, remains a record that many listeners believe deserved far greater attention within the Dancehall space.DUTTY MONEY RIDDIM: A RECORD THAT DESERVED MORE ATTENTIONThe Dutty Money Riddim brought together a collection of Dancehall voices and records, creating a sound that connected with the modern Dancehall landscape.Among the songs featured on the riddim was Kimari Unruly Animal’s “Gyal Dem Sugar,” released in January 2024.
And facts are facts the record was one of the standout songs on the riddim, yet it did not receive the level of recognition, spotlight and support that it arguably deserved.“Gyal Dem Sugar” showcased Kimari’s energetic approach and his ability to deliver a record that fit naturally within the riddim while maintaining his own identity. Despite the quality of the song and the strength of the production behind the riddim, the record did not generate the kind of sustained Dancehall conversation that could have pushed it even further.In a genre where songs can sometimes break through because of timing, promotion, social media momentum or the strength of the spotlight behind them, Kimari’s “Gyal Dem Sugar” serves as a reminder that even a quality record can sometimes fail to receive the attention it deserves.The Dutty Money Riddim had the production pedigree and musical foundation to make an even bigger impact, and Kimari’s contribution should not be overlooked when reflecting on the project.
FROM ARTISTE TO PRODUCERKnown for his energetic approach to reggae and Dancehall, Kimari Unruly Animal has been steadily developing his catalogue and establishing his presence within the music industry.Now, the artiste is preparing to take on an even greater role behind the music. Kimari is currently working on a new project that he will spearhead as his debut project as a producer, marking an important milestone in his career.The upcoming production project represents a significant new chapter for Kimari, allowing him to move beyond simply being the voice behind the microphone and take greater creative control over the sound, direction and development of a project.
While details surrounding the full project are still being kept under wraps, the initiative is expected to showcase another dimension of Kimari’s musical ability.For Kimari, stepping into production is more than simply adding another title to his name. It is an opportunity to create a platform for his own musical vision while potentially collaborating with other artistes and creatives.His transition into production also demonstrates his willingness to expand his skill set and explore new opportunities within the music industry.BUILDING HIS OWN LEGACYKimari’s journey is now moving toward a stage where he is not only focused on performing and releasing music, but also on creating the environment in which music is made.His experience as an artiste, including his contribution to the Dutty Money Riddim, gives him a foundation from which to approach production with a different perspective.
Having experienced the music industry from in front of the microphone, Kimari now has the opportunity to shape projects from behind the scenes.With his debut producer project in development, anticipation is building around what the Unruly Animal will bring to the table.
The project could introduce audiences to a different side of Kimari while establishing him as a creative force capable of contributing both in front of and behind the scenes.As Kimari prepares to spearhead his first official project as a producer, the upcoming release is shaping up to be an important step in his musical evolution.And while “Gyal Dem Sugar” may not have received the spotlight many believe it deserved during the Dutty Money Riddim era, Kimari’s next chapter could provide the opportunity to create the kind of music, movement and impact that demands attention.For Kimari Unruly Animal, the journey is no longer just about making music it is about creating the music, shaping the sound and building his own musical legacy.
