Renowned reggae artist Rad Dixon is set to release his highly anticipated second album, ‘Africa Calling Calling,’ in early 2026 under Tasjay Productions. The album promises to be a deep dive into the roots-reggae genre that shaped Dixon’s musical journey in Manchester during the 1990s. James Smith Senior, the head of Tasjay Productions, revealed to Observer Online that the album will feature previously released singles like ‘Know Yourself,’ ‘Trodding,’ and ‘Cry of My People.’ Dixon’s debut album, ‘Hard Times,’ debuted in 2023, followed by the EP ‘Giving Thanks For Life Riddim’ in 2024. Dixon shared that his recent single ‘Nah Trust,’ which critiques corrupt politicians, has set the thematic tone for ‘Africa Calling Calling.’ He emphasized that the album is a call to action against politicians who exploit the youth for nefarious purposes. Growing up in Manchester, Dixon was immersed in a vibrant roots music scene that became a cultural hub for dancehall music, influenced by legends like Garnet Silk, Tony Rebel, and Kulcha Knox. Most of Dixon’s tracks, including ‘Sweet Caroline,’ ‘Write Your Name,’ and ‘Baby Don’t Worry,’ have been produced by Tasjay Productions, solidifying their long-standing collaboration.
