Each release showcases their evolving sound and commitment to pushing boundaries, while staying rooted in the conscious messages that have always been at the heart of their music.

And later in the year, a vibrant collaboration with Nikau Te Huki will bring a fusion of Māori soul, roots reggae, and earthy electronic elements—reflecting both artists' commitment to cultural storytelling and spiritual connection through music.
Each release adds a new layer to Dub Princess's ever-evolving soundscape, reinforcing her position as a powerful voice in the international underground scene and a bridge between genres, cultures, and communities.
