Dancehall meets UK drill

Jamaican dancehall rising artiste Natebadz has been gaining international attention ever since he was introduced to music by his older brother, global dancehall icon Popcaan.

Building on the momentum of their recent collaboration, “Family First,” which has been making waves across social media and radio, Natebadz is now stepping things up with a bold international link-up. His new single, “Mazza,” featuring UK rap rising sensations Not3s and ML, is set for official release on July 10, together with a music video shot in London.

Merging his pure Jamaican flavor with a UK drill-inspired beat, Natebadz expands his reach to new audiences while staying true to his dancehall roots. The track’s title, “Mazza,” subtly nods to Buju Banton’s iconic single “Driver,” reflecting Natebadz’s musical awareness, versatility, and ability to bridge generations through sound and cultural influence.

The song explores themes of loyalty, lifestyle, and staying true to your day-one friends, with Natebadz making his mark through a commanding third verse that brings Caribbean energy and lyrical clarity to the collaboration.

“It’s a blessing to link with Not3s and ML on this one,” he shared. “I’ve been to the UK, done shows, connected with people—but now being on this beat with two of their own, it’s like I’m planting my flag. I’m solidifying my presence and showing that Jamaican talent can move in any market, any rhythm, any lane.”

Not3s, known for chart-topping hits like “Addison Lee” and “My Lover,” brings his signature Afroswing flair and millions of YouTube views to the track, while ML—the rising son of UK rap legend Giggs—adds lyrical precision and emotional depth. Together, the trio deliver a cross-cultural anthem powered by shared ambition and unstoppable momentum.
