Reggae and dancehall fans worldwide have a reason to celebrate because Greg Rose, better known by his stage name Perfect Giddimani, dropped his highly anticipated studio album titled "Sibusiso" Produced by Sinky Beatz. The album, which dropped on the 18th of April, is a milestone in the artist's career and a heartfelt dedication to his unforgettable visit to South Africa a few months back.
The name "Sibusiso" means a lot to Perfect Giddimani. When he visited Mzansi in March 2025 to headline United Colours of Reggae benefit concert in honour of the Legendary Roots Reggae Elder Jah Crucial, the artist was given this name as a token of appreciation from the reggae and dancehall communities in the nation. "Sibusiso" is Zulu for "blessing," and it's a symbol of the hospitality, unity, and cultural richness he experienced while he was here.
In an expression of gratitude, Perfect Giddimani chose to honor his South African fans and the spirit of the nation by naming his album after the local name that embodies blessings and positivity. The album is a reflection of the artist’s love for Mzansi’s reggae scene and his connection to the people who welcomed him with open arms.
The "Sibusiso" album features a blend of Roots Reggae tracks infused with messages of hope, unity, and resilience. The album has already garnered anticipation among fans eager for new material from the Jamaican-born artist who continues to build bridges through his music.
The Dub Version: "SIBUSISO IN DUB"
Following the popularity of the initial album, fans are also treated to an immersive dub version, "SIBUSISO IN DUB", released on Friday, May 2nd. The release builds on the album's listening experience, highlighting the rhythms and basslines of the album, and offering a different perspective to the songs.
As the world continues to embrace reggae and dancehall as forces of positive change, artists like Perfect Giddimani are proof to the fact that music knows no borders and can leave permanent marks. Music lovers everywhere are welcomed to hear, celebrate, and share in the blessings of "Sibusiso."
