Release Date: October 24, 2025

Genre: Modern Dancehall / Afrobeats

Producer: Costa Rebel

“Your desire is hot like fire, taking me higher.” With these words, East African artist Dok Balo sets the tone for Desire — his brand-new single that bridges continents, blending African rhythm and soul with the Caribbean pulse of reggae and dancehall.

A Song Born from Passion and Fusion

Desire is more than a song — it’s an expression of energy, sensuality, and drive. Built on the Hot Lyke Fayah Riddim, produced by world-class reggae producer Costa Rebel, the track captures that magnetic spark that connects people across cultures.

The sound is rich, warm, and full of movement — fusing African melodies, Caribbean basslines, and a smooth vocal delivery that embodies the spirit of modern global reggae. “Desire is the fire that drives us to achieve great things,” says Dok Balo.

From Balozi to Dok Balo: A Reggae Journey

Previously known as Balozi, Dok Balo made his mark with Jiachilie, a national hit that gained massive airplay across East African TV and radio stations. Growing up listening to reggae legends like Gregory Isaacs, Bob Marley, Don Carlos, and Musical Youth, Dok Balo always had the heartbeat of reggae within him.

His previous single Nakupenda (produced by Vicki Pondis) hinted at this reggae evolution — and now, with Desire, he fully embraces his roots. After taking time off for family and personal growth, Dok Balo returns stronger, wiser, and ready to reignite the fire.

Produced by Costa Rebel — A Global Reggae Connection

The riddim behind Desire was crafted by Costa Rebel, an internationally recognized reggae producer from Costa Rica who has worked with top-tier artists such as Capleton, Lutan Fyah, Million Stylez, and Little Lion Sound. His production brings an authentic Caribbean flavor while allowing Dok Balo’s East African voice to shine — a true meeting point of two reggae worlds.

Massive Promotion and Global Launch

The Desire campaign is set to make waves across digital platforms and dance floors alike. A strong social media push will feature professional dancers and influencers bringing the energy of Desire to life through viral choreography challenges. In addition, an email blast to over 2,000 reggae professionals, DJs, and media contacts worldwide will help amplify the message. Radio promotions, DJ drops, and curated playlists will further extend the track’s reach from East Africa to the Caribbean and beyond.

Listen, Feel, and Share the Fire

Desire is now available on all major streaming platforms. Experience the fusion. Feel the fire. Spread the vibe. Listen to Dok Balo – “Desire” (Produced by Costa Rebel) and let your desire take you higher.
