Transcript:

DJ Soul Rock:
Attention, attention listeners. We have a very special guest on the phone, Mr. Bernhard Spliffington, Mr. Spreading Peace and Love Through the World. It is such an honor and such a joy to have Perfect Giddimani on the line. How are you doing today?

Perfect Giddimani:
I’m doing well, my brother. And you?

DJ Soul Rock:
So good. It’s been such a joy, and I really enjoyed the show yesterday. I’m excited for the folks to show up tonight in Fort Collins.

Perfect Giddimani:
Lovely, lovely. I’m excited as well. I’m looking forward to the Fort Collins massive. Ready. I’m fired up.

DJ Soul Rock:
Yes, ready. I’m telling you, folks, be ready, bring your dancing shoes, and get ready for an amazing message.

You’ve been on tour for a while now, going through Colorado, Nevada, the Virgin Islands, and ending up at Reggae in the Desert. How’s the tour been going?

Perfect Giddimani:
It’s been good. Trust me, I have to be grateful for the turnouts so far, the support, and the massive showing up. It’s really been going well. There have been a few problems, but that’s life.

DJ Soul Rock:
That’s part of life on the road.

Perfect Giddimani:
You know how to get over it. Definitely.

DJ Soul Rock:
You make it look seamless. As someone watching, I can see the joy you have in sharing your music and your message.

You’ve been really busy the last few years. In 2025, you released two albums with Sinckee Beatz, Blessings and Bernhard Spliffington: Bachelor of Arts in Kush Education. Last night, you shared that there’s a new album in the works. Could you tell us a little about it?

Perfect Giddimani:
Presently, I’m working on a new project with Sinckee Beatz. Sinckee Beatz is one of my favorite producers. I would say around September or October is when the album will be out. We don’t have a name for it yet, but trust me, it’s going to be good. It’s a work in progress, and so far it sounds great.

DJ Soul Rock:
That’s amazing. You and Sinckee Beatz really work so well together. That super dubby sound mixed with the message you bring is something special.

Perfect Giddimani:
Give thanks, man.

DJ Soul Rock:
Give thanks. You dropped a new tune yesterday, or was it today? We heard it earlier in the program.

Perfect Giddimani:
The new song came out yesterday. That’s “Chaba and Duduque.” They are said to be the most popular best friends in the world. They’re from the Hadzabe tribe in Tanzania. You should Google them and learn more about them. They’re very popular on TikTok and other platforms. I decided to do a song for them and build them up.

DJ Soul Rock:
It was such a nice surprise on this side. I was heading up to the show and thought, “Wow, a new tune today,” right while you’re on tour here in Colorado.

Perfect Giddimani:
We keep dropping songs. We’re working while working. The mission never stops.

DJ Soul Rock:
That’s something I love that you bring up in your music and when you play live—your mission. Could you share with the listeners your mission in reggae music?

Perfect Giddimani:
The foundation of reggae music is that it’s message music. First and foremost, reggae carries a message, and that message is always positive. It’s about the one love movement, harmony, togetherness, and addressing issues within the system. Reggae music enlightens people and gives them awareness.

The system is a vampire. We’re tired of suffering, oppression, and many other struggles. It’s a long list. Until that one love vibration, that togetherness, peace, love, harmony, and happiness are achieved—regardless of race, color, class, or creed—reggae will continue to push that message.

Until that is accomplished, we’ll continue hearing songs that promote positivity and longevity. The mission is still on.

DJ Soul Rock:
That’s something I appreciated last night. You spoke about how this music is meant to end war of all kinds—physical, mental, spiritual, within our bodies, and in the environment. Thank you for your message and for joining us here on Reggae Bloodlines.

Perfect Giddimani:
Yeah, man. Massive. Fort Collins, turn out tonight. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone and having a good time. It’s not even cold right now, so the whole city can come out.

The kids are welcome, everybody is welcome. It’s a clean and safe show. No rude lyrics, no negative lyrics—just clean, positive messages and good vibrations. Roots rock reggae.

DJ Soul Rock:
Roots rock reggae.

Perfect Giddimani:
Yes. Turn out, massive. I’m looking forward to seeing you.

DJ Soul Rock:
We’re looking forward to seeing you too. Thank you so much for taking the time. I know you’re busy and traveling. Much love, much respect, and much peace. Thank you so much, Perfect Giddimani.

Perfect Giddimani:
Respect to you. A whole lot. Rastafari.

DJ Soul Rock:
Bless. Thank you so much.

Perfect Giddimani:
Many thanks.

DJ Soul Rock:
Bless. And listeners, in ten minutes we have a pair of tickets for tonight. Thank you so much for tuning in. Here is Perfect Giddimani and Sinckee Beatz with “Red and Dread.”
