Kingston, Jamaica – I-Octane is kicking off 2025 with the release of his highly anticipated new single, “Opportunist” featuring Shane O, set to debut on February 7. This powerful track explores the importance of cutting ties with energy drainers and protecting one’s peace an anthem for resilience in the face of adversity. The single serves as a preview of his upcoming album, God & I, which marks a return to his soulful reggae roots.

Produced by I-Octane’s five year old daughter, Nahbi Reign, a budding musical talent who has already displayed extraordinary skill and creativity under her label NiNi Records, “Opportunist” is a testament to the artist’s deep connection to his craft and reality. The track is backed by a visually stunning music video directed by BlingBlang, one of the industry’s most sought after directors, known for her ability to craft compelling and emotionally resonant narratives.

God & I: A Highly Anticipated Return to Reggae

After five years of focusing on dancehall and his signature “Hot Ras” image, I-Octane is making a powerful return to his reggae soul roots with God & I, set for release later this year. This deeply personal 15-track project, managed by Wendy Morgan of Beautiful People Management and distributed by Music Xchange, blends reflection and resilience, offering fans the heartfelt and introspective sound they have been longing for.

A Cornerstone in Reggae and Dancehall
With a career spanning nearly two decades, I-Octane has solidified himself as a staple in both reggae and dancehall. His catalog boasts timeless reggae hits like “Lose a Friend” and “L.O.V.E. Y.O.U.”, alongside dancehall anthems such as “Buss a Blank” and “We Love Di Vibes.” His ability to connect with audiences through raw emotion and high-energy performances has earned him a dedicated international following.

A Message from I-Octane
“I want everyone to subscribe to all my music platforms because this project is personal to me. A lot of people turned their backs on me over hearsay and never gave me a chance. I almost lost everything because of how they tried to tarnish my name and brand. It made me shift focus at one point, questioning why I should heal others when they had no compassion for me. But last year, I woke up and realized that if I didn’t speak my truth, I would lose myself. So, I decided to just sing without worrying about who will listen. That’s why I named the project God & I.”
