Reggae star Lila Iké is building anticipation for her upcoming album with the release of a new single, 'Fry Plantain', featuring American rapper Joey Bada$$. The track, accompanied by visuals, is set to drop on Friday, November 22.


Lila Iké first revealed Joey Bada$$ as a collaborator for her album during her exclusive launch party at Dubwise Cafe in Kingston this past May. At the event, she also premiered the music video for "He Loves Us Both", featuring Grammy-winning artist H.E.R.


The video shoot for 'Fry Plantain' took place in Jamaica and has already sparked excitement, with sneak peeks receiving positive reactions from fellow artists, including her mentor Protoje, Jesse Royal, Naomi Cowan, and Alaine.



The "Where I'm Coming From" singer has been making waves since her debut in 2018. She released her acclaimed debut album, The ExPerience", in 2020, solidifying her place in reggae music.


Born Alecia Grey, Lila Iké has captivated audiences with her distinctive voice and unique style, gaining recognition both locally and internationally. Most recently, she was featured on British singer Jorja Smith's latest album, further showcasing her global appeal.
