Konshens Releases ‘Pool Party 2.0’ Album

Konshens has released a new album titled ‘Pool Party 2.0,’ the follow-up to his 2025 Pool Party project.

“The original installment generated international attention with records including “Back Dat Azz Up” and highlighted Konshens’ ability to merge dancehall with club, Caribbean and global influences,” a release said. “With Pool Party 2.0, Konshens builds on that formula through a 12-track album driven by collaborations with producers and artists from across the Caribbean and international music markets.”

Arriving alongside the album are visuals for Like We with Beenie Man. The track is a modern reimagining of Beenie Man’s 1996 hit “Old Dog,” originally
produced by legendary dancehall producer Dave Kelly for Madhouse Records and featured on the influential “Stink” riddim.

“Co-produced by Dave Kelly, “Like We” bridges generations of dancehall by blending the energy and nostalgia of the original record with a contemporary production approach aimed at today’s global dancehall audience.”

The project’s production is led primarily by IZYBEATS and SUBMACHINE ENT, who shape much of the album’s sonic direction. Additional production comes from Dave Kelly, Tony Kelly, Jonny Blaze, Stadic, King Kosa and Symon Dice.

Featured artists on the album include UK-based dancehall artist Stylo G, Chudney J and Ayetian.

Among the notable records on the project are “Perfect Timing” produced by King Kosa and Jonny Blaze, “Rum Club” produced by Jonny Blaze and Stadic, and “South Side” produced by Symon Dice.

Additional musical contributions include lead guitar by Xeryus Gittens on “She Jus Wah Wine,” with publishing administered through Songs of Universal (BMI).
