“Star of the East”: Yeza’s Debut Album Shines as A Must-hear Album of 2025

A Lyrical Tour de Force over RoryStonelove’s Black Dub Sound

Rising reggae powerhouse Yeza steps into the spotlight with “Star of the East”, her highly anticipated debut album produced by the legendary RoryStonelove of Black Dub Music. Rooted in personal truth and cultural consciousness, the project is already being hailed as one of the best albums to come out of Jamaica this year — a rare fusion of raw lyrical power, smooth melodies, and classic dub production.

Drawing inspiration from her childhood on Star of the East Lane in Bull Bay, Yeza delivers her most personal and fearless body of work yet. Blending the spiritual depth of roots reggae with the pulse of dancehall, the album reflects Yeza’s unique identity: **the Righteous Bad Gyal –**meets- Rude Girl Roots, a woman of clarity, courage, and creative fire.

The title ‘Star of the East’ is deeply personal — it’s the name of the street I grew up on.

“That road, that environment, that energy… it is the root of the album” — Yeza explains

The life I lived there, and the perspective I’ve gained from it, shapes everything in this project.

From the fierce declarations of “Bullseye” to the natural confidence of “Organic,” the anthemic title track “Star of the East,” and the street-wise reflection in “Road Runner,” Yeza’s versatility is on full display. Her lyrics move fluidly between resilience, beauty, and spiritual elevation — all carried by the unmistakable touch of RoryStonelove’s dub stylings, which give the album a rich, rootsy foundation.

A foundational figure in Jamaican music, Rory Gilligan (RoryStonelove) has produced acclaimed works including Jah 9’s “New Name”, Samory I’s “Black Gold” and Kristine Alicia’s “Songs from Zion.” His collaboration with Yeza continues this legacy, amplifying her voice with vintage textures and modern relevance.

Media outlets including Reggaeville and RastaRespect have praised the project, while Yeza’s recent performances at iconic events like Rebel Salute and the Dennis Brown Tribute Concert further affirm her status as a rising force in reggae music.

As the “Star of the East” makes its way into global ears and hearts, Yeza and her team are gearing up for international appearances and more content to support the release. This is more than an album — it’s a declaration of identity, spiritual awakening, and artistic evolution from one of Jamaica’s most exciting voices. As Yeza says, it’s the story of a righteous bad gyal from the ghetto, choosing light, choosing consciousness, and rising to the occasion.
