Alkaline (musician)

[2] Known for entering the scene with an alluring perception heavily projected to his Jamaican audience and utilizing his stage name to represent the opposite principles of his personality correlating the dichotomy of positive and negative.

[21] After his album tour, on March 25, 2017, Alkaline decided to prove the critics wrong by creating his own show called New Rules Festival which he brought to his home country.

[22] It quickly became one of the most anticipated shows of the year with artists like Mavado, Shaggy, I-Octane, Tarrus Riley, Jahmiel and many more at Jamaica's national stadium car park.

He soon revealed that the significance of 2016 lay in the fact that he was giving himself until that year to have his music speak for itself, and no longer require publicity stunts for any form of media coverage.
