Strive by Interrupt & Donovan KingJay

Interrupt once again teams up with vocalist Donovan Kingjay for a cover version of Shinehead’s classic hit song ‘Strive’, originally released on Elektra Records in 1990.

After hearing Donovan KingJay singing the song live during many soundsystem sessions in London, Matt Interrupt decided to rebuild the riddim, staying faithful to the vibe of the original version, but giving it a cleaner, more modern production style for 2024.

The song features positive, inspiring lyrics, encouraging the youth to strive for their goals, and keep a positive mindset in the face of hardship; a message which is just as relevant today as it was in 1990!

The release also includes a full dub version, and an instrumental riddim version for selectors to run in the dance.
