Prince Alla and Kybalions release bilingual roots reggae single Face to Face

Prince Alla and Kybalions released Face to Face as a three-track digital package on June 28, 2026, and the format does as much talking as the song itself. The set comes with the title cut, Face to Face Dub and the Spanish-language Cara a Cara, a shape that feels built from reggae’s own production grammar rather than the usual single-and-bonus-track rollout.

That matters because Prince Alla is not approaching this from the outside. Born Keith Lorenzo Blake in St. Elizabeth and raised in Denham Town, Kingston, he started out in the vocal group The Leaders with Milton Henry and Roy Palmer, a foundation that puts him squarely inside the classic Jamaican roots lineage. The Leaders also cut three tracks for Joe Gibbs in the late 1960s, a detail that gives Face to Face a direct line back to the era when harmony groups, producers and dub versions were defining the music’s core language.

The release also fits the profile of the label carrying it. Priusdiscos identifies itself as a Buenos Aires, Argentina-based music label and event producer active since 2008, which helps explain why a bilingual roots single feels less like a novelty than a considered move. Kybalions have already been working with the imprint in 2025, including PD 107 Todo bien por la música? and individual tracks such as Abuelo fuego and El tres veces grande, so Face to Face reads as another step in an ongoing collaboration rather than a one-off pairing.

For serious roots listeners, the dub cut is the hinge. Face to Face Dub gives selectors and sound-system DJs a version they can work with in a different register, opening space for bass, echoes and drops without losing the song’s vocal identity. Cara a Cara widens the lane again, letting the same composition travel into Spanish while keeping the release tied to the old reggae habit of revisiting one tune in multiple forms. On the same June 28 release list, Reggaeville also logged Jah Vinci’s Heavy Weight, but Face to Face stands apart for the way it packages craftsmanship, history and reach into three tracks that know exactly how reggae is supposed to move.
