Roze Don plans 25-song mixtape and North American tours

Roze Don is lining up a 25-song mixtape, Don’t Count Me Out, and North American tours after Instruction Time started moving on TikTok. The dancehall artiste’s latest push, detailed in a June 27 Jamaica Observer report, puts scale at the center of his rollout rather than a single viral spike.

The project is due in the middle of summer, and Roze Don said he has been involved in the production himself. That detail matters because it shows the release is being built as a hands-on move, not just a quick drop meant to ride the momentum of one song. Roze Don also said he has been producing for some time, which gives the mixtape a different weight from a standard singles run. A 25-track set suggests there is enough material to build a catalog around, not just a short-lived online moment.

Instruction Time, the track he recorded with producer Shakespeare, is already doing the heavy lifting. The song has been trending on TikTok, where Roze Don has posted challenge-style content and invited viewers to join in using the song’s original sound. Fan clips have followed, including posts tagging @ROZE DON and referencing DC-US, a sign that the track is being pushed beyond Jamaica and into diaspora-facing social feeds. For a dancehall act trying to stretch his reach, that kind of circulation can be just as important as radio play.

Roze Don is not coming from nowhere, either. Jamaica Observer had already identified him back in 2021 as an underground-circuit figure making a name with songs such as Spain Town Badness. That history helps explain the shape of the current rollout. Don’t Count Me Out reads like a statement of intent from an artiste who has been building for years and now wants to turn underground credibility, production work, and digital traction into something bigger.

The North American tour plans make the ambition even clearer. Canadian and U.S. dates would give Roze Don a chance to move from screen to stage, where dancehall careers are often tested outside Kingston. If the mixtape lands in summer and the touring push follows through, Roze Don will have done more than cash in on Instruction Time. He will have tried to turn one breakout into the kind of structure that lasts.
