DUB melts ICE
K Rizza
MEDIA ALERT — FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE K Rizza Releases New Instrumental Dub Album “DUB melts ICE” An instrumental progressive dub, reggae, and hip-hop record confronting immigration enforcement and affirming due process and human rights. MORRISTOWN, N.J. — June 26, 2026 — Producer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist Kieran Sullivan, recording under his production moniker K Rizza, today releases his new instrumental album, DUB melts ICE, on all major digital streaming platforms. The eight-track, 26-minute release blends progressive dub, roots reggae, hip-hop production, live instrumentation, field recordings, and original sampling into a politically charged instrumental statement. Written, produced, recorded, mixed, and mastered entirely by Sullivan at Fox Hill Records in Morristown, New Jersey, the album reflects his belief that music can serve as both artistic expression and social commentary. The album’s title, DUB melts ICE, is intended as a symbolic statement. According to Sullivan, the project represents “the healing and transformative power of dub music to melt the cold machinery of immigration enforcement.” The record voices criticism of actions by U.S. immigration agencies (including ICE and DHS) and affirms support for due process, civil liberties, and the human rights of immigrants, U.S. citizens, and allies. Track highlights & references: • “RNG Minnesota” — referencing Renee Nicole Good • “VML” — referencing the court-designated initials used in the case of a two-year-old U.S.-born child whose detention and deportation drew national attention • “Earthstrong” — commemorating the album’s release on Sullivan’s birthday • “N.C.S.E.D.B.M.W.” — initials standing for “No Child Should Ever Die By Man’s War” Unlike traditional reggae productions, DUB melts ICE layers homemade samples, live performances, original MIDI compositions, and carefully selected royalty-licensed samples into dense instrumental soundscapes that merge classic Jamaican dub techniques with contemporary hip-hop production and psychedelic textures.
