Juice Patrol is the solo project of the Kampala, Uganda-hailing artist Rhiad. Music becomes a medium of exploration for him that helps him discover the facets of his identity, autonomy, and individuality. Another way to look at it would be a celebration of the uniqueness as a pathway towards self-love. And true to this aim, his soundscapes are free form, intuitive fusions of style, texture, and patterns. It is remarkably contemporary, flush with so many sensibilities that he slowly shapes and streamlines to carve out the theme; with hip-hop beats, pop-rap verses, and a nuanced synth ambience.

Juice Patrol’s latest single is Joga Diski. Atmospheric, downtempo synths tingle all the way through the composition. His candid baritones create pocket narratives that crackle like candy wrappers. And somewhere between these two streams, a graph of youth, growing pains, love, passion, vocation, and struggle is plotted. Listeners of Amine, Chill Children, AMESS, and Nkoha are sure to enjoy the work of this artist.
Juice Patrol debuted in 2020 and has since released eleven singles. His casual style, yet impactful compositions is proof that the art that flows out of you doesn’t have to look like the others. As long as it’s true to you, it pops with an irrepresible life.
The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
