A fresh wave of creativity is emerging from Mekelle, Ethiopia, and it’s making serious noise across YouTube and social media. The city’s latest rising star has just dropped a new music video titled “Bubble Thing,” produced by Mezleqiya27 Production—and it’s already capturing attention for its bold fusion of Dancehall rhythms and Tigrigna lyrics.

“Bubble Thing” isn’t just another catchy tune; it’s a cultural crossover that bridges the Caribbean’s vibrant dancehall sound with the rich linguistic and emotional depth of northern Ethiopia. The track’s infectious beat and visually dynamic video reflect a new generation of Ethiopian artists unafraid to experiment, innovate, and express themselves globally while staying rooted in their culture.

Produced under the growing creative house Mezleqiya27 Production, the video showcases high production value, creative cinematography, and a unique sound that sets it apart from the mainstream. The artist’s confident delivery, combined with Tigrigna flow and urban energy, positions him as one of the most promising talents to emerge from Mekelle’s expanding music scene.

As Ethiopian music continues to diversify and reach international audiences, “Bubble Thing” represents more than a single release—it’s a statement. It proves that young artists from regions like Tigray are ready to shape the future of the country’s contemporary soundscape.

The official video is out now on YouTube, and early reactions suggest this could be the track that propels Mekelle’s next star into the national spotlight.
