U.S.-based dancehall artiste Iesha Nova is making bold strides on the international music scene with her latest single BallonDOR, featured on the much-anticipated Blue Comet Riddim project, produced by DJ RoH of DJ RoH Entertainments0365 Records. The fiery track has been gaining momentum across the diaspora, enjoying steady rotation and signalling a transformative moment in Nova’s rising career. Her unapologetic style, laced with fierce vocals and a dynamic delivery, finds new footing on this riddim, which blends pulsating Jamaican rhythms with a futuristic sonic palette.
“This is a new chapter,” Iesha shares, beaming with pride over the collaboration. “Working on BallonDOR with DJ RoH has been an amazing experience. He’s incredibly talented, knows his work inside and out, and is a true leader.” Her words reflect a mutual artistic respect and creative synergy with the Westmoreland-born producer, who now operates out of the U.S. but continues to keep his productions rooted in Caribbean authenticity.
Known for previous tracks like Dial Tone and Goodie Anthem, Iesha Nova’s evolving catalogue is a testament to her versatility and commitment to growth. With BallonDOR, she sharpens her edge while embracing a more globally palatable sound without compromising her cultural core. It’s a sonic evolution that mirrors her own journey—one defined by bold expression, raw talent, and an unwavering work ethic.
Much of Nova’s artistic identity has been sculpted under the watchful eye and visionary production of DJ RoH, whose imprint continues to shape the dancehall and reggae landscape. His latest riddim projects, including Roots One Riddim and Blue Comet Riddim, have drawn attention for their high-caliber production and meaningful messages. “My productions are different because of the message and the vibes, all while keeping the roots,” RoH explains. His approach blends traditional Jamaican energy with modern soundscapes, positioning his label—and his collaborators—on an upward trajectory.
Together, Iesha Nova and DJ RoH are proving that dancehall’s next frontier is not only in Jamaica but wherever the culture travels. And with BallonDOR blazing its way through speakers from New York to Kingston, this duo is showing no signs of slowing down.
