Chromatic Roots.
A modern reggae band rooted in the feeling of being alive — where heritage meets soul, and rhythm becomes a way of connecting with the world around you.
Who Is Chromatic Roots?
Developed alongside YOUNIVERSOUL RECORDS as a complete creative property, the three-piece exists at the intersection of music, cannabis, life, and love — bringing a warm, soulful perspective to cannabis culture, made for the moments when the world slows down and people have time to simply be together.
Cannabis is part of their lifestyle, but it isn't the whole story. Chromatic Roots is about what happens around the smoke — the conversations, the relationships, the sunsets, the late nights, the laughter, the intimacy, the memories, and the people who make life worth experiencing.
Life feels better
when we experience it together.
What Defines The Music?
Chromatic Roots builds its sound from the roots of reggae while letting the music breathe beyond traditional genre boundaries. Warm basslines, organic instrumentation, soulful melodies, rhythmic grooves, harmonies, and modern production come together into something both familiar and new. Reggae is the foundation — the emotional palette stretches into soul, lovers rock, dub, psychedelic textures, and contemporary R&B.
Love songs and life songs.
Smoke sessions and slow dances.
Reflection and celebration.
Some songs are made for lighting up and letting the world disappear for a while. Others are about falling in love, missing someone, growing older, finding peace, or simply enjoying another beautiful day. Cannabis is woven into the atmosphere rather than forced into every lyric.
The result is music that feels warm, human, soulful, elevated, and deeply rooted.
The Visual And Narrative Environment Surrounding Chromatic Roots.
Chromatic Roots exists in a world where the pace is slower, the music is warmer, and there's always time for one more conversation — built around sunlight, nature, intimacy, friendship, romance, smoke, rhythm, and togetherness.
Three men stand at the center of it — not as distant characters, but as a brotherhood. Their chemistry, individuality, and shared energy become part of the identity itself.
Visually, Chromatic Roots lives in earthy textures, natural fabrics, warm light, skin, greenery, open air, ocean energy, intimate spaces, and understated luxury. Nothing needs to be excessive. The beauty comes from the feeling.
A smoke on the porch. A drive with the windows down.
A beach at sunset. A bottle shared between friends.
A slow dance in the living room.
A conversation that lasts until morning.
A lover lying beside you.
A song playing while the world finally gets quiet.
Chromatic Roots doesn't romanticize escaping life. They romanticize being present for it.
