RDX salutes taxi drivers with ‘Probox’ single

Several Jamaican artistes have assisted in creating a demand for products, from Clarks shoes to cake soap.

This time around, it is RDX that has created a buzz around the popular Toyota Probox, with their new Probox single.

The song has been receiving constant airplay, both locally and internationally, since making its debut on UK's BBC radio recently.

The single has also racked up more than 50,000 streams in little more than a week of release on the Spotify streaming platform, and was used locally as a theme song by a group of taxi operators, dubbed as the 'Probox Nation'.

"The taxi operators are often neglected. They work hard and deserve to have some positive attention, too. The song was selected by the Probox Nation, which is a group of operators that host events together and share a strong brotherly bond," said RDX member Renigade.

The popular Probox is a five-door, light commercial car produced by Toyota since 2002, while the Nissan AD wagon, also mentioned in the single, is a subcompact.

"Probox vehicles are very popular, but we had no idea this song would have garnered so much attention in such a short time. We are getting videos daily of taxi operators playing the song and endorsing it," added Delomar, the other half of RDX.

An animated video for Probox is available on YouTube until the official music video release, scheduled for early April.

RDX is still riding high from the success of Shake Your Bam Bam, which has amassed 28 million views. Their latest video, Set Good, has hit more than a million views after it was reposted by rapper Snoop Dogg.
