Rome and Duddy Share Origins of New Single “Cannabis Tree”: Exclusive
The post Rome and Duddy Share Origins of New Single “Cannabis Tree”: Exclusive appeared first on Consequence.
Origins is our recurring feature series in which artists are given a space to dive into everything behind their latest song. Today, Rome and Duddy give fans an exclusive listen to their new collaborative track “Cannabis Tree.”
For two guys who are so intrinsically connected, Sublime with Rome’s Rome Ramirez and Dirty Heads’ Duddy B haven’t released a lot of music together. Since Dirty Heads’ “Lay Me Down,” featuring Rome, first brought the two together, they’ve dropped a handful of singles and even toured together. Yet all this time, fans have been waiting for a full collaborative project from the duo.
Thankfully, the time has almost arrived, as Rome and Duddy are teasing their upcoming joint EP, Cactus Cool, with a lead single called “Cannabis Tree.”
The song demonstrates the unexpected direction Cactus Cool is taking the pair. Their reggae rock roots are of course present, with breezy notes calling to mind sunny days and calm seas — and of course there’s the whole cannabis angle. But as the steel guitar notes begin to bend and twang, the Americana influence comes into focus, with Rome and Duddy giving nods to Dr. John and The Flying Burrito Brothers.
As a result, “Cannabis Tree” is a flavor that feels familiar yet fresh, a hybrid that rolls up the artists’ own sounds with buds of classic compositions. Take a listen via the accompanying music video below, and then read Rome and Duddy’s Origins of the track ahead.
“Cannabis Tree” arrives well ahead of the planned March 2023 release of Cactus Cool. It also comes as Rome and Duddy are gearing up to take to the road for their “Winter Moon Tour.” Dates run from late November through mid-December; snag tickets here, and find the full schedule at the bottom of the page.

A Place Where Everyone’s Welcome

We have a great community of supporters of our music. We love connecting with our fans and always inspire them to connect with one another. The lyrics of the song were heavily inspired by the idea of being somewhere off the map with people who are just like you. You may also be smoking a few joints.
Cannabis and How It Brings People Together
Mary Jane can unite the world. Have you ever heard of brawls breaking out at a reggae show? No. This song was kind of like our ode to the mother plant, whom we have been ever so graciously medicating with over half our lives!

A Cabin in Idyllwild, California:

We wrote this song in the mountains of Idyllwild, CA in a cabin overlooking thousands of trees. It helped provide a vibe for the song to flourish. Sometimes you need to get outside of your element, step away from the noise for a little bit to hear your thoughts. That’s exactly what the cabin did for us. I set up a mobile recording rig, and we wrote songs all day and night. It was important for us to be connected with the outside world while writing this music.
Writing Cactus Cool

This was the first song we wrote for the record, setting the tone for what we wanted to sound like. When we first got to Idyllwild, we made cocktails, rolled up some joints and listened to music all day. We had to get in the vibe. We aimed to merge our loves of Reggae, Americana, country, and folk into new original music. Something familiar yet new and exciting. This is where “Cannabis Tree” came to life. We started skankin’ those chords and melodies came rolling out.
