🐝🪚 SCROLL I — “BuzzSaw” 🐝🪚
Ras Ceylon unveils “BuzzSaw,” the first visual and sonic transmission from Scrollz of Lion Rock — his forthcoming ninth album, co-directed by Timbo King and executive produced by the late Oliver “Power” Grant. Produced by 9th Prince of Killarmy, the track brings together Ras Ceylon, 9th Prince, and Timbo King in a hard-edged opening statement rooted deeply in the Wu-Tang Killa Beez lineage.
Originally released as an audio single in June 2025, “BuzzSaw” peaked at #2 on the HipHopGods charts and signaled the beginning of a new chapter in the Scrollz of Lion Rock saga. The record features an intro by Bobo David and an outro by Bobo Smith of Sizzla’s Judgement Yard, with mixing and mastering handled by Xarina for Studio X.
The official video, shot and edited by Hostage Media, was filmed at “The Wall” in Park Hill, Shaolin — the historic Wu-Tang District. Captured on the day of Oliver “PoWer” Grant’s homegoing services, the visual — along with the Scrollz of Lion Rock album itself — is livicated to his loving memory. A foundational architect behind the movement, Power’s presence and influence remain deeply embedded throughout the project, which stands among his final executive productions in the physical realm.

RAS CEYLON – Scrollz of Lion Rock
Ras Ceylon is an Oakland, California–based MC and the first Sri Lankan rapper to emerge within the western Hip-Hop canon (debut in 1999), blending West Coast independence, precise lyricism, and reggae influences with ancestral awareness and a global perspective. His music bridges regions, lineages, and generations while maintaining deep Hip-Hop credibility, aligning him with artists who share his militant, socially conscious vision and establishing him as a singular voice in both the international and independent Hip-Hop landscape.
Scrollz of Lion Rock is Ras Ceylon’s ninth official studio album, slated for release in 2026, and marks a pivotal expansion of his Hip-Hop lineage. Built on the creative foundation of his 2024 project Jacket Fulla Medalz with Wu-Tang affiliate Timbo King, the album elevates that partnership into a fully realized, long-form statement that cements Ras Ceylon within the Wu Killa Beez lineage while highlighting his unique globally grassroots voice.
Co-directed by Timbo King—who appears throughout the album as a recurring guest presence—Scrollz of Lion Rock features Wu-Tang Clan family Cappadonna, Prodigal Sunn, 9th Prince, and Solomon Childs, alongside acclaimed MCs Ras Kass and Planet Asia—voices woven seamlessly into the album’s narrative, functioning as extensions of a shared militant and lyrical tradition rather than conventional features. Executive produced by Oliver “Power” Grant & shaped through A&R direction by Matthew “M80” Markoff (Holy Toledo Productions), the project stands as a cohesive, long-form statement rooted in legacy, lyricism, and militant Hip-Hop tradition.
The album is also livicated to the loving memory of Oliver "Power" Grant.
Through this album, Ras Ceylon carries forward a disciplined, socially conscious Hip Hop ethos while expanding its reach across coasts, generations, and cultures, adding a vital new chapter to that legacy. Rooted in boom-bap fundamentals and sharpened by present-day urgency, the album confronts themes of power, resistance, survival, and cultural memory with precision and weight. Tracks such as “DisInfoAge”, “Free The World”, and “Ancestorz” reflect the project’s political clarity and enduring relevance. The album’s title, intro, and cover art draw from Sigiriya (Lion Rock)—an ancient Sri Lankan rock fortress symbolizing strength, endurance, and inherited knowledge—framing the record as both historical reflection and contemporary statement.
Sonically, the album is highlighted by DJ Allah Mathematics, longtime DJ and creator of the iconic Wu “W” logo, whose involvement lends the project both musical authority and symbolic lineage. Additional production from Cruise, Dawit Justice, and HBK’s AkaFrank forms a raw, cohesive soundscape rooted in authentic Hip Hop textures. Scrollz of Lion Rock stands as a focused, culturally resonant release built for legacy and collector permanence.
