The Sunset Rises is proud to present “NLSZN,” a custom strain born from our collaboration with the innovative alternative reggae and hip-hop band, Native Leaves. This partnership celebrates the intersection of music and cannabis, delivering a strain that captures the band’s energetic, nature-inspired sound.
Native Leaves is a rising star in the music scene, blending alternative reggae and hip-hop with a fresh, laid-back vibe that resonates with fans across genres. Based in Salt Lake City, Utah, the band—comprised of Logan “Lowg” Kartchner (Lead Singer), Adam Ashby (guitar), and Brigham Tautoil (backing vocals, guitar)—formed in 2019 and quickly made waves with their debut LP, Dabin Fever, released in 2021. This album, featuring fan favorites like “Sundress” and “Park City,” has surpassed 1 million streams across digital platforms, showcasing their ability to craft cohesive, feel-good music. In 2022, they dropped the hit single “High Heels,” further solidifying their presence in the reggae and hip-hop scenes. Native Leaves has performed at prestigious venues like The Depot (Utah’s Live Nation Venue), The Great Saltair Amphitheater, and Reggae Rise Up Fest in both Utah and Vegas, earning a reputation for their high-energy live shows. Influenced by artists like Tribal Seeds, Chris Brown, and Jack Johnson, they create a sound that’s both vibrant and introspective, blending reggae’s soulful rhythms with hip-hop’s edgy beats. Their music often reflects themes of nature, positivity, and self-expression, making them a perfect fit for this collaboration. With a growing following on platforms like Instagram and Spotify (where they have 8K monthly listeners), Native Leaves is a band on the rise, connecting with fans through their authentic, genre-bending style.
“NLSZN” (Native Leaves Season) is a custom strain crafted from the cross of “First Impression” and “Tangie,” two strains that perfectly complement Native Leaves’ musical vibe. “Tangie,” a sativa-dominant hybrid, is celebrated for its bright, citrusy tangerine flavor—think zesty and uplifting, with a nod to its parent strains, Tangerine Dream and Skunk-1. It’s known for its energizing, mood-enhancing effects, making it ideal for creative sessions or social gatherings. “First Impression,” a progeny powerhouse, adding a balanced, earthy depth to the mix, rounding out Tangie’s brightness with subtle, grounding notes. Together, they create “NLSZN,” a strain with a flavor profile that starts with a burst of citrus and finishes with a smooth, earthy undertone. The effects are just as dynamic: an initial wave of creativity and energy, followed by a mellow, relaxing finish—perfect for mirroring the uplifting yet chill vibes of Native Leaves’ music. This custom blend is a testament to The Sunset Rises’ commitment to creating strains that are as unique as the artists we collaborate with.
