This forthcoming project will feature remastered versions of some of their greatest hit singles including “Don’t Haffi Dread,”“Down by the River,” and “Perfect Love Song,” among others.
Teaming up with some of Jamaica and Africa’s most renowned musicians, the band taps Ziggy and Stephen Marley, Bounty Killer, Shaggy, Chronixx, Beres Hammond, Patoranking, Stonebwoy, and more for their newer singles off the upcoming album as they continue to infuse the sounds of reggae across the diaspora and globe. With countless albums charting in the top 10 on the Billboard Reggae Charts, including their Grammy-winning projects Strictly Roots (2015) peaking at #1 and Avrakedabra (2017) peaking at #3, these reggae legends continue to shape the narrative of reggae music on the global stage.
