JUNIOR TOOTS RELEASES HIS LATEST SINGLE “FAYAH FI DI WICKED” WHICH FEATURES BLESSED SAN AND KING KANASHI I!”

Forced to stay home during the Covid-19 lockdowns was tough for Junior Toots, an avid outdoorsman. With anxiety around the pandemic considerably down, he decided to write a song about his experience ‘behind bars’.

That song, Fayah Fi Di Wicked, will be released on September 1. It is produced by Soulfyah Productions, a British independent company.

On Fayah Fi Di Wicked, Junior Toots shares the mic with Blessed San, a rapper/deejay from Uganda and King Kanashi I, a roots singer from St. Croix in the United States Virgin Islands.

“I recorded the chorus and sent it to them, and they recorded their vocals and sent it back to me in a couple days,” said Junior Toots, who lives in California.

Fayah Fi Di Wicked is the follow-up to Physically Spiritually, a song Junior Toots first released in 2012 but recently revived for a second run. While looking to market it in Uganda, he was referred to Blessed San by DJ Raffa, a leading Disc Jockey in the east African country.

Shortly after, he contacted King Kanashi I who was also enthusiastic to be involved with the project which Junior Toots is confident will make a mark.

“Yes, I think it is going to be a hit, because it’s the voice of the people. The voice of the people is the voice of Rastafari,” he said.

Junior Toots is from St. Mary parish in eastern Jamaica. The son of reggae legend Toots Hibbert, he has been recording for over 15 years and has to date released four albums.

Like his father, who died in 2020, he is a regular on the live show scene. Junior Toots has performed on major shows such as Reggae On The River and the Sierra Nevada World Music Festival in California.
