New York, NY February, 2021.Known
for speaking on the injustice of the voiceless, with a catalog of
reggae hits, the multi-Grammy award winning Trinity, Morgan Heritage has
returned after two years to share their observation about the lack of
attention media sheds on injustices.
Set for release, Friday, February 11th,
2022, “Headline Fi Front Page” features some of dancehall’s top young
guns like Rytikal (aka Purytikal), Jahshii and more seasoned artist I
Octane. This stunning new single is a groovy mix between the rootsy
reggae, which Morgan Heritage is known for and some vibrant contemporary
dancehall, hip hop style fused.
Morgan Heritage is known for their award-winning music, and massive singles like Don’t Haffi Dread, Down By The River, Tell Me How Come and Sunday Morning. Stellar albums like Grammy nominated Avrakadebra, Strictly Roots, which won the Grammys for best Reggae album in 2016 and most recently released Legacy,
have helped to cement their space in Jamaican music history. Originally
made up by five of Denroy Morgan’s very talented children, Morgan
Heritage the band is now comprised of Roy “Gramps” Morgan, Peter
“Peetah” Morgan and Memmalatel “Mr. Mojo" Morgan who are considered The
Trinity. The musical fabric of the group remains intact, and their
latest single is proof.
“Headline
Fi Front Page '' invites young artist Rytikal, who recently underwent a
transition of his own, with a more positive moniker Purytikal to give
his take on the impact and responsibility media has on the information
shared . He manages a skilled report on the social atmosphere, following
in the footsteps of Morgan Heritage’s signature tone of keen social
commentary. I-Octane, as the more experienced of the younger acts
featured, brings his distinctive brand of disapproval for the flawed
society that continues to fail the youth. Jahshii, gives his perspective
on the misdirection news entities perpetrate with a passionate verse of
his own.
Morgan
Heritage provides a much-needed space to reflect on the state of our
society, but also the state of the media that is charged with reporting
on these conditions. They bring up several issues that have been the
subject of debate in Jamaica over the last year or two, including the
unfortunate shaving of a young Rastafarian by the police. Produced by
Morgan Heritage themselves, this record will officially be released by
one of the group’s imprints, Heritage Grown Productions and distributed
by Johnny Wonder in North America and South America and by Horus Music
globally.
