Morgan Heritage and Patoranking say "Pay Attention!"

GRAMMY award winning super Reggae group keeps making history, and this time they’re doing it in Kenya, Africa!

The billboard chart topping group known for hits “Down By The River,” “She’s Still Loving Me” and “Psalms 23” featuring Buju Banton, teams with Nigerian star and sensation Patoranking with a song that is an ode to the ladies!

Under the philosophy of French philosopher and political activist Simone Weil who once said “attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity,” the comined musical forces deliver the song “Pay Attention.”  The song is the official second single from the highly anticipated Spring 2019 new Morgan Heritage album. "We’ve been working on the new album for almost 2 years and since setting   up our roots in Kenya, we long looked forward to filming a music video there and knew it
would take place on this new album. We didn’t know it would be for a song so emotional that speaks to men and women around the world, who have been through one thing or the next trying to maintain a healthy relationship. Relationship health can easily be lost because we simply didn’t Pay Attention” Mojo Morgan explained, with Gramps Morgan chiming in "Patoranking has been an artist we’ve been following and have loved the progress he’s made in his career over the last 5 years. So while vibing to the track, we knew Pato was the perfect fit. As the songs captures the perfect blend between dancehall music from Jamaica and the Afro-beat sounds from Africa taking the world by storm.”

An all around labor of love, all artists involved gained worldwide success on their own merit, and genuinely enjoy being representatives of each others country, and musical genres.  "It’s truly an honor when we can work with our peers in the music industry around the world and see their professionally first hand. Though he has become a giant of an artist in Nigeria, Pato is extremely humble and while filming the video in Nairobi, Kenya it would seem like we knew each other for years by the way we clicked. We are looking forward to sharing more music from our new album coming later this Spring and hope the world will love the musical journey we will be taking our fans on. Jah Bless!" - Peetah Morgan

Filmed in Nairobi and Masai Mara, Kenya, the video is giving viewers an insight into Brand Kenya
and the Nairobi Experience. Directed by Jordan Hoechlin and Mojo Morgan with production for the video made possible by CTBC Music Group, Island Vibes Coconut Rum, Bonfire Adventures, Onyx Lounge, Tribe Hotel, J Wonder 21, Eden Mara Camp, Village Market, Mario Tours and Roya Entertainment, "Pay Attention" featured four elegant timeless beautiful models provided by an agency owned by supermodel by Ajuma Nasenyana.

Roots - Rock- Reggae - Better Tomorrow with Raging Fyah!

If you're a roots, rock, Reggae fan, you are going to love the new release from Reggae group Raging Fyah!


“Better Tomorrow” is the second single following up the 2016 Grammy nominated album ‘Everlasting,’ and the first Raging Fyah release with new lead singer Journey.  Raging Fyah stays true to their sound in this brand-new song. 

Focused on building a bridge instead of creating a wall, the song is literally and figuratively a metaphor for one love and unity.  In a politically divided time, and with the need for all people to be recognized, respected and appreciated, Raging Fyah shows us that love and unity is the answer and division will only tear us apart.

Our new political agenda is to have a better tomorrow where we all live beautifully!  Make sure you request this song from your favorite DJ!  Sources tell me the single will be available on social media (streaming platforms) soon!

Christopher Martin's New Single and Video - LIFE

Christopher Martin’s video for “Life” premiered today on Billboard!  The focus single from his
upcoming album Then and Now, out May 3rd, is an up-tempo, feel good song about not taking life for granted. The single was released on Friday, March 15th and is available on all streaming platforms.

Directed by Dameon Gayle, the video starts with flashbacks to Chris’s childhood and playing soccer, then fast-forwards to now, of him at a pool hall with friends, enjoying and cherishing the moment.  The video also has a cameo appearance of Reggae super star Busy Signal.




Produced by Omar Anthoneil Samuels and Cory William Stoneman, and written by Christopher Martin, Omar Samuels and Cory Stoneham, the song follows other album singles “Bun Fi Bun,” “Can’t Dweet Again” and “Come Back” which has over 1 million views on YouTube.  

“The video has good vibes, it was good to have my brother Busy Signal” said Christopher.  “We just wanted a simple video that captured the message, showing the simplicity of life
and just hanging out.”

And Then is the follow-up to Martin’s debut full length album “Big Deal” which reached top 5 on the Reggae Billboard Charts in 2017.
