Jamaica-born, UK-based singer-songwriter Kerk Milan has teamed up with international reggae-dancehall artiste Capleton for a powerful new single titled “Big Chat.” The socially conscious reggae track highlights both artists’ commitment to using music as a platform for meaningful dialogue and community awareness.

“Big Chat” confronts the troubling reality of young people becoming entangled in gang activity and gun culture, often committing crimes and causing harm in pursuit of material gain. Through compelling lyrics and a reggae sound, the collaboration calls attention to the consequences of violence while encouraging a more positive path forward.

Released on January 30 via First Name Music, the single is now available on all major streaming platforms.
