A few years ago, shortly before the pandemic, Antigua & Barbuda’s reggae ambassador Causion found himself in a precarious situation. In November 2019 he was rushed to the emergency in South Beach, Florida, only to be told that he had stage 3 colon cancer.
Following his diagnosis – and once he was able to get back to work – Causion, in collaboration with his longtime friend and veteran musician, Maurice Gregory, co-produced his latest project: The Mission Is in Progress. This is a seven-track EP, released on his birthday – June 24, 2023 – that takes listeners into the mind of the Antiguan singer-songwriter.
The Mission Is in Progress leads with track #5, Thank You, an inspirational record on which Causion publicly thanks Jah for all He has done. “I wrote that song at a time when there was a lot of stress going on in my life, and even though all the things seemed to be going in the opposite direction, I was still grateful for all the things myFather had given me and blessed me with,” says Causion.
