It’s no secret that the legendary Josey Wales is regarded as one of Reggae music’s most influential artists. Recognized as a cornerstone deejay, Wales, who is dubbed the “Outlaw” by peers and fans, helped shape the genre we know and love as Reggae Dancehall. Now, more than ever before, Wales has proven that time hasn’t got a thing on him. This summer alone, the iconic artist has landed performances on 3 major U.S. music festivals.
Munga Honorable has definitely changed the pace on his latest song and video. It seems as though he is taking his fans back to his earlier days when he was all about lyrics and swag. All who loved when he dominated the scene with the single “bad from mi born” many years ago will appreciate this new track and video. This is Munga at his best!
