In 2021 dancehall-gospel artist Jimmy Fagan shared his first full-length studio album: Tell the Story, Vol. 1. The thirteen-track project, which was published on the Basco House Production label, is a compilation of all his earlier releases.
Since the LP came out Fagan and his team have been consistently sharing singles from it. Hard Work is the latest.
For approximately four and half minutes Jimmy Fagan explains why it is important to exert physical and mental effort in order to make a living. Using a hardcore dancehall track – no pun intended – he outlines the benefits of putting in both effort and endurance in whatever we do.
The official video, which shows Fagan toiling as both a taxi operator and a construction worker, accurately represents the lyrics.
