Reggae recording artist Mr. Cool has arrived in Jamaica for an extended stay focused on music video production, grassroots promotion, and connecting directly with audiences and industry professionals across the island.

Mr. Cool arrived in Jamaica on August 18, 2026, and will remain on the island through the end of September. During his stay, he will be filming three music videos, including visuals for his previously released songs “All ThoseLies” and “Ibrahim Traore,” as well as a new single that has yet to be released.

In addition to the video productions, Mr. Cool will be undertaking a grassroots promotional campaign, providing an opportunity to strengthen his connection with Jamaican listeners while engaging with DJs, media, promoters, artists, and other members of the local music industry.
