Bugle & Big Feet Records Connect On Upcoming Single

The next single coming from U.S. based reggae imprint – Big Feet Records – is Nuh Doubt, an uplifting, positive roots tune performed by one of the few outstanding recording artists in the reggae-dancehall fraternity, Bugle

Many years ago when Bugle publicly transitioned into the Rastafarian faith he made it clear that he would be mindful of both his words and deeds; and being a man of integrity, he has done just that. He has carried himself with dignity and decency, all while releasing chart-topping music filled with inspirational messages.

His forthcoming track, Nuh Doubt, is confirmation of the preceding paragraph. On it he sings:

“mi know say Jah Jah have mi back mi naa have no doubt
if it no positive it naa come out a my mouth
mi neva do this fi no one naa look no clout
if it no positive it naa come out a my mouth”.

Nuh Doubt will be available on all music platforms on Friday, September 15th, 2023, and it comes to us courtesy of Big Feet Records
