Reggae artist Warrior King has just released a brand new single called Ethiopia. The track is featured on the Roots & Righteousness Riddim, which was jointly produced by Richard Roach of Digital 1 Production and Aston and Floyd Francis Barrett of Fams House Production.

The song is a powerful expression of King‘s deep love for Ethiopia and its people. He explains the inspiration behind the record in the following statement.

“I want to use my voice to bring attention to the struggles of the people in Ethiopia and all Africa and also solutions that can bring about peace and harmony for the future. With everything that’s going on in the country right now, I felt like it was important to use my voice to bring attention to the situation and to inspire people to take action. I hope that this song can be a source of hope and inspiration for the people of Ethiopia and for all those who love the country. Reggae music is known for addressing these types of issues with songs like ‘Zimbabwe’ by Bob Marley and ‘Apartheid’ by Peter Tosh.”

In 2021, Tad’s Record blessed us with a phenomenal reggae compilation called Reggae Virus First Dose. It was strategically compiled to help with the anxiety caused by the pandemic, as well as all the restrictions that came along with it. Although the album was shared in the 4th quarter of 21, songs from Reggae Virus First Dose did very well in 2022, receiving both heavy rotation and chart placements. 

Based on its success, executive producers Tad A. Dawkins and Tad A. Dawkins Jnr., have sagely decided to share the second installment. It is aptly titled Reggae Virus: Booster. 

Released on February 10th, 2023 (via Tad’s Record Inc.), this booster shot features some of the most respected artists in the reggae industry: Marcia Griffiths, Dean Fraser, Glen Washington, Anthony B, Sanchez, George Nooks, Richie Spice, Etana, and that is just to name a few. The project has a total of twenty tracks; and based on early reviews, it has the potential to surpass the accomplishments of its predecessor.

This record should be on every reggae lover’s playlist! If you have not done so as yet, get your Reggae Virus: Booster now! It is available on iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal and all other streaming platforms.
