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.”
