Levy’s Heritage has released the official video for “Sugah.” The song appears as track number four on their album The Triad, which was released on November 19, 2025. Rooted in reggae influences, “Sugah” delivers a convincing message by comparing the love of God to the sweetness of sugar.

The video was directed, shot, and edited by Oneil Levy, with support from assistant videographer Markino Barriffe. Viewers can watch the production on YouTube via the group’s official channel.

Levy’s Heritage is a respected Jamaican sibling gospel trio formed in 2005 and comprised of Oshin, Ovando, and Oneil Levy. As children of veteran gospel artiste Lubert Levy, the group has spent more than two decades in the music industry, skillfully blending reggae rhythms with contemporary gospel.
