Alwayne Love, in collaboration with T25 Records, has just shared the highly anticipated, awe-inspiring reggae single, Africa The Motherland.

Africa is the world’s second-largest and second-most populous continent, and although countless stories have been told about this region, Alwayne Love‘s presentation is done in a way that not only educates, entertains, and enlightens its listener, but it is also quite gripping.
