On the track “Stop Put Money Over Life,” veteran reggae singers Anthony Redrose and Hopeton Lindo deliver a timely message advocating for greater compassion and a shift away from an overemphasis on wealth driven by greed.

Co-written by the two artists, the song is produced by Redrose under his Raggedy Joe label and was released on March 27, 2026. Speaking on the inspiration behind the track, Redrose described it as a wake-up call, emphasizing that life extends beyond the pursuit of money and material possessions. Instead, he highlighted the importance of how individuals treat one another, noting that the love one gives will ultimately be returned.

Redrose also shared that the decision to collaborate once again with Lindo was influenced by the strong reception to their previous joint effort, “A Different Christmas.” That single was released in 2023 as part of the “Feel It Christmas” EP, produced by Lindo through his Irie Pen Records imprint.

“Stop Put Money Over Life” further benefits from the contributions of iconic musicians Sly Dunbar, HandelTucker, and Dean Fraser, adding depth and musical richness to the production.

Both Lindo and Redrose emerged on Jamaica’s music scene in the 1980s, honing their craft on the Kingston sound system circuit. Their longstanding friendship dates back to their early days at the Waterhouse studio of legendary producer/engineer King Tubby, and has remained strong over the decades.

Anthony Redrose is widely recognized for songs such as “Under Mi Fat Ting,” “Tempo,” and “Intimate,” while Hopeton Lindo is known for hit singles including “Territory,” “Silent Consent,” and “Lonely Night.”
