Last weekend’s Miami Carnival sounded the alarm for the release of brand-new Soca anthems as all eyes look toward Trinidad and Tobago carnival 2025. Zig Boi Music producer, Mr. Spine is as ready as he’s ever been, jumping back into artiste mode with the release of the Radio Active riddim. “There’s never been a better time,” he says, explaining that he’s about to lead the new generation of artistes from the front, showing them the necessary methods of executing to deliver a wholesome music and performance product.
A music producer, sound engineer, DJ and business owner, Mr. Spine is by no means new to the music business. In fact, he was instrumental over the past decade and more, for the music delivered by many artistes, including Orlando Octave, Kerry John, Grenada’s Mr. Killa and others. Across the region, respect has been earned – the entertainment professional having worked with artistes like Shabba Ranks, Beenie Man and Konshens among others. Now, as Carnival 2025 looms, Mr. Spine has set his intent and has pulled together a few artistes, as he unleashes the Radio Active Riddim.
“My single on the riddim is called, ‘BBL,’ and it’s dedicated to the ladies who love themselves no matter face, size or figure. It’s a song that’s designed for fun and we’re about to have a lot of fun with this one,” he laughed. The other artistes on the riddim are Yankey Boy and Cedonia who’ve collaborated on their track, Leonce, Kerry John and Rayzor. “I believe riddims are good for two reasons,” said Spine. “I see the value in riddims for the collaborative marketing of a project – something that lessens the financial strain on artistes – especially new artistes. Separately, as a producer, riddims help you to quickly build your catalogue,” he said.
Over the past 15 years, Mr. Spine chose to remain in the background, serving artistes with both his production and songwriting skills. “I’m currently working on my music label and it will be a multi-dimensional, multi-service approach to artiste development in T&T and the Caribbean. I felt there was only one way to truly show young, upcoming artistes how the music industry should be approached – from blueprint to completion on a project,” he explained.
‘BBL’ was written by Mr. Spine but co-produced by Tal and Sucre. “We must endorse the youths in the music industry; they are the future,” he emphasized. His vocality on the importance of empowering young Caribbean artistes, is nothing new. He has championed the importance of artiste development for up-and-coming entertainers, for many years, via various platforms. Now, with an unbeatable spirit of action and promise, Mr. Spine is standing up front, ready to lead his troops into the new age of Carnival stage show and sound.

Grammy Award-winning reggae band Morgan Heritage returns with “Come Feel The Love,” an uplifting new single written and produced by nine-time Grammy Award-winning artist, producer, and songwriter Stephen Marley.
Released on July 10th through Ghetto Youths International, the song serves as a vibrant musical invitation to experience Jamaica through its people, culture, landscapes, and unmistakable spirit. According to a media release the song celebrates the essence of Jamaica through authentic storytelling, using the universal language of reggae to capture the island’s warmth, resilience, beauty, and enduring sense of community.
Led by the unmistakable voices of Gramps Morgan and Mojo Morgan, the single paints vivid images of Jamaica’s natural beauty, from the iconic lignum vitae and soursop trees to Negril’s coastline, Lovers’ Leap, and the communities where generations have shaped one of the world’s most influential musical cultures.
Complementing the song is a visually stunning official music video produced by Filmaica and directed by Fernando Hevia. Filmed entirely on location throughout Jamaica, the visual showcases many of the island’s breathtaking landscapes and cultural landmarks. Gramps Morgan’s performance scenes were captured in Negril and at the iconic Lovers’ Leap in St. Elizabeth, both destinations referenced in the lyrics, bringing an added level of authenticity and emotional connection, while celebrating the beauty and diversity of Jamaica.
Built around the infectious refrain, “Come Feel The Love,” the record embodies Jamaica as more than a destination – it is a feeling rooted in family, music, community, and connection.
Celebrating Home.
“Come Feel The Love” marks Morgan Heritage’s first newly recorded release since the ascension of one of its founding members, Peetah Morgan, opening a new chapter for one of reggae’s most celebrated groups while honoring the legacy he helped build. The single reflects the band’s enduring commitment to carrying its message of unity, love, and cultural pride to audiences around the world.
“Jamaica has given us so much, our identity, our music, our culture, and our purpose,” said Gramps Morgan. “This song celebrates everything we love about home and invites the world to experience the same warmth and inspiration that continues to shape who we are.”
Mojo Morgan added, “Reggae has always connected people across cultures and generations. ‘Come Feel The Love’ reminds us that Jamaica’s greatest gift isn’t just its beauty, it’s the love, unity, and positive spirit that people feel the moment they arrive.”
The record seamlessly blends Morgan Heritage’s signature harmonies with Stephen Marley’s timeless production, creating a contemporary roots,reggae anthem that honors Jamaica’s traditions while introducing its story to a new generation of listeners.
As one of reggae’s most celebrated families, Morgan Heritage has spent decades carrying Jamaican music to audiences around the world, earning a Grammy Award and building a legacy of socially conscious, spiritually uplifting recordings. Their collaboration with Stephen Marley, one of reggae’s most accomplished artists and producers, brings together two of Jamaica’s most influential musical legacies in a powerful celebration of the island, its people, and its culture.
More than the release of a new single, “Come Feel The Love” represents the beginning of Morgan Heritage’s next chapter, one rooted in the same values that have defined the band for generations while embracing a renewed purpose. As they honor Peetah Morgan’s enduring legacy, the group continues its mission of celebrating Jamaica through music and spreading love, unity, hope, and positivity to audiences around the world.
