A new reggae collaboration released during Reggae Month is reviving the regional and global debate on reparations for slavery and colonialism.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Gramps Morgan has partnered with Gassy Dread\u2014the recording persona of Gaston Browne\u2014on a single titled \u201cReparations,\u201d<\/strong> due for release on Friday. The track uses reggae\u2019s protest tradition to spotlight the historical trauma inflicted on Caribbean societies and the unresolved legacy of the transatlantic slave trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Morgan said the song is intended as more than a musical release, describing it as part of an ongoing push to keep reparations firmly on the international agenda. He noted that its debut during both Reggae Month and Black History Month reinforces reggae\u2019s role as a platform for political consciousness and social justice.<\/p>

According to Morgan, the song seeks to re-engage audiences across the Caribbean and the diaspora, while also appealing to the global community to revisit long-standing demands for accountability and redress. He said the message is aimed not only at listeners, but at governments and institutions linked to colonial exploitation.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The artist added that this year\u2019s Reggae Month theme, Rhythms of Resilience<\/em>, reflects the song\u2019s purpose\u2014moving beyond remembrance toward renewed calls for equity and justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Morgan also welcomed Browne\u2019s involvement in the project, saying the collaboration demonstrated a shared commitment to addressing historical injustice through creative expression. He described the Antiguan leader as focused and intentional in his contribution to the project.<\/p>

\u201cReparations\u201d was co-written by Morgan and Browne and produced by Justin \u201cJuss Buss\u201d Nation.<\/p>\n
