Samory I plants his feet firmly, grounded and confident, in a new era of roots reggae music where boundaries are limitless. His lyrical consciousness and distinct emotive vocals are resonating with fans across the globe. This month the Jamaican native is gracing the cover of two European magazines – UK’s essential black monthly Echoes and Germany’s highly touted reggae publication RIDDIM alongside fellow Jamaican artist Mortimer.
These accolades come before the release of Samory I’s anticipated solo debut album Strength, to be released this Fall 2023 via Overstand Entertainment and Easy Star Records. It follows his collaborative album Black Gold (2017) with Jamaican producer Rory “Stonelove” Gilligan, which helped make Samory a household name in reggae with his breakthrough standout “Rasta Nuh Gangsta” reaching over 10 million views on YouTube alone.
Over the past year, Samory I has teased us with singles “Blood In The Streets,” “Crown“ and “Wrath” featuring 2023 Grammy award-winner Kabaka Pyramid and dancehall legend Capleton from his forthcoming LP, produced solely by Winta James (Protoje, Chronixx, Damian Marley).
