Ghanaian roots reggae icon Shasha Marley is poised to make a major impact on the African music scene once again with the upcoming release of his 16-track studio album, scheduled to drop on July 7, 2025.
Known for his conscious lyrics and authentic reggae sound, the artist is returning with a body of work that promises to uplift, inspire, and reconnect reggae lovers across the continent.
Shasha Marley, born Julius Amua-Sekyi, has long been celebrated for his distinct voice and socially-conscious music that resonates deeply with audiences. His upcoming album, which blends traditional reggae rhythms with Afrocentric themes, is expected to cement his legacy as one of Africa’s most influential reggae artists.
One of the standout tracks from the album is “This Generation (Nairobi),” a powerful anthem dedicated to the youth of Kenya. The song urges young people to embrace unity, purpose, and self-belief in the face of societal challenges. According to Shasha Marley, Kenya’s vibrant youth movement served as the primary inspiration behind the track.
“This Generation is my message to the youth of Kenya — and indeed all of Africa — to rise with pride, wisdom, and courage. They are the leaders of today and tomorrow,” he said in a recent interview.
The album is supported by a media tour and series of live performances in East Africa, with planned stops in Nairobi, Kisumu, Mombasa, Embu, and beyond. Fans can look forward to live renditions of both new songs and classic hits during the tour.
The artist’s team, in collaboration with Cool and Dread Promotions Kenya, Island Vibes Reggae Kenya, and Maumasounds Int’l, is ensuring the album receives wide regional exposure. From conscious roots reggae to spiritually uplifting tracks, the album promises to be a musical journey of enlightenment, activism, and celebration.
As reggae music experiences a resurgence across Africa, Shasha Marley’s voice remains as relevant and necessary as ever. His upcoming album serves not just as entertainment but as a cultural call to action, encouraging listeners to reflect, unite, and build a stronger, freer Africa.
