Mojo Morgan Releases ‘Jamaica Love’ EP – Backseat Mafia

GRAMMY-winning, founding member of reggae royalty Morgan Heritage, Mojo Morgan releases the new Jamaica Love EP.

The record is both a homecoming and a departure. Born in Brooklyn and raised in Springfield, Massachusetts, Mojo grew up between two worlds: the American dream and the Jamaican spirit that pulsed through his family’s veins. With Jamaica Love, he pulls those threads together into something fresh and deeply personal. 

The lead single, ‘Mountain Song’, captures that perfectly. Featuring his brother Gramps Morgan and his son Esh Morgan, the track is a soaring blend of acoustic soul, gospel harmonies, and reggae roots. It’s a song built for stadium singalongs yet grounded in the richness of Jamaica’s musical heritage, carrying echoes of Post Malone or Ed Sheeran but anchored by something undeniably Caribbean.

When Mojo Morgan speaks about music, it doesn’t take long before the conversation turns into something deeper. Legacy. Healing. Dreams. “Jamaica Love is more than music, it’s a message. It’s legacy, healing, and the soundtrack for anyone who’s ever had to fight for their dream,” he says. Family is stitched into the project everywhere you look. The late Peetah Morgan, Mojo’s beloved brother and bandmate, appears on the EP, as do his children and extended kin. Collaborators like Popcaan, Sizzla, Chronic Law, Pablo YG, and hip-hop heavyweight Maino round out the project, giving it the feel of a community gathering, each voice adding another layer of depth to what Mojo calls his “Rasta Rock” sound. It’s a genre-bending blend that fuses reggae with rock, hip-hop, country, soul, and pop—a sound as global as it is Jamaican.

With GRAMMY submission season underway, Jamaica Love is being entered across multiple categories, including Best Reggae Album, Best Global Music Performance, Best Country Duo/Group Performance, and Album of the Year. “It’s legacy work,” he says. “Something my children, my brothers, my people can look back on and feel proud of.”

That legacy extends well beyond the music. Mojo recently appeared on BBC 1Xtra and BBC Radio London, and this summer he lit up European festivals, including the massive Reggae Land Festival at MK National Bowl. International support has been strong, and a multi-platform campaign will ensure Jamaica Love reaches ears across the globe. But even as the spotlight widens, Mojo keeps his compass steady, rooted in love, resilience, and the cultural ties that link Jamaica to its diaspora.

The songs themselves range from the spiritual ‘When The Father Calls’ to the hard-hitting ‘Man of Action’ with Maino, each one carrying Mojo’s unmistakable signature: hope, struggle, and the courage to keep moving forward. It’s a project that honors the past, celebrates the present, and imagines a bold new future for reggae.
