Reggae artist Ziggy Marley has released 'Racism Is A Killa' as the second single from his upcoming album Brightside. The track arrived on February 27, aligning with the end of Black History Month and Reggae Month. This follows the lead single 'Many Mourn for Bob,' a tribute to his father.
Ziggy Marley, a multiple Grammy Award-winning reggae icon, unveiled 'Racism Is A Killa' on February 27 as the second single from his forthcoming album Brightside. The song serves as a powerful statement, timed to coincide with the final days of Black History Month and Reggae Month. The full album is scheduled for release on vinyl on April 18 and in digital format on May 1.
This release builds on the lead single 'Many Mourn for Bob,' which debuted on February 6 to mark the anniversary of Bob Marley's birthday. That track pays tribute to Ziggy's legendary father and was accompanied by a video featuring previously unseen footage of the two together.
The new music comes amid other milestones for Marley. 2026 marks the 20th anniversary of his critically acclaimed, Grammy-winning album Love Is My Religion. To celebrate, Marley has issued Love Is My Religion 20 (Live), a live recording now available on all digital streaming platforms.
Additionally, Marley is planning a comprehensive tour to support these projects, though specific dates have not yet been announced. These efforts highlight Marley's ongoing commitment to reggae traditions and social themes rooted in his family's legacy.
