The lead single for the 14 track roots rock reggae album “Viral” is a tongue in cheek critique of the current state of social media and Jamaican music. In the video which has surpassed 285k streams on YouTube, the Shengen singer quips “who freak out like Stallion fi get the Medallion.”
Alborosie is currently on tour to support the project, making stops in the US and Europe.
