Known for hits such as Shoot Out, Short Temper, Shine Eye Gal, What is Life, Party Next Door, General Penitentiary and Solidarity, Grammy winning and legendary singer Mykal Rose is getting ready for 420 with his latest release Marijuana which was released on Monday April 17.

 

The song produced by Producer Ajal, is an ode to the medicinal benefits of consuming marijuana and is being released in time to commemorate 4/20.

 

4/20 (April 20) has become an international counterculture holiday based on the celebration and consumption of cannabis. Locally, there are events held to highlight the significance of the day. 

 

Rose, who scored multiple hits with Black Uhuru (the first winner of the Best Reggae Recording award in 1985) shared his thoughts on the medicinal benefits of marijuana.

 

“Well, it is an herb and plants are good for everything. At times it is used to distance my thoughts from the world around me and to re-direct that energy into life itself. It is a practice of meditation into an elevated state of being for me and each time I consume the herb a revelatory thought is reached so that is the beauty and healing of it for me personally,” said Rose.

 

Rose spoke about working with Producer Ajal on the project.

 

“Working with Producer Ajal was smooth and easy. He has put together a team which feels more like a family to work with. The positive energy helps the process along and the outcome is always the greatest. The relationship has been organic and vibes naturally with Ajal. Nice clean work is getting done and you can definitely expect more projects to follow with him.”
