New roots reggae releases: November 2 – 8, 2026

This week in roots reggae, Beenie Man navigates public discourse with a new release addressing social and political themes, while Capleton launches his album 'Heights of Fire' across streaming platforms and on cassette. The legacy of Bob Marley & The Wailers is revisited through a deep dive into the making of 'Exodus', an album that continues to shape the genre's identity. Meanwhile, archival releases spotlight Sugar Minott's 'Leggo The Dread' and a pivotal moment in reggae history when Johnny Nash achieved international success years before Marley's breakthrough.
