VP Records drops ‘Fig Tree’ to power ‘Rastaman 50’ album

Fifty years after Bunny Wailer planted his Blackheart Man, its roots are reaching a new generation with Fig Tree, a delightful reggae gem of a song reimagined by emerging reggae star Blvk H3ro and Wailer’s daughter, Cen’c Love, known for her stirring, soulful vocals.

The song itself is a powerhouse — a stout tribute to the enduring force of Rastafari’s vision of freedom, African identity and self-determination.

“The single is the first release from Rastaman 50, a conceptual album by The Wailers Trio marking the half-century of three pivotal solo records released in 1976: Bunny Wailer’s Blackheart Man, Peter Tosh’s Legalize It and Bob Marley’s Rastaman Vibration,” music executive Maxine Stowe said.
