Samory I’s solo debut album, STRENGTH, via Overstand Entertainment/Easy Star Records. The LP is helmed by prolific reggae producer Winta James (Protoje, Chronixx, Damian Marley) and features guest appearances by Jamaican reggae artists Lila Iké, Jesse Royal, Mortimer, Grammy-winner Kabaka Pyramid, and Capleton.
Samory I says, "The album is called Strength. It represents the struggles I’ve overcome, both mentally and physically, and is also a representation of my son, who is my driving force behind this album."
Echoing this sentiment, the album’s cover is a beautiful, stark, black and white photo of Samory with his son, shot by Yannick Reid. The vinyl is pressed on standard 140-gram black vinyl and includes a printed inner sleeve.
