Fast forward to the present, where Jean Dread, now Jean Delafamily, carries the torch forward. A brief hiatus only fueled their evolution, culminating in the promise of a forthcoming Bob Marley tribute album—a testament to their unwavering commitment to the reggae revelation.

Within this rich musical tapestry, a creation demands the spotlight—the latest release that sets the reggae scene ablaze. Enter “Solution Dub,” an instrumental masterpiece that transcends eras, ushering listeners into a sonic utopia. The rhythmic alchemy of the Family Band reveals a reggae saga—a journey where the latest release isn’t just a song but a portal to a timeless realm where reggae reigns supreme.
