Reggae icon Ziggy Marley has issued “Racism Is A Killa” as a second single and precursor to his upcoming album Brightside; the LP set for release on vinyl on April 18 and digital on May 1. The new track is a timely and powerful statement from the multiple Grammy-winner. It is especially relevant as its February 27th drop date coincided with the final days of Black History Month (and Reggae month).

The latest release follows “Many Mourn for Bob,” the lead single from the forthcoming Brightside set. A tribute to his legendary father, the song arrived earlier in the month, on February 6th, celebrating the anniversary of Bob’s birthday.  It was accompanied by a video that includes never-before-seen footage of Ziggy and Bob together.

In addition to the new album, 2026 ushers in the 20th anniversary of Marley’s critically acclaimed, Grammy Award-winning album Love Is My Religion. In honor of this milestone, Marley has released Love Is My Religion 20 (Live) – a live album available now at all digital streaming platforms.

As well, Marley is plotting a full tour schedule in support.
