Six-time JUNO Award winner Exco Levi is once again proving that his influence extends far beyond accolades. With the upcoming release of “Easy Now,” a powerful collaboration featuring Julian Marley and King Cruff, Levi is not only advancing his own career but also amplifying the presence of Canadian reggae and dancehall on the global stage.
Slated for release on May 22, 2026, across all major digital platforms, “Easy Now” represents more than just a musical partnership—it’s a cultural bridge. By joining forces with the son and grandson of Bob Marley, Levi taps into reggae’s rich lineage while reinforcing Canada’s place within that legacy.
For Levi, collaborations like this carry industry-wide significance. “When one artist breaks through with a major collaboration, it helps create opportunities for more Canadian reggae acts to be taken seriously,” he explains. It’s a sentiment that reflects both ambition and responsibility—an understanding that success at his level can open doors for others navigating the same path.
Since arriving in Canada from Manchester, Jamaica in 2005, Exco Levi has built a career that stands as a benchmark for reggae excellence in the country. Widely regarded as Canada’s premier contemporary reggae artist, his six JUNO Awards for Best Reggae Artist—earned from ten nominations—underscore both his consistency and impact.
But Levi’s journey is about more than trophies. It’s about representation. With thriving Caribbean communities in cities like Toronto and Montreal, his work reflects a vibrant cultural ecosystem that continues to shape Canada’s musical identity. Collaborations like “Easy Now” highlight that reggae culture in Canada is not only alive but evolving.
Joining him on “Easy Now,” Julian Marley brings his signature blend of roots reggae and contemporary influences, guided by a deep Rastafarian consciousness. Meanwhile, King Cruff—a Jamaican-raised, Toronto-based MC—adds a fresh, genre-bending perspective, merging thoughtful lyricism with dynamic, modern rhythms. His growing presence across Canada, the U.S., and Jamaica signals a new generation of artists ready to carry the torch forward.
Together, the trio embodies reggae’s past, present, and future. And as “Easy Now” prepares to reach listeners worldwide, Exco Levi continues to do what he has always done—elevate not just his own voice, but an entire movement.
