Busy Signal picked the perfect day to wave the flag. The dancehall star released ‘Mi Come From’ on National Heroes Day, the Jamaican holiday that honours the country’s seven National Heroes, among them Marcus Garvey, Nanny of the Maroons and Sam Sharpe.

The song is track two on his EP Songs From My TapeDeck, and there’s a twist in how you hear it: the EP isn’t on the usual streaming services. It sits only on the TapeDeck platform. To ease any worries about a paywall, his announcement promised “No subscription required” and “No credit card needed to get started.”

A love letter to home

Busy kept the message simple and proud. “JAMAICA, LAND WE LOVE!” he wrote, celebrating “our heroes, our heritage, our culture, and the beautiful island we call home.” He signed off with “Jamaica, we proud of where we come from!” and then turned it over to the fans, asking if ‘Mi Come From’ is their favourite track on the EP.

It’s a fitting release from an artist whose reach has always stretched well beyond the island, including his link-up with Major Lazer on ‘Watch Out for This (Bumaye)’. This one, though, is all about the roots.

So, is ‘Mi Come From’ your pick from Songs From My TapeDeck? Tell us, and keep it locked to RTMRADIO.NET for the latest in dancehall and reggae.
