Mark your calendar for Friday the 13th, because reggae history is getting a fresh voice. A brand-new vocal group, The Wailers Trio, made up of Blvk H3ro, J Written and Dahvid Slur, releases the album ‘RASTAMAN 50’ digitally on 13 November through VP Records.

The idea is a big one. The album goes back to songs from the 1976 solo albums by Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer, marking 50 years since those records came out. Leading the project is Maxine Stowe, CEO and executive producer of Black Atlantic Sounds (BASS), who had pictured a new trio carrying the original group’s vocal tradition forward to a younger audience.

Bunny Wailer’s daughter on ‘Dreamland’

There’s a family link too. Bunny Wailer’s daughter, Cen’C Love (born Ngeri Livingston), sings lead on ‘Dreamland’, a song closely tied to her father. That track is getting a visualiser and a digital campaign. A full tracklist hasn’t been shared yet.

Blvk H3ro confirmed the date himself on Instagram: “Rastaman 50 album drops this Friday the 13th.” He also posted a studio snippet captioned “Fig tree vocal session snippet,” tagging @beatsandstylesmusic, though it isn’t confirmed whether that song is on the album.

Dahvid Slur fans will remember Protoje introducing the Trench Town newcomer with ‘House Of Dread’ just last week.

Live in Trench Town next

The Wailers Trio are also set to perform at the Trench Town Music Festival in February 2027, during Jamaica’s Reggae Month. RTMRADIO.NET will be listening closely when the album lands.
