True to his roots<br />
Freddie McGregor, O.D.<br />
New York, NY – On July 1, 2016, Reggae<br />
Ambassador, Freddie McGregor, O.D.<br />
released his highly anticipated album, “True<br />
to My Roots” on his Big Ship Music label. Previously<br />
in June his hit singles entitled “What<br />
You Gonna Do” and “True to My Roots” made<br />
history topping the NY & South Florida Reggae<br />
Music charts up to 7 weeks in a row respectively<br />
and has continued to receive heavy<br />
airplay. Additionally, in a tribute to his longtime<br />
friend, Dennis Brown (Crown Prince of<br />
Reggae), McGregor includes a remake of the<br />
popular track “Your Love’s Got a Hold on Me”<br />
on the classic Studio One “Havenless” riddim’.<br />
Other notable tracks are “Calling” and “Indigenous<br />
People”, two anthems addressing the<br />
prevalence of violence, need for leadership,<br />
fight for Social Justice and encourages youth<br />
within many underserved communities today.<br />
“True to My Roots (the album) dropped<br />
right in time for International Reggae Day<br />
and has received rave reviews in the UK, Japan,<br />
the <strong>Caribbean</strong> and US, it’s definitely<br />
an album for the people. What began this<br />
year as a ‘new project’ is now a living testimony<br />
for many including myself. Giving<br />
your all, staying true and never giving up is<br />
what Big Ship Music is all about,” says Freddie<br />
McGregor – CEO Big Ship Music Inc.<br />
Currently the Big Ship family (including<br />
McGregor’s talented offspring Daniel “Chino”<br />
McGregor, Stephen “Di Genius” credited<br />
songwriter and producer on Drake’s “Controlla”<br />
hit and Shemabeth) is touring Brussels,<br />
Germany, Spain, Amsterdam, Belgium,<br />
Hungary and Italy. Get your copy on iTunes,<br />

Released on the Big Ship Music Inc. label<br />
with notable producers Dalton Browne, Cleveland<br />
Browne (of the legendary Reggae production<br />
duo, Steely & Clevie) and Lloyd Campbell,<br />
the album True to My Roots transcends<br />
the trials of life, inspires love, celebrates<br />
cultural pride and preservation and shares a<br />
prophetic message with today’s youth. True<br />
to My Roots is living proof that Reggae music<br />
is still universal and its boundaries limitless.
